Back by popular demand (and because the coach thinks it’s a good idea)

We are adding CF Striking training into our Warrior Strength-Cardio classes. We used this several years ago in our Tropical Trauma MMA conditioning classes. This fits well with our Adex mace and club exercises, Battling Ropes, etc. that are already part of the classes.
