The popular MMA and cage fight training is like martial arts in that it is sports focused with referees, rules and forbidden strike zones. Participants are young, who train long and hard to develop muscles, endurance and flexibility. These people certainly are in peak athletic condition, however, COMBATIVS is not sports minded, has no forbidden zones; doesn’t require muscle, endurance and flexibility development; age, size and gender are not barriers and it is quick and effective for use in reality life or death situations.
