Functional Combat Fitness Training

​If your goal is to to get physically prepared for combat, you have to focus on good fitness and conditioning in the specific activities you are going to perform. You can’t just technique your way to success and expect CrossFit or bodybuilding workouts will pick up the slack. Running 5 miles in 30 minutes in shorts and a t-shirt or doing 100 pushups in a minute literally does nothing to condition you for carrying 100lb and fighting all day in the mountains of Afghanistan. Instead, put on your full fighting load (body armor and full mags) and do fartlek training (jog/sprint intervals) for 5 miles at least twice a week to prepare your body for the constant stress of carrying extra weight and having to move fast with no rest. If you want to be considered a professional, then directly work on perfecting your profession and conditioning your body to be able to handle it, and more. Welcome to functional combat fitness training where the motto is “train hard, fight easy”.
