Most fighters don’t lack effort. They lack the right type of strength.
This 8-week Explosive Strength Performance Protocol is designed specifically for martial artists who want more power, speed, and control without getting bulky, stiff, or slow.
This is the same foundational system I use before progressing athletes into higher-level performance coaching.
If your kicks feel heavy, your shots lack pop, or your strength work doesn’t seem to transfer to your fighting, this is where you start.
