What Makes It Different
The term functional training has expanded into ground-based “animal-movements,” which focus on joint function, core strength, and stability, similar to calisthenics. Functional movement training was designed to prevent injuries, enhance lower back and abdominal strength, and promote full joint mobility and stabilization. Its primary goal is to facilitate natural movement and restore the body’s intended range of motion.
The mission behind functional training is well-founded, as maintaining mobility and a healthy body is essential for everyone, not just athletes. For combat sports athletes, methods like animal movements can contribute to joint robustness and injury prevention.

By limiting exercise selection, HYROX reduces the learning curve and emphasizes conditioning over complex movements or heavy weights.
However, the issue lies not in the exercises themselves but in the structure of the training hence the need for Coaches who have Combat Sports background.
Balancing intensity and volume is crucial to avoid overtraining and ensure peak performance in competition.
The Gladiator programme at M1J14 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a fun and challenging workout based mainly on the Hyrox principle.
If you are looking for a programme to combine with your combat arts then the M1J14 Gladiator programme is for you!
