1) Physical Armour 2) Strategic Armour 3) Mental Armour
Who ever knows me knows I always think in 3’s , just like there is 3 Points Of Referrences in F.I.G.H.T. for years now my personal training has envolve 3 different divisions of education and training. While they are 3 totally different divisions, they 3 must intergrate into one, and the balance between the 3 is super important! A lot of people end up developing one more thatn the other two and the imbalance is their ultimate weakness. Today I am only mentioning the physical armour, next time I blog on this subject will be about Strategy Armour…and finally I will blog about the mental armour.
1) Physical Armour : this is where , for me, Combat Fitness comes into play…can I run fast in a chase? can I jump up or down in case of an emergency? can I lift heavy to clear something? Can I push a car that’s broken down? Can I climb a wall? Can I knock out a guy thats heavier than me? Can I Handle the grappling strenght of a wrestler? Can I hold my breath under water? and the list goes on…as you can see , I only concern myself with functional real life issues, not how I look. Those who are consume with how they look already failed, because the theme of their Physical Armour is based on appearance and not on the actual functional purpose of this armour. Thousands of words could be written on functional strenght training and this subject is indeed very complex. Here at the HaganaH National Headquarters we follow 12 different Combat Fitness modules workouts :
1) Combat Fitness Circuit Class*
2) King Kong**
3) Godzila**
4) Hunter**
5) Ghengis Khan**
6) Longhorn**
7) The Engines*
8) The Gladiators*
9) The Shadow Boxer**
10) The Chairs**
11) The Big Wave*
12) The 35’s*
1 “*” means a total random workout, in other words the stations/exercises are random and never the same.
2 “**” means its a set workout, with a specific target skill/attribute development
with 3 Combat Fitness workouts a week, we shuffle those modules constantly!
I also break this down in 3 circles, with the physical armour being the outer circle, the strategy circle being the midle circle and the mental armout being the inner circle that’s the closest to your inner core. I will talk about this at the conclusion of this “3 Armours” posts.
Have a Kick Ass day!!!
