Functional training, what is it, your thoughts on it and solutions.
I've no idea what it is, but I'd like to!

The body works all or nothing, you train movements not muscles.Quote:

This way a fighter's body can 'feel' which adjustments to make, rather than depending on the coach to constantly tell them which adjustments to make.
Its the right idea Chris, but you do train muscle, for strength and alinement in conjunction with the CNS. Ill put some ideas up later.Quote:

There are activities you can do in the office that can strengthen certain parts of your body. I do stretching and work on my knee.Quote:
