Online Strength and Conditioning for Martial Arts
Are you finding grappling martial arts, such as Judo or BJJ, challenging? Are less skilled opponents easily overpowering you due to their strength?
Technical training alone may not suffice, leading to frustration. The solution is straightforward: you need additional strength and conditioning to address this gap.
We will follow a structured training program periodized over weeks or months, focusing on your specific goals, such as improving upper body pulling strength. The regimen includes basic compound lifts like squats and deadlifts for overall body strength, along with Olympic lifts like power cleans for power development. Incorporating plyometrics will enhance speed and power.
​
If you struggle to last through bouts, inadequate conditioning may be the issue. A few hours on the mats each week may not be enough to achieve match-ready cardiovascular fitness. To bridge this gap, we'll tailor the fitness element of your training to match the demands of your sport, incorporating techniques like skipping, high-rep kettlebell snatches, and more. We'll address all three energy systems in your body (ATP PC, Glycolytic, and Oxidative) to elevate your fighting capabilities.
​
Concerned about gaining too much muscle?
Fear not; we'll ensure your ability to compete in your chosen weight category by minimizing hypertrophy unless necessary. The program will be personalized to your needs, aligning with your weight class and accommodating your schedule.
For those with busy lifestyles, mat time remains the top priority. We'll collaboratively design a training schedule that suits your time constraints, ensuring each session is fun, rewarding, and prepares you for matches.

Addressing potential injuries, our professional strength and conditioning program aim to increase bone density and strengthen ligaments and tendons, reducing the likelihood of injuries. We'll discuss existing injuries during our initial meeting and strategize how to work around them. By focusing on injury prevention science and enhancing soft tissue strength, particularly in vulnerable areas like knees and shoulders, we'll build resilience and minimize injury risks. Join us in transforming you into a high-level fighting machine!
It's easy to start
Experience the excellence of our face-to-face sessions seamlessly translated into an online format via our App. Together, we'll cultivate resilience on the mats through a tailored Strength and Conditioning program designed to align with your sports goals.
Our initial meeting, conducted via Zoom or in a local café, serves as a comprehensive discussion about your needs and any upcoming fights you may have. Nutrition, a cornerstone of any effective strength and conditioning program, will be addressed, allowing us to identify areas for improvement and implement necessary adjustments.
Given the complexity of strength and power programs, we require a minimum commitment of three months. Our flexible approach offers training options in various formats, including face-to-face sessions, online coaching, or a hybrid approach combining both. We are open to discussing your specific needs to determine the most suitable approach for you.
Before embarking on the program, you will undergo an initial assessment covering:
1. Basic Strength Test: Bench Press, Back Squat, and Deadlift assessments to gauge your strength.
2. Timeframe to Your Sporting Event: Understanding the timeline to your event is crucial for effective program tailoring.
3. Mobility Test: Identifying areas for mobility improvement.
4. Muscular Endurance Test: Assessing muscular endurance, often using exercises like press-ups.
5. Core Strength Assessment: Gauging core strength, vital for overall stability and athletic performance.

Bring your assessment results to our meeting, providing a solid starting point and guiding us toward your fight-ready goals.
