Ok! I deleted my first post because I had made a complete hash up of explaining, well, everything.

On sunday I entered a mixed martial arts competition, though it was mainly kickboxing and a few karate places, with a few MMA specific ones. Long story short I got beaten easily; completly overwhelmed, especially by the Kickboxers punches. though as I said before, they had just under a couple of stone weight advantage, more experience, and were fighting on their terms (as a side note- is th...

My focus on the last three weeks were on basic strength. Now I've started to focus slightly more on power.

I teach the Cardio Kickboxing program at AITKD. I was certified by John Graden in his CardioKarate program back in 1999 but have since developed my own program which is a combination of this and circuit training (Turbulence Training) and weights. I will soon be offering Combat Strike which is a body bar strike & block workout.

 

I've also introduced resistance/Thera/Dyna bands to the class for resistance training and stretching
