🥊 FIGHT WEEK BODYWORK 🥊
Today I was working with as we get his body prepared for his fight this Thursday.
We focused on sports massage and cupping, targeting areas of tension and restriction from the demands of his training camp.
Sports massage to help reduce muscular tension, support circulation, recovery, and improve mobility , all valuable when preparing for the demands of a fight.
While the cups were in place, I had Stuart moving through specific movements. Combining the cups with movement allows us to work with the tissues while the body is actively moving, rather than simply keeping him still on the table.
Wednesday morning we do KCR the day before his fight.
For a boxer, having the body working efficiently as a connected kinetic chain is important. Boxing involves the whole body — power starts from the ground, travels through the legs and hips, through the core and into the shoulders, arms and hands.
KCR is a sequence of mobilisations and stretches designed to support the body and realign the kinetic chain.
For a boxer, this is particularly important because boxing is a full-body movement. Power and movement travel through the body from the feet, through the legs and hips, into the core, shoulders and arms.
When the kinetic chain is working efficiently, the different parts of the body can work together as they should. This is important for movement, rotation, footwork, balance and the ability to generate and transfer power through punches.
Doing KCR the day before the fight is about supporting Stuart’s body and getting his kinetic chain prepared, so he can step into the ring feeling mobile, connected and ready to perform.
Stuart is currently 7-0 as a professional and is the Scottish & Commonwealth Youth Welterweight Champion, on Thursday evening he fights In Glasgow at the Raddison Blu To defend his Scottish title.
Tickets for his fight are available if anyone’s interested in going please message him directly.
