After reading about Coach Ilyadis, you may find yourself wondering “why should I choose a trainer with a martial arts background?”
The answer is simple—a deeper meaning of understanding the body.
Martial Arts has been around for endless millennia and has aided the progress and safety of modern civilization. Martial arts span from the Spartans in Greece, to classical martial art training in Asia (ranging from Japanese forms of karate and Chinese forms of kung fu).
Martial arts were originally developed to train soldiers against enemy armies and rebel uprisings. These ancient societies also developed a variety of combat sports, for example in ancient Greece, Pankration was an Olympic Sport which looked very similar to modern Mixed Martial Arts—just without as many rules. Oddly enough, we still utilize martial arts training in our own Military and Law Enforcement communities; the only difference is that we call them defensive tactics or rules of engagement.
Since then, Martial Arts has evolved and become part of many modern sports.
These sports are known for enhancing a variety of athletic skills and attributes including:
- Balance
- Speed
- Power Development
- Footwork
- Explosiveness
- Mindset
- Self Discipline
- Mental Toughness
- Evasive Skills
- Coordination
- Timing
- Offensive/Defensive Strategies and Tactics
- Hand Eye and Eye Foot Coordination
- Muscular Endurance
