Your priority is your combat sport. Feeling burnt out and having consistent niggling injuries is a sure fire way to end up with a more serious injury or just not enjoy your training. With sessions designed to work on your strength and conditioning plus improving your ability to move and address common injury prone areas for combat athletes, you will feel the benefits of good programming!

Sharpen your blade!
Working hard and grinding all the time may seem like the only way to get ahead in the combat sport arena. However, taking the time to sharpen your blade and then come back is the smarter way to approach this game. Become more well rounded with strength and conditioning for your game. This will pay dividends in the long run for you combat sport career or hobby.

FAQs
Will this program interfere with my combat sport training?
No. The program is specifically designed and evidenced based so it can be used in conjunction with your combat sport training. All you have to do is the work in the program and focus on recovery.
What if I miss a day?
Just keep following the program. Don't try to make up session. This will just interfere with your future training and recovery.
How much communication will I get with the coach?
I want to help as many people as possible. I will communicate with you throughout the program but not as much as 1:1 coaching. If you are after more hands on coaching then check out my website www.blackmountainathletic.com
