| My training methodology is a product of the Russian school of thought. Since, in my opinion, Russia stands out as one of the premier locations in the world for specific physical training. My work with MMA fighters involves reaching a certain phase of training which most closely resembles actual competition. For instance, in terms of force, action and reaction, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, and mainly intensity, all of this is done with movements similar to actual fighting. However, above all, one must be aware that in order for all of this to be successful, we need to have at our side (physical trainers) a qualified team of doctors, researchers in the field, and a biochemist, among others. As new fighting techniques are developed and with the growth of this new sport, we know that physical preparedness is becoming more essential. -Rafael Alejarra |
