Martial Arts Fitness Training includes a wide range of disciplines and skills. Speed, strength, endurance, flexibility and agility are major components of your overall goals. 

To acheive high levels of fitness you must also pay major attention to your nutrition. If you are not fueling your body adequately then this will be counter productive to your training. 

Punching and Kicking, grappling, sparring, throwing are performed over and over. On top of training for co-ordination, timing, speed, strength and power this can all take it’s toll on your body. 

Their are many factors to consider when organising your Nutritional needs – 

Eat a measured amount of complex Carbs approximately every 3 hours to ensure you are receiving the energy your body requires. Eat high quality proteins approximately every 3 hours to ensure effective muscle repair and growth. Keep the amount of fats you have to a minimum as it is not efficient energy source for high intensity training. 

Martial arts nutrition is as critical as the training itself, give it the attention that it requires to be successful.

It is funny how fitness training has gone full circle and many fitness trainers have gone back to basics, teaching systems and exercises that we were doing 25 years ago. 

I am a big fan of keeping it simple, stop looking for new gimmicks and shortcuts. 

Lets get to work! 

Wrestling fitness is something all Combat Fighters should take a close look at, regardless of your style. We can all learn from other successful fighting Arts Instructors. 

It pays to mix your training up and cross train using strategies and concepts that have been used to great success. 

It is a fantastic sport and wrestling fitness has to be taken seriously. Great Strength, Power, Speed and Endurance are all attributes that a wrestler is striving to achieve in his training. Funny enough, much the same as many other grappling style sports such as MMA, Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. 

Steve Preston is one of the Worlds leading combat conditioning specialists, he has created a super site called “Wrestling Performance - Wrestle Better Now!”  

- with so much information on strength, conditioning and Nutrition for wrestlers but I would encourage anyone interested in combat sport to tune in and take notes there. 

MMA fighters will greatly benefit from the information that Steve shares. Go and Subscibe to his Free E-Course “7 Cutting Edge Ways to improve your wrestling” 

I simply cannot believe how rediculously low the membership is there when there is so much great information. Click the links above and go take a look for yourself. 

You do not need to go through the trial and error methods of training when all the hard work has already been done for you. Go with what already works in wrestling fitness.
