30 second sprints with 2 minute rests. Just 4 sets. Does anyone else consider that a low number of sets for a sprint workout or is that correct for a guy prepping for a fight?
I do but to be honest I don’t know what I’m talking about. A good idea would be to try the session once, see how you feel, see how you recover, and then if you feel like you can do more add a sprint and reassess. That’s what I’ll be doing.
Have a question for fighter : do you think that the size of hips had an impact on kick abilities? I got myself large hips and it's very difficult for me to build leg flexibilities, on the other hand guy like Justin Gaethje (whom I think got very narrow hips, maybe in comparison to the size of his shoulder🤔) is very efficient in leg kick...sorry for my English I'm a random French guy...
If by abilities you mean power , no , it doesn't affect it, if you mean in flexibility and how high you can go then yes, some people are more build for kicks than others. But you can still be a really good kickboxer, just throw a lot of leg and body kicks, maybe you can work more on your boxing to compensate. Turn your weakness into an opportunity ,a strenght
It is not about hip size but more about how your femur connects to your hips, you can tell for example when trying to do a side split, do you feel the burn of the stretch inside the thighs or you feel a weird pain on the outside of your hips (the femur smashing into your hips)
This warmup really looks like a track and field one I did with my team, its so amazing how different sports can incorporate the same workout but for different reasons!
True! Here in Brazil we did something similar in a chinese boxing training in 2015, in preparation for an event in which some of the team members had fights scheduled. So we see how the different sports can use the same science drills.
jogging will only help your aerobic which developes slow twitch muscle fibers which can last long but aren't very powerful, sprinting is anaerobic which developes fast twitch muscle fibers which can create lots of power in a short amount of time (explosiveness) but runs out of energy fast. For any fighter i would do both, end of story
I wish I had my foot broken. I used to be a fighter. But I have an arachnoid cyst on my brain... can't get hit in the head. I wish I could just spar for one more time...
Hey shane i was watching your older vids and realized you used to use the phily shell alot but not anymore why is that. Is it just not good for competion?
I really like watching your videos alot and I've been watching them recently but I have a question I am 15 years old I've been training MMA for about a 2 months now 4 times a week and I want to become a pro one day but the problem is even though I train I don't feel like I am training enough I want to train alot more than this but I have school homeworks they are preventing me from training to my max I won't leave school but what should I do who else has the same problem?
Don't worry mate, every fighter has the same problems. You need to relax and do what your doing. You say your training 4 days a week but you never said what type of training. 4 days a week in the gym is more than enough ,possibly too much. I would recommend 3 nights in your gym doing circuits and 2/3 days running in the mornings for 30min before school. Challenge yourself in the runs with hills etc and you will be more than ready to fight. If you really love your gym and need the 4th night work on technique. Rest is very important to prevent injury. 2 other things, train as hard at your diet as you do in the gym and get a goods night sleep. Good luck young man.
MMA1352 3 I ALSO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THE BEST THING I FOUND IS TRAIN EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THEN LATER IN THE DAY GO TO THE MMA GYM AND TRAIN THERE TOO BUT BE SURE TO SLEEP WELL AND EAT SO YOU DONT GET INJURED ALSO WHAT WEIGHT AND HEIGHT ARE YOU AND WIL BE LATER WHEN YOU BECOME PRO
Straight leg kicks Butt kicks Karaoke run A skip Triple extension Foot taps Reverse lunge Lunge twists Inch worm High knees A skip knee out (my favorite:] )
Great stuff guys! Also, the 'Triple Extension' #5, is actually Flexion at the hip and knee, the only Extension move is ankle plantar-flexion. And #11 is a C-skip pattern. Still a great warm-up, I'm just being a pain.
Shane could you give me ways to work on my conditioning and practice boxing still because I have a fractured ankle but have a boxing tournament in January for golden gloves😬 do you think swimming with upper body would be alright?
aw man you guys in redondo beach? I grew up in torrance and moved away not knowing that the south bay is home to a huge collection of amazing martial arts gyms of every style. Love the videos and the fight coaching and prep with ricardo, great video series!
nah definnitly not fam sprinting everyday like this can get you injured i remember shane doing a video on roadowrk and he said never do sprints more than 3 times a week
Hi, I live in Quebec Canada where we have snow and ice for at least half of the year. This makes it pretty difficult to get sprints done without risk. Is there an alternative exercise that you would recommend?
Can I interrupt ?? Before doing sprint workout, I do warm up that's very similar to the actual workout, most of it is just jumping and pistol squats while running nonstop for 5mins, after a short time , your legs will be very light you wanna run right now , try it and tell abt your opinion...
shane question, i been watching for years but i never overcame the issue of shaking to the bone before a fight even if im obviously going to win, why does that happen
