Training

[Guest]

Do your Fighters pop quicker if you train secondaries and primaries that are related to eachother.

 

For example is it better to train your striking defence secondary with standup sparring as opposed to training striking defence with BJJ and wrestling

Yes that's true. You're correct.

No, doesn't matter what you train. However sparring, does add secs so boxing or MT will also add slightly to SD. But sparring boxing/MT doesn't make SD train faster when you doing SD sessions by itself persay (besides the little it adds to SD from the sparring).

[duphus]

That may not be clear so I'll try this different:

 

If you going to gain 5 points from a SD session, you will still only gain 5 points regardless whether you sparred boxing or MT. So say you gain 5 points per session of SD, so training all SD all week will net 5 x 14 sessions = 70 (just random numbers not accurate). If you take away 3 sessions for other training like sparring you now have a net gain of 55 (5 x11 sessions = 55), so if you sparred another prime like wrestling/BJJ then you only gained 55 in SD. If you sparred boxing or MT instead you may gain 1 point per session so you gained (55 SD sessions + 3 from 3 sparring sessions = 58.

 

Hope that makes more sense.

 

 

Now granted having a higher prime will allow secs to build faster as you always get gains in primes and secs regardless of which one you train. But when you train something say a sec, if the prime is low you gain a little more in the prime and less in the sec and vice versa.

generally for young fighters secondaries is better( you get more benefit) only if the coaching is not more then 2 fighters per coach and he is of good quality .I would avoid sparring unless the secondaries or over crowned

 

Sparring is better for older fighters hope this helps
