Martial fitness for women combining strength, mobility, cardio, partner exercises and movements inspired by self-defence.
Self Fit is a martial fitness session for women, led by Adrià Cros at Club de judo de Barr.
Training mainly uses bodyweight, gravity, movement and partner exercises. Some movements may draw on self-defence situations, ground work, holds or grappling, without turning the session into a combat class.
The aim is to steadily develop fitness, mobility, coordination, cardio and strength while exploring movements and reflexes drawn from different martial arts.
Sessions may include exercises for the legs, glutes, core, footwork and posture, as well as partner drills that vary the effort and keep the practice enjoyable.
Self Fit is separate from the club's adult physical conditioning session: it is a dedicated class focused on martial fitness and self-defence.
No previous martial arts experience is required. Exercises progress gradually and can be adapted to each participant. Comfortable clothing that allows free movement is recommended.
