Conditioning encompasses a wide range of training exercises but in general these are geared towards building a body suitable for good martial arts performance. At Full Circle we incorporate many different types of body weight exercises (plyometrics, isometric, calisthenics etc) and also make use of a variety of equipment such as - resistance bands, sand bags, skipping ropes, jungle gym straps, medicine balls, kettlebells and Swiss balls etc - all of which are great for developing functional strength, explosiveness, cardiovascular and aerobic fitness, muscular endurance, core stability and balance. We also include some of the Pilates repertoire exercises into our training as we have an excellent Pilates Foundation teacher on the team - great for injury rehabilitation, improving posture, focusing on core muscular control and joint stabilisation. In addition, we also extensively use a variety of pads and heavy bag to develop penetration and snapping power, timing, reactions, striking combinations, footwork and defence.
