Here are some of our best Boxing Workouts used by the Bristol Titans
Boxing Workout #1
10 x 1 minute rounds of power punching on the heavy bag. 60 seconds on 60 seconds off. But this isnt a tap and mov
e skill workout, to feel the benefits from this you have to hit full power full speed, no gaps, breaks or hesitation, just continual non stop 100% smash-the-bag. Have 60 seconds rest between rounds.
Boxing Workout #2
Round one, you’re going to go jab for jab with your partner. Use this as a chance to practice slipping, parrying, timing, distance and movement.
Round two, firing the basic 1 – 2 combo at each other, make sure to respect that cross, keep your hands up and your chin down!
Round three, add in the lead hook for a 3 punch combination. By now if you are confident you should be going full power and also working in laybacks and weaving.
Round four, add a cross onto the end for a solid 4 punch combination. Go back and forth so you both get to train!
Round five, open spar! Throw it all together and fight!

Top 5 Kettlebell Workouts for Krav Maga
Here at the Krav Maga Bristol Titans we understand that to be a fully functional fighter you will also need a base level of strength, stamina and endurance. The kettlebell is a fantastic training tool that we can use for developing our strength, our core, our cardio and our overall ability to move.
Fighters from all sorts of backgrounds can benefit from using the kettlebell, whether you are a student of MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, BJJ, Grappling, Karate, Judo or any other Martial Art, everyone can use the kettlebell to develop brute strength, cardio and explosive power.
As fighters you want to spend most of your time in the classroom, you need to spend time honing your art, training, drilling and sparring. So we don’t have the luxury of having 8 hours a week to lift weights but yet we know that we need a good solid base of strength which can be achieved well from 2 or 3 short but intense full body kettlebell sessions each week.

Instructor Jim Halton of Krav Maga Bristol writes:
Here are 3 tips for students beginning to train in groundfighting.
In the Titans club at Krav Maga Bristol we train sparring every session. We train stand up sparring but we also train in sparring on the ground.
