Good training for combat sports is not rocket science. Here are 4 considerations to get you started. 1. Train to a full range of motion. Overloading partial reps will only add more compression and fry the central nervous system. This offers very little value in combat sports, as the degree of movement variability is extremely high in unpredictable environments. 2. Work on enhancing multiple physical throughout the week all year round. Using a reductionist approach of rotating blocks throughout t

As you probably already know, I’m a big fan of full-body training layouts for a number of reasons, with the primary one being time efficiency. For combat athletes and hobbyists, available time for physical preparation is limited, as skills practice will always take precedence. When designing training or structuring an S&C program, time constraints will dictate the overall framework and exercise selection to drive specific adaptations. Full-body power sessions are particularly useful in the later
