Combat 56

Founded by Major Arkadiusz Kups, Combat 56 is a Polish close-quarter combat, self-defense art similar to judo. It is named after an elite troop known as the 56th Company, a secretive unit thought to have operated behind enemy lines during a number of recent conflicts. Kups quickly recognized the need to equip his troops with a quick-to-learn, lethal range of close-quarter combat techniques that could be employed effectively on operations, and, although little is officially known about the system, it is reasonable to conclude that it contains knife-fighting elements, breaks, chokes, throws, and striking movements to vulnerable points of the body.

Here is the building block that everyone seems to think is the enemy. Yes, it is true if you eat too much fat, you will get fat. What everyone must remember, though, is that fat is essential in our diet for insulation, our cell membranes, our nerve conduction, and it is an important energy source, as well. Just as with all of the other building blocks, without fat, you are going to die.

There are a number of fats out there, and some are essential for mixed martial arts and performance in general. Overall, there are three types of fats. Saturated fats can be described as fats that are solid at room temperature. The fats found in a steak or butter are excellent examples of a saturated fat. There are also monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Some of them are good for you, and some of them are cancer just waiting to happen. Numerous oils, such as olive oil, fish oils, canola oil, peanut oil, etc., are examples of good types of fats.

I feel that physiology is the most important “ology” an athlete in mixed martial arts can know. I am talking about human physiology, which can be defined as the science of the functions of the human body and the chemical and physical processes involved. The better you understand how the body works, the better able you are going to be to train and feed it.

There are six building blocks of life. Simply put, if you are missing any of these components from your diet, you are going to die. This is stated not to scare you, but to help you remember. These six building blocks are water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. A basic understanding of the functions, sources, and appropriate amounts of each of these building blocks is essential for optimal performance. Without this knowledge, there is no basis for how you choose to eat.
