Ive been competing in MMA and Jiu Jitsu for over 20 years, anytime I've been at a competition and a competor from The Academy shows up they've been dominant, I'd always wondered why. Ive been training at The academy for 6 weeks now and I now know why. Typically in training you do cardio for 10min, then learn technique for 30min, then roll for 20min. At The Academy the instructor gives you an overview of the technique, its always a real world technique that is applicable to submit someone, then you break into pairs and go at 80% taking turns to use the technique for 6 minutes, you do this 6 different times in one training session, so 6 six minute rounds. Its absolutely exhausting but its incredible. I now know why The Academy pumps out such good fighters, because they train for the real world, when you are done a competition of 3, three minute rounds would be like a walk in the park.
