Cool brief post from my good friend and colleague, John Kavanagh (BJJ Black Belt and head coach of SBG Ireland):

It is funny to read what some people seem to think effective training is all about. Silly slogans like:

 “Pain is just weakness leaving the body.”

“Go hard or go home.”

“Ya man I lifted until I collapsed.”

Let me give you a secret, all the top fighters I’ve trained  and all the top athletes I know, the ones who reached a very high technical level, they all train at a moderate pace most of the time; but, only in every single case.

One good session a day, medium pace with some bursts of intensity, and then ‘maybe’ one lighter session in the evening; in fact the best guys will avoid spazzy guys that just want to go nuts, it is of no benefit to them, and they are an injury risk.

Skill attainment aint a sprint folks, you’ll be ‘jogging’ for many years; take it easy and look after your body, don’t buy into BS slogans.

Flow with the go.

- John Kavanagh
