This is for the long haul now after numerous changes. Now I’ve learnt how my body works and read up on just about every source I can lay my hands on I think I’m pretty happy with the following:

  • Monday: Conditioning (MMA workout, ICT, EIT, etc)
  • Tuesday: Ju Jutsu (dojo) + Strength
  • Wednesday: Koryu/Kobudo + Yoga
  • Thursday: Conditioning (MMA workout, ICT, EIT, etc)
  • Friday: Ju Jutsu (dojo) + Strength
  • Saturday: Conditioning (MMA workout, ICT, EIT, etc) + Ashtanga Yoga + Koryu/Kobudo practice
  • Sunday: Conditioning (MMA workout, ICT, EIT, etc) + Ashtanga Yoga+ Koryu/Kobudo practice

Some notes:

  • No core – This is because I’ve had the biggest core strength benefits from my Ashtanga yoga. The vinyasas alone really work the abs and back.
  • Conditioning 4x a week on top of ju jutsu sessions. I’m a big fan of conditioning and I started this thinking it was all about strength. I couldn’t bring myself to accept Ross’ belief that “conditioning is king”. Now I know form personal experience its 100% true!
  • Ju Jutsu – This normally has a 5 minute warm up beforehand and then 1:15min of practice which often ends in grappling or kumite bouts at the end for about 10 mins.
  • Yoga – I want to do more and so I’ll be greasing the groove plenty with mini yoga workouts throughout the week.
  • My weekends are the only time I get a decent amount of time to myself so its pretty crammed with stuff but it’ll be spread throughout the day to allow for recovery.
  • No more diary – I won’t be posting every single days activities anymore. I don’t see the point and I wanna concentrate more on posting things that are useful to people.
