Perfect Your Overall Skills Through Single Disciplines

Cross training has always been popular for martial artists. Mixed Martial Arts is about taking the best for you and building your game. For example if you are a kicker, you will need to work on your punching. If your specialty is grappling, you might work on your boxing. The best way to improve your weaknesses is to immerse your self in them. To learn to box, go to a boxing gym. Train for several months and try some amateur fights. The goes for kickboxing or thai boxing. Don't just hit pads and spar, especially with guys that don't do what you are trying to learn. Guys will work on their boxing but they aren't working out with boxers. Train with those who specialize in what you are trying to learn.
