I have realized that I have made a mistake letting my fitness, most specifically my combative strength and fitness go.. and not doing much in that area for ages..

I guess its because I got comfortable and until now in the confrontations i've been in, so far my fitness has not been an issue.. but last night I realised that I have been stupid to let my fitness go..

At one stage working last night I seen a fellow security guard get thrown over a table by some guy.. and I went in and we grabbed him to which he was trying to say he did nothing (Yeah right!).. he grabbed me and his friend was trying to stop us too.. but we started dragging him out.. about 3/4 of the way out 3 other guys jumped me, one grabbed me in a choke from behind, one was in front clinching me and another punched me.. I could feel myself fading a little from the choke.. I eye raked the guy in front which made him stop for a few seconds.. and eventually I got the choke off and the guy kept attacking so I clinched and headbutted him flush and kneed him and as he bend over put on a choke and dragged him out.. and the other guys were there by that time and ejected the other guys..

I was quite fatigued by the time I threw those strikes from wrestling with those 2 guys and if I had to keep fighting for much longer there would have been trouble..

So my new goal is to get my combative strength and fitness back up to par.. and im wondering what are some good resources on this? What do you guys do to build this? I'm not wanting any bodybuilding or type of stuff.. only fitness and strength that is ideal for fighting.. as I depend on good training to keep safe, as we all do..

Look forward to improving in this area Smile

There were a lot of combative conditioning ideas covered on the Martial Arts and Weights thread (Sorry, I don't know how to link), check it out.

A system I was introduced to a few months back is a good ass kicker. It is called the CRAWL - available from www.primalstrength.com.

someone i trust once told me that fighting is like a bath, you have to keep adding hot water periodically or it cools off. the way i chose to interpret that is, even when i'm not doing much training, i have a maintenance workout that is mostly striking for resistance and endurance--with pads propped against the wall. then i always offer training to several students, for free, because you always have to step up your game and work out with them to demonstrate what you want from them. keep adding hot water. for me, doing this stuff keeps the conditioning up and keeps the subject matter at the forefront--where it belongs.
