Start out slowly. This means using light weights or even no weights, taking the less intense options, And stopping when you feel like you need to. But we know by starting slowly and building up your fitness over a few weeks you will create long-term fitness habits. So get started on your journey to fitness now The mixed martial arts fitness workout.
We've got
karate, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, boxing, capoeira, and Brazilian jujitsu, they're
just to name.
So you can as much as you want, but we never actually hit anybody. You certainly leave the class feeling fierce, like a complete badass.
When we put the
body combat program together, we're doing it specifically from our proven
research. You know, body combat is the equivalent of doing 1700 crunches
because it's a rotational exercise movement. Every time you throw a punch.
Every time you
throw a kick dynamically, you have to work the muscles of your abdominals, and
it works when new people do body combat for the first time.
I guess they
might feel a little intimidated, but we start with a warm-up. We teach you all
the names of the upper body strikes and the lower body strikes. You get to feel
really confident throughout the rest of your workout. Your jab is your lead
hand bomb and your cross is your rear harm.
we move through
all the different martial arts, so maybe you'll find something in there that
you might actually gel with real quick. we've got some real heart rate stuff
towards the end of the workout, our Muay Thai phase of the workout. That's
where it gets quiet.
Fast, is my
favorite. But it's not like a complete you get in and then we just bust you.
It's an interval training program. As soon as you feel like it.
You get a
breather and we move on to another body part and another martial art style. All
right. Some top tips from us. Tip 1 clothing. Don't wear short shorts. We do
some moves where you get to, you know, move around a little bit and the short
shorts may restrict.
You're gonna be
burning a lot of calories.
There's gonna
be sweat flying around, you're probably gonna be a little dehydrated. So it's
always good to bring a towel and some water. We.
Totally expect you to just maybe do two or three tracks to go. Yeah, I've had a go at that. I could give that a whirl next week and just bring it back each time adding another track.
You see
everybody doing all these punching kicks and they look awesome and there's a
little bit of coordination around it. So it does take maybe two or three
workouts. It really gets a feel for all of the moves. Here's a common move that
you're always going to see in body combat. We call it the jab cross, you're
making a little L shape with your feet. Give me a little shimmy Turn your back
foot slightly forward 45 degrees and your jab is your lead hand bone and your
cross is your rear harm.
We call it the
front kick and the lads love this one side put 1 foot in front of the other.
Maybe you're right. Foot forward, it's all good. Whichever. Doesn't matter.
Bring your weight under the body by bringing the back leg in.
Bend the knee.
Pick the front leg up. Hands up. Open. close. Drop it down. Step it back. Do it
again with us. Step the foot in. Bend the knee. Pick the leg up. Open. close.
Drop it down. Step it back. Don't do it. Go for it.
