Combat fitness encompasses a range of physical attributes and skills specifically tailored for military or combat-related activities, including self-defence. It involves a combination of strength, endurance, agility, speed, flexibility, and tactical/situational awareness. Here's a breakdown of some components of combat fitness:

​

1. Strength Training:
   In a military context, combat requires strength to carry gear, manoeuvre through obstacles, and engage in hand-to-hand combat. Strength training focuses on building muscle mass and improving overall strength through exercises like weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, and functional movements.
    

2. Endurance: Endurance is crucial for sustaining physical exertion over extended periods, which is often necessary in combat situations. 
    

3. Agility and Speed:
   Combat often demands quick movements and the ability to change direction rapidly. Agility drills, and speed training help improve reaction times and agility, enhancing the ability to evade threats and respond swiftly to changing situations.
    

4. Flexibility:
   Flexibility reduces the risk of injury and improves overall mobility, allowing you to move more efficiently and comfortably in various combat or fight scenarios. 
    

5. Tactical Training:
   Combat fitness isn't just about physical prowess; it also involves mental preparedness and tactical/situational awareness. Our training includes drills and simulations that mimic combat scenarios, emphasising decision-making, teamwork, and situational awareness.
    

6. Combatives:
   Hand-to-hand combat skills are essential for close-quarter encounters. Training in combatives includes techniques from various martial arts, focusing on strikes, grappling, and self-defence.
    

7. Mental Conditioning:
   Combat fitness training also addresses mental resilience and toughness. Our training will support your ability to manage stress, maintain focus and stay calm under pressure, in conflict situations and in your everyday life. 
    

Overall, combat fitness is a holistic approach to physical conditioning, encompassing strength, endurance, agility, tactical skills, mental resilience, and specialised training which aims to prepare you to perform optimally in challenging and unpredictable environments while minimising the risk of injury.
