A strong martial artist makes for a better martial artist.  Bringing strength to your foundation and using it effectively as a martial artist will only help you get better.  Strength also is related to injury prevention.  A Strength Training Regimen does not  correlate into many extra hours of training within your week.  No, it can be added strategically to fit into your training regimen.

Endurance Training is also just as important.  Yet there is a balance which must be met for the athlete, the competitive fighter, and the martial artist in general.  

Another key area is the combo of 

Speed, Agility, and Quickness.  This is a category of training which has specific drills and parameters for training, otherwise one can overtrain.  

 Coach Ayers can also assist you with a solid but general plan to compliment the martial arts training you are doing now.  This type of training is more of a maintenance and injury prevention plan with some focus on improvement in strength and endurance.  Having such a plan that can help you focus and maintain decent strength, assist with injury prevention, and help you to make strides in physical endurance is important for the martial artist.  

The best descriptor is a 'hybrid' philosophy of training which is to supplement your martial arts training.  You want the confidence to know that you have solid endurance and strength.  Yet you also want to make gains without an injury.  

This is where having a Pro like Coach Ayers help you!

Your performance is tied to 3 big things; Sleep, Hydration, and Food Intake.  

Eating to little will not allow you to make it through your training and day.  You will suffer from fatigue and the inability to do follow through with all of your training and the general things you do during your day.  Eating too much will see you hold on to body weight that is not needed, which can hold you back too.  Not getting enough Protein or the correct amount of carbohydrates can also negate all the work you do to make gains.  

Coach Ayers can implement a Nutritional Strategy Plan as part of your overall plan.  

The 'Nutritional Profile' is customized to you personally.  Taking into account your age, gender/sex, current body weight, physical training, and % Body Fat.  The profile will breakdown how the number of grams and calories you need per day in the various food categories to attain maximal human performance.
