Hi!
I was just thinking a couple of things about my training and I wanted to start some discussion here.
I've been doing Simple KettleBell Training at home. I achieved the goal in swings and almost in TGU (I had some problems in my left wrist that made a bit uncomfortable the TGU). But I had to stop training at home. I have a daughter (16 months old) and I can only train while she is at home. And it started to be a headache to train while she was running, shouting or destroying. Difficult to concentrate on a 32kg TGU with this Little Wonderful Devil at home
So I started to look for things out of home. First, I decided to join the academy of a former MMA fellow who's giving lessons on boxing, Krav Maga and ACT (armed combat tactics, knives, machetes and so on, very funny). So I go there twice a week on lunch time, 2 hours boxing and 2 hours Krav/ACT. But I started to think how to have a better strenght and power training to transfer to my sports.
A new Crossfit box opened two blocks away from home. I went there but it's my second time in CF and I still don't like it. I like all the "toys" they have, but not the Wods philosophy and how it's managed. I'd love to just go on my own, but going 100% on your own is kind of expensive (120€/month). I found a "globo gym" with a basic rack structure that can work, 30€/month, kettlebells until 24kg . So I was thinking that maybe I could restart combining some barbell training in the gym and maybe try to find time to do the KB at home when my daughter is in kindergarten.
All this made me think, how could one do some strength and conditioning complete training for martial arts? I read the Joel Jameson book on MMA, also Loren Landow, and this gave me ideas. For conditioning I have clear that 2 hours boxing and 2 hours "kraving" it's kind of enought. Thing would be something to complete and periodice strength and power basically. I have at home KB until 32kg and sandbag of 15kg. And the chance of a globogym with a rack not far away.
I don't know if it could be better just to restart S&S , but I'm also eager of some barbell. Thing might be how to combine everything better. How would you do it?
In fact I'm not looking for answers only for me, I'm trying to design a very good minimalist but effective and fun S&C for "aficionado warriors" like me, something everybody could use. Maybe we can create it
