Training this way makes you a better fighter?

A real confrontation should end in 15 seconds or less.

It's Fast, Short, Intense, Stressful, and there aren't any breaks or time outs.

That's why our strength training program is set to mimic a real confrontation.

The only difference is we train for a minute at a time, just for insurance.

It guarantees that if the confrontation lasts for more than that, then you have a reserve of energy in case something does go wrong.

For example multiple opponents, your opponent is on drugs, etc...

You have to be able to sustain that high energy output and make sure your battery doesn't drain itself.

By simulating a fight in your strength training program you gain an edge on a potential opponent.

Station Training also helps professional fighters. Instead of focusing on the short and sweet we'll mimic their fight time. Example: 3 minute rounds with 1 minute breaks. Set the music using the intermediate or advanced CDs.

Follow the same formula, stay dynamic and explosive with high intensity for the whole 3 minutes, your body will adjust and be better prepared for that type of encounter.

Most people don't start with the basics and we encourage you to start progressively from the bottom up.

Keep this in the back of your mind while training: "If I had to defend myself and survive an encounter and measure my success by how many reps I'm doing in this exercise, would I be winning or losing?"

While training I try to compare slowing down or quitting to being knocked out, choked out or loss of life.

You can imagine with that image as an incentive I'm training like a mad man for the entire station and every subsequent one.
