Hey guys, just looking for a little feedback. We're finally moving into a FULL SIZE facility next month. While still in the building process, I was just curious on some recommendations. Is their any specific training tool, or piece of equipment that is a MUST HAVE? We have the mats, bags, mirrors and all that good stuff covered. But adding a little flare to the place wouldn't be such a bad idea.
We've got quite a bit of room to work with, so I'm open to ideas!
Wooden dummies :)
the wooden man!! trapping will make a nasty armdrag game possible and is sick for learning to strike and counter, daaaaaaammmnn gotta get one in mine now! congrats brother on the upgrade hope you do well:)
medicine balls are always good. Super versatile
All you need is mats, the affliation, and asolid group of dudes. The rest you can add as you go along. Dont go crazyand drop tons of cash unless you are independantly wealthy. Trust me all you need is mats. Dont forget in your bigger space your utilities will go up an depending on you lease you may have tax, cam, etc. Good shit brotha!
A good timer! This one is nice and it is on sale. :cool:

A full size cage has been one of our best assets :)

Let me know when you guys are all set up, I'd love to visit :)
Don't bother with stripper poles, trust me :)
A store that sells protein power, alpha brain shroom tech sport, rash guards...
If you do throws a crash mat is nice to have.
And a woden man like the one from master of disguise.
But they would serve great for after class Meetings and special events :)Quote:

Appreciate the input, we've never had this much space to work with before. And we've been a firm believer in just mats and a good group for quite a while, I think it's only fair to the team to have a little more to offer. Has anyone tried sandbag workouts - And would you recommend them? We're playing around with the idea of some sort of half cage set up as well. Anybody know of a cost efficient way to have one of those? Or did you guys just spend the money?
That'd be awesome Adlai! Sure we'd love to have you up here for a seminar sometime as well! :)Quote:

Like the wrecking ball idea, what about Crash mats for practicing tosses? Do you guys feel they get enough use?
We use ours, and a must for any Judo/Sambo, Wrestling and MMA program. But the use is low to moderate frequency for us.
Right on - Thx Zog, Recommend getting everything from anywhere affordable?Quote:

Kettlebells are a sick workout, I also like the suggestion of stability balls, medicine balls, jump ropes, maybe a tire and sledgehammers, extra bags for ground and pound, a ring or cage is always sick.Quote:

Ok, we have the Monster truck tires, sledgehammers and all that good stuff. - I probably won't go through Tiffin then if they're making things a hassle.
