Tiger’s own Combat Strength & Conditioning class “BATTLE CAT is a world class performance enhancement program designed for competitive fighters & athletes.
The class is non-contact, using training methods to increase strength, speed, power, endurance and energy system conditioning, with the aim to prepare the participants for the physical demands that combat sports (MMA, Muay Thai, Brazilian-JiuJitsu, Wrestling and Western Boxing) place upon its athletes.
This extremely high paced and high intensity class is for athletes with an advanced level of fitness and training experience.
The class begins with dynamic warmups, mobility-based movements, and then we get into the class emphasis of the day which varies from more strength work to energy system training. Followed by a cool down and stretch, as well as a discussion about application of exercises and principles as it pertains to combat sports.
If you are looking for a challenging class that will enhance your overall athleticism, then this is it
Class Descriptions
Monday – Lower Body Power / Upper Body Dynamic
In each class we have a daily main leg lift, followed by a series of exercises that dynamically strengthens the upper body, increasing our performance and athletic capabilities Here we focus on the chest, back, shoulders and arms.
Tuesday – Aerobic Conditioning
We’re focusing on increasing muscular stamina and endurance and burning fat. Today we lift lighter-weight, at a higher volume, for longer periods, with minimal rest. We do a full body session with approx 30-35 mins of solid work. Please note, that this is not a strength class.
Wednesday – Max Speed & Agility
Our main goal in this class is to produce the maximum velocity our bodies are currently able to achieve on the day, return and progress forward weekly. As a result, we become faster and stronger athletes. Our second goal is agility focused. Here we increase our ability to rapidly change directions without loss of speed, and also better our coordination, balance, and body control.
Speed and agility training is a vital part of strength and conditioning programming. Here we improve our movement patterns and transferable skills we can take into other sports, inevitably making us better athletes and/or fighters.
