Concept
Warrior Fighting Fitness
No one would seriously question
the importance of fitness and conditioning training
for the Martial Artist. But that's pretty much
where consensus on this topic ends.
When I started out in the Martial Arts I was
amazed at the confusion over martial art fitness
at almost every school I visited. Some would
do little more than advise you to stretch and
'warm up a bit' before class whilst others would
contain a bodybuilding' sub-culture of students
who believed that heavy weights were the key
to success.
I like my classmates was confused. I was convinced
that the technical differences between these
Martial Arts was not enough to explain such
a radically contrasting approach to fitness
and conditioning training. After all, we all
have effectively the same tool whatever Martial
Art we practice - the human body.
As I began to study and research this area
more, I decided to go right back to the beginning
and ask questions like:
What fitness attributes
does the Warrior body need?
How can these be most
effectively achieved?
What became immediately apparent to me was
that fitness and conditioning training must
never be an afterthought to your regular Martial
Arts practice. Many people I saw even seemed
to train their fitness and Martial Arts in almost
complete independence. For maximum development,
I discovered that 'functional' fitness was the
key. I concentrated on exercises that trained
the body as a whole and those that developed
the fundamental attributes required by every
Martial Artist, whatever their chosen discipline.
The concept of Warrior Fighting Fitness
was born and I set about creating a complete
training methodology that would attempt to answer
all of the questions about combat fitness and
conditioning that I had heard over the years.
I wanted the Warrior Fighting Fitness
Manual to be more than just another boring workout
guide. What I had always personally wanted was
someone to come along and give me the total
low down on the best exercises, drills, recovery
advice, weights, cardio, and nutritional information.
I am very pleased that what I have written is
a realistic and comprehensive package for anyone
who wants to get serious about improving their
fitness and physical condition.
I was also aware that in the past I had bought
similar products, but they had seemed so complex
that I ended up abandoning any programme they
had contained. To avoid this happening I produced
the Warrior Fighting Fitness Collection DVD
to accompany the Manual. The three volumes contained
on this DVD contain workouts that cover fundamental
fitness, specific combat attribute training
and light equipment routines relevant for anyone
who wants to get in great shape.
Many of my students have benefited greatly
from our School's functional approach to fitness
and I have produced the Warrior Fighting
Fitness Manual and DVD to allow others
to learn and apply our unique training methodology.
