Fighters Performance Podcast

A champions legacy starts as soon as they hit the mat - The earlier the better!

Warren Rosser OAM has contributed a lifetime to the development of Kids Judo programs. He has a designed a program that develops kids into athletes from the age of 3 years.

Judo is an extremely dynamic sport which requires performance attributes such as coordination, stability, core strength, bump education, and many more.

When kids can develop these attributes early they set up a strong foundation of strength and an understanding of movement that supports them throughout their sporting career - wherever that may take them.

He has received well deserved recognition for the UNSW Kids Judo program here in Australia. Awarded an Order of Australia for his contribution to the community and his own sporting achievements. He has also been invited to Japan, the origin of Judo to lecture on the development of young Judoka at Universities.

We are lucky to have him on the Podcast! Enjoy.

One of the most successful strength and conditioning coaches in fight sports at this current time shares his insight into how he approaches training for fighters.

- Mobility (Flexibility and Stability)

- Resiliency to injury

- Limiting factors of performance

- Training methodology

Learn more about his refined methods to building mobility and how it fits into a strength and conditioning program of a professional fighter.

How does strength and conditioning for fighters differ from that of other contact sports, like Rugby?

We have Glenn Stewart on Episode 5 of Fighters Performance Podcast talking about his strength and conditioning with Professional Rugby players and some of the correlations between the two sports.

An interesting chat that covers the professionalism of training and resources of Rugby and Professional Fighters.

*Be prepared for some really bad audio from his office in Nelson, New Zealand.

How are injuries effecting your performance?

On Episode 4 we talk to Matt Wall about injury prevention in fight sports and factors we can change to lower risk of injury in training and competition.

Most people would tell you injuries are just part of the sport, and "They just happen". Well, there are things you can do that will help you lower risk of injury.

I personally believe strength and conditioning is first and foremost a tool to keep you on the mat and performing at your best.

I hope you can take something from this conversation to keep in injury free and training and competing at your best.

We will cover:

- Managing training load.

- Using training methods fit for purpose.

- Screening movement competency.

- Progression of exercise.

- Movement Selection for fighters.
