Fighters Five a Roadmap for Developing Relentless, Explosive Fighters Foundation of Developing Physical Fighters FIGHTERS FIVE A ROADMAP FOR DEVELOPING RELENTLESS, EXPLOSIVE FIGHTERS FOUNDATION OF DEVELOPING PHYSICAL FIGHTERS POWER STRENGTH ENDURANCE HEALTH YOU’RE A COMBAT ATHLETE hether you’re a fighter or grappler, you chose to Wcompete in one of the toughest sports that exist. Champions in these sports are built over time, with consistency, hard work, planning, attention to detail, monitoring and adjusting along the way. There is no quick fix, shortcut, easy way to the top At the highest levels everybody is talented and tough. The difference between them and the thousands of others gunning for the Number One Spot? Winners take consistent, massive action towards improving themselves every week. Top athletes must organize their whole life around improving their mindset, skill, strength, conditioning, recovery, nutrition and more. And most importantly: winners have an absolute, crystal-clear vision of Who They Are and Where They Are Going. They are constantly analyzing and assessing throughout camp and then making adjustments to address their specific situation. SIMPLY GRINDING & WORKING HARD IS NOT ENOUGH TELL ME IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU: • You consume so much information, you are confused about what to do. • You find yourself subscribing to old-school, outdated training methods. • Your workouts are more about building mental toughness (“building character”) than improving athleticism. • Whether you train alone or with a team of coaches, you lack a coordinated plan of action. • You try to mimic or train like your favorite athletes. • You don’t test or monitor any aspect of your training, your body, or your health. • You have bowed to the altar of high intensity training, no days off and are grinding yourself into a deep hole. SOUND FAMILIAR? IF SO, IT’S OK. EVERYONE HAS BEEN THERE. I personally trained like this for years and had to learn the hard way. Truth is...if you want to get ahead these days, you have to avoid these pitfalls and learn to train efficiently. Most fighters and coaches are still making these mistakes. But, many are wising up and the most prepared and win-ready fighters are learning how to train more efficiently. Hear me out--I believe you have the heart of a lion and guts of a Spartan. It’s why you’ve made it this far. And it’s why you’re reading this book. I believe, with a few changes and right steps, you will become the champion you--and I--know you can become. So let’s cut to the chase. It’s time to separate the men from the boys. That means it’s time for you to eliminate the distractions, toxic habits and discover your strengths and weaknesses. In doing so, you will gain a clear vision of what you need to do to become a superior fighter or grappler. Let’s start with 5 straightforward questions. I’d recommend asking yourself these questions every Sunday… 1. ARE YOU HEALTHY? 2. ARE YOU IN SHAPE? 3. ARE YOU STRONG? 4. ARE YOU POWERFUL? 5. ARE YOU READY TO COMPETE? Honestly answering these questions WHICH WORKOUT IS can help you determine the best type of training for you. RIGHT FOR YOU? MMA | BJJ | KICKBOXING | WRESTLING | BOXING | MUAY THAI Think carefully about each question. Acknowledge your strengths and HOW CAN I GET STRONGER, FASTER & ARE YOU HEALTHY? work on your weaknesses. Now’s your IMPROVE MY CARDIO? YES chance to find them.

What Workout is Best Suited for Your Goals COMPETE WHEN THE TIME TO PERMORM ARRIVES, THE TIME TO PREPARE HAS PASSED PART 1 ARE YOU HEALTHY? HEALTH IS THE FOUNDATION PERFORMANCE. Health allows us to train, recover and stay mentally sharp. Without this healthy foundation, all of your other effort will be futile. Healthy = injury free, well rested, properly fueled, energetic, sharp, alert and eager to improve your craft. Back in the day, fighters just worked hard. It was all about the grind. Survival of the fittest. No days off. This often leads to sluggish, exhausted, slow, injured athletes... and short careers! But the guys that paved the way rarely talk about the lifestyle habits, mistakes, the fatigue, the exhaustion, and unnecessary challenges that sidelined many of them. You know what the problem is? We think surviving crazier and crazier workouts builds character. Nah, brother. We’re in the game of glory, not gluttony. Don’t get me wrong, these guys were tough as hell, and have a lot of teach us, but I’m here to tell you that there are more efficient ways to prepare. We can learn from the people that came before us and improve the way we train. IF YOU HOLD ANY OF THESE BELIEFS, YOU ARE GOING TO STRUGGLE. • YOU NEVER TAKE DAYS OFF. • YOU HAVE BEEN COACHED TO “TRAIN THROUGH THE PAIN.” • WHEN YOU’RE INJURED, YOU NEVER HAVE A PLAN TO WORK AROUND IT. • YOU DON’T HAVE ANYONE ON YOUR TEAM YOU CAN TRUST TO HANDLE YOUR INJURY. • YOU DON’T ACCOUNT FOR ANY OF LIFE’S OTHER STRESS-- MONEY, FAMILY, WORK..ETC • Poor Posture is the product of our SO, ARE YOU sedentary lifestyles.

Coaches and athletes believe that ‘more is better’ and that they need to train as hard as possible everyday in order to get ahead. • Previous Injuries are one the biggest predictors of future pain and injury. Typically during recovery, only the site of pain or surgery is addressed, ignoring the compensations your body naturally makes. This leaves the rest of your body vulnerable. MANY TIMES WE IGNORE THESE SIGNALS & WANT TO TOUGH IT OUT. Common injuries include feet and ankles; knees; lower back; shoulders; elbows and wrists. Many, if not most, fighters do. The difference? Most think ignoring their aches and pains will make them stronger. In fact, it’s the opposite. Exercise should push you, but it should not hurt you.

    This is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article forthcoming for publication in JOURNAL OF SPORT AND SOCIAL ISSUES, copyright SAGE: http://Jss.sagepub.com/content/early/recent. Gender, Media and Mixed Martial Arts in Poland: The Case of Joanna Jędrzejczyk Honorata Jakubowska Institute of Sociology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland Alex Channon School of Sport and Service Management, University of Brighton, Eastbourne, UK Christopher R. Matthews School of Sport and Service Management, University of Brighton, Eastbourne, UK Corresponding Author: Dr. Alex Channon, School of Sport and Service Management, University of Brighton, Eastbourne, UK Tel: (+44)1273 643746 Email: [email protected] 1 Gender, Media and Mixed Martial Arts in Poland: The Case of Joanna Jędrzejczyk Honorata Jakubowska, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland Alex Channon, University of Brighton, UK Christopher R. Matthews, University of Brighton, UK Abstract Recent growth in the media visibility of female combat sport athletes has offered a compelling site for research on gender and sport media, as women in deeply masculinized sports have been increasingly placed in the public spotlight. While scholars in the Anglophone West have offered analyses of the media framing of this phenomenon, little work has been done outside these cultural contexts. Thus, in this paper we offer a qualitative exploration of how Joanna Jędrzejczyk, a Polish champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has been represented in Polish media. Our findings reveal a relatively de-gendered, widely celebratory account, primarily framed by nationalistic discourse – findings we ascribe to both the particularities of the sport of mixed martial arts as well as the historic nature of Jędrzejczyk’s success.
