What About Technique ?

Technique training for Combat Sports Conditioning can be broken down into 3 catagories;

O General Technical Training

O Directed Technical Training

O Sport-Specific Technical Training

General Technical Training simply refers to the learning of general exercises that have an impact on your performance. For example, learning to Lunge and Squat properly would be good examples for a combat athlete that relies on shooting in for a leg or perhaps a Suplex.

Directed Technical Training helps to form the foundation for future sport-specific exercises.

And Sport-Specific Technical Training simply refers to the actual skills used in competition such as submissions, sweeps, hooks or right crosses.

In future post, we'll be going deeper into each catagory.
