Strength and conditioning at the Shinobi Academy is unlike a gym based program in that we tailor make it to suit the mixed martial artist; it is as much about building a strong inner core as it is a conditioned outer body. Some of the equipment that we have you will recognize from a traditional gym set-up, however, we are focussed more on sports specificity, and for this we include training with kettle bells, the TRX and RIP60 apparatus, as well as the traditional Olympic bar and standard dumb bell techniques for lifting. This type of training is an important addition to our mixed martial arts fitness program.
