So you’ve decided to live like a champion and enroll in an MMA Gym. Martial Arts Schools come in different setups. Most schools are specialized in only one area like Muay Thai or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but nowadays there are some that offer both or most of fighting styles at the same time. Before you commit yourself to a gym’s monthly fees you must decide if you want to focus on learning one fighting style first or learn MMA off the bat.

Tacfit Commando is the hot new fitness system by world-renowned fitness expert Scott Sonnon. This is one of the most innovative bodyweight workout system that I’ve ever seen. I’ve been following Coach Scott Sonnon’s work since I started doing Flow-Fit, a series of body weight exercises that’s designed to develop your freedom of movement and also gain functional strength in the process. Sonnon’s system is focused more on developing functional strength rather than the aesthetic aspect of bodybuilding. In a nutshell, you can expect to develop a body that is fit to do anything you please rather than a body that is just “pretty”. After all, Tacfit Commando is the same workout that Israeli Special Forces are doing right now. Sonnon’s system usually involve little to no equipment allowing you to perform the workouts anywhere you want. He has literally taken body weight exercises to the next level and lets you workout areas of your body that no other workouts can help you develop.

Deconditioning is really a bitch. Having a monstrous conditioning is not permanent and it gradually decreases as you stop or decrease your training. You could feel the effects of deconditioning as fast as one week or within four weeks. But being laid off for a year, and doing nothing according to Tito, must have taken a toll on his conditioning and we all know what happened to him at UFC 106. The only way to prevent deconditioning is regular strength and conditioning training.For a wrestler that relies so much on his takedowns it’s very important to have great conditioning. Because takedowns and grappling moves take out more energy than striking. But at UFC 106 if he had a bit more gas he may have actually won.

Wanderlei Silva gives anaerobic training a whole new spin by actually eliminating air passage from his nose and if that wasn’t hard enough he further limited the intake of air with a snorkel. This workout will make your body crave for oxygen and will definitely tire you a lot faster. Don’t try this without supervision because you could totally pass out while doing this. This shows you how crazy Wanderlei’s conditioning is. But do you need to block your nose with a tape and breathe through a snorkel to enjoy this workout?? no. You could totally copy the workout he does but tone it down a bit to a more doable routine.

How Many times can you say that you learned a killer fighting technique but you were able to help relieve human suffering at the same time?
Once? Twice? Perhaps Never. Because usually when you practice your martial arts you make yourself better at fighting and inflicting more pain to your next opponent. About a month ago a powerful force much more fiendish than Fedor’s punching power struck the Philippines leaving thousands upon thousands of people homeless, hungry, and without shelter.The two typhoons (Ketsana and Parma) seemingly on roids tag teamed the country with no regard to rules. As a result people suffered from the worst beating ever and there was no after party to help relieve the pain.
