3x/week full body routine
No explosive exercises, just classic strength stuff; probably the wrong thing to do but no bumper plates so fuck that
Still take guys out with a couple of low roundhouse kicks but that's probably just cause they're low level fighters
A-at least I have visible abs

Strictly calisthenic training helps with athletic agility. You're training to deliver as much force as you can for a prolonged period, so in fighting terms that's like relentless volume of punches and kicks in an attempt to overwhelm your opponents and keep them off balance.

The most frustrating thing is an opponent who backs off as the pressure gets too high.

In scenarios where you want to end the fight as quickly as possible you cant have your opponent back off because you cant hit them as they move back, you're left with non-striking options: a take down, a clinch or cornering them - you then have hit them whilst in the clinch without giving them a way out.

That's my favourite part imo, clinch up and wait for them to pressure you back, half circle them and then launch that half circle style knee straight into their gut

Knees are very short range and only possible when an opponent is come at you while he's standing straight up like a thai fighter does. Any other fighting styles stance would leave knees a redundant move imho.

Fuck no1 wants to talk about fighting?

I agree for the most part, but sometimes the odd situation like a failed double/single can be a pretty good opportunity to throw one here and there

Anyone /muaythai/ here, am a couple of months in and am getting better as I transitioned from a school that taught mma. Everything is different and I keep opening myself up to head kicks and flurries of punches to my face when I throw a kick. Anyone got some primo tips?
>inb4 mma isn't a martial art

I do PPLPPXX

Cardio on satudays
I start with 3x5 on basics and then power then hypertrophy. Each workout is one hour long.

For push days: power is one hand dumbell push press
For leg days: power squats as mentioned in texas method
For back days: power is explosive rows

Cardio on sat is just a buch of meme tier cardio, ropes, burpees, pushups, jumps, low kicks till death etc.

I'm trying to find a place that teaches sambo near me but I can't what would be a comparable martial art for self defense? Not looking to do sports fighting.

Oh, i would be in LHW by the way.
Did taekwondo, now in summer kickboxing and hope to do amateur mma on october.
Lighter fighters should do less hypertrophy I guess. And less days maybe.

>>42440362
yeah im the pplppl guy.

Work on distances. This is, have you ever tried to be in the clinch, push the guy back and kick right to the head? Also, launch kicks as bandal chaguis, look it up on google or whatever, don throw it like it is to the head, just go for the body and then kick the head. Watch some taekwondo competitions and you'll understand.

Fighting is for children and thugs.
