 Total Training
Hello,
I currently just started training 'seriously' again. I have always trained, it is a lifestyle for me, but I have currently set a new goal to see how I adapt in the full contact competitions. I have many years of RL/martial arts training, to include some instructing of the military to bouncing and limited bodyguard work. I stopped training diligently for about the last 14-16 mos. My goal now is to adjust my endurance for the sport, while of course maintaining my RL effectiveness.
My first event is scheduled to be in December. I am logging here to perhaps gain insight and tips to the vast minds of the martial artists and fighters here.
Im currently looking into different schools to cross-train in, as well as continue to train out of my garage Dojo.
So lets begin . . .

***From here on, each post will cover one week of training.
**Note: My partners and training is sometimes limited due to my work hours, but I have a garage Dojo ... so I make the most.
I have increased my protein intake as well as creatine and water. I am eating low fat and keeping my carb intake medium to low.
Any input is welcome, many thanks fellow practitioners . . .
