Combatives & Strength Training: Hack Away at the Unessential
My combative training is heavily influenced by StrongFirst principles – few things, but better, waviness of the load, continuity of training process, etc.
Example from our MMA lessons: Most of the time we work on the same drills in a “same, but different” way – jab, cross, hook, uppercut, overhand, low kick; Thai clinch, wrestling clinch; takedown from the distance and from the clinch; positional drills on the ground (mount, back mount, side mount, guard), ground and pound, and few very reliable submissions (rear naked choke, armbar, guillotine, Americana, Kimura, triangle choke).
![Thomas Inch’s Dumbbell Get-Up Tutorial [1905]
See the new old article - link in the bio!
This is so far the oldest oldest get-up tutorial I have been able to find.
The book opens with following motto:
“The Glory of a Man is in his Strength. Be Strong.”
Yes, be StrongFirst @strongfirst - and as all Kettlebell Simple & Sinister practitioners know, the get-up is one of the best means to move well, and move STRONG!
Inch teaches a common old-school strongman variation of get-down to get-up, and with a dumbbell. Check it out!
