Welcome to Elite Combat Athletes! Here at ECA you have the opportunity to learn the fitness and technical elements of combat sports, Self defence, or, put yourself through the paces of an unorthodox yet effective training regime.

Here at ECA our training is sports specific and puts a huge emphasis on functional training.

What is Functional Training?

Functional training is a system of training which leads to better muscular balance and joint stability. The benefits arise from the use of training that emphasises the body's natural ability to move in three anatomical planes of motion.

In comparison, though machines can often be safer to use, they restrict movements to a single plane of motion, which is an unnatural form of movement for the body and may potentially lead to faulty movement patterns or injury.

The types of training we embark on steer clear from the standard resistance training machines which are of limited use for functional training as their fixed patterns rarely mimic natural movements. They focus the efforts on a single muscle group rather than engaging the stabilizers & peripheral muscles.

Elite Combat Athletes will get you training using the tools of our trade, such as;

Speed and Heavy Ropes, dumbbells, medicine ball, kettlebells, resistance bands, sand bags, Thai pads, weighted bar, gymnastic rings etc, to name a few.
