      i'm not gonna go into argument with you... but talent in martial arts is different thing, Idris did good because he is smart clever and intelligent and those are very important factors in the fight. There aint many talented fighters in the world, most of them just grind to the top thru really hard work and competition in K-1 is really low level compared to MMA or Boxing nowadays, that opponent really no talent

    Idriss Elba is thoroughly inspiring! I will get my are to work and implement work out routines of interval sprinting, interval running, calisthenics, abs training, ploymetrics, and weight lifting at least three to four times per week for not less than one hour per session over the course of the next four months, and when I've got significantly improved fitness levels especially in terms of endurance, I will then go into kick boxing and boxing heavy bag and focus pads workouts and intense amateur sparing, while periodically interspacing these with the sprints, interval running, calisthenics, ploymetrics, abs et al . And yes, also stretching. I will NEVER miss a leg and abs day again unless I'm sick or flying...

    @sebfox2194 Před 7 lety +129

    I understand the need for fighters to push their limits when training, to develop endurance, mental toughness, and a never say die attitude. But I don't think that you should train a 44 year old with the same sort of intensity and frequency as say a 22 year old pro fighter. Yes, he should push his limits, and train like a pro, but he's going to need more recovery time because he's over 40. Training him like someone in their 20s will most likely result in injuries. Yes, you have to train incredibly hard, but you also have to know your body and train smart. The old school no pain, no gain attitude can be counter productive if it causes an injury.

    • @Sirwastealot
      @Sirwastealot Před 7 lety +12

      It's a fine balance, Randy couture would agree with you and he was a champ at 45. He trained a lot less than most fighters for the same reason.
      But there's so many variables involved it's very tricky. Especially for someone new to it like Idris. He has to train very hard to catch up in terms of skills and his body. But still not so hard that it drains his body completely. It's really up to the coaches and you need a smart and attentive coach.
      Have to say he looked decent here though.

    • @EmbddedJiuSage
      @EmbddedJiuSage Před 7 lety +12

      The guy who starts early will retire early, because the weight cuts and head blows will accumulate over wars in the gym and in the ring, That's why those who start early retire early. Some people start at thirties and are still keeping up. From what I see here, his body responds in a good way, and he looks fantastic.
