The Combat Athlete Program
Train Smarter, be better. Beat the competition.
Australia’s unparalleled program for combat athletes who want nothing but the best for their training.
Our Coaches Have Worked With:
Do you feel confident that you’re truly working harder & smarter than your competition?
Most combat athletes aren’t aware of a KEY factor when it comes to their training & performance.
It’s this ONE THING that robs so many of what they’re truly capable of.
Most Combat Athletes Will Fall Well Short of Their Full Potential. But It’s Not Their Fault…
You see when it comes to the training that most athletes are doing, they are simply missing the mark. And to us, this is a BIG DEAL!
When describing the mantra that combat most athletes have when they train in this day and age, it can be pretty easily summed up by a few basic popular adages: “Go Hard or go home”, “Grind over everything”, “No Pain, No Gain”. They want to outwork the competition, but in the process, often end up overworking themselves. Sure they train hard, but do they always train smart?
Have you ever considered that maybe trainer harder isn’t the answer?
In modern combat sports, injury rates are higher than they’ve ever been. There’s only so much work an athlete can put in before the body simply can’t adapt anymore. We see fancy training schemes that allow combat athletes to be training more than ever, yet only a lucky few seem to be truly benefitting from this. At Ethos, we want to help shed some light on these crucial mistakes the combat industry is making, so that we can ensure you’re one of the 1% who reaches their true genetic potential.
Athletes are making mistakes in 3 key ways
Not planning for the long term
For most athletes, this key mistake is what stops them from ever reaching their full potential.
But it’s not all their fault.
It can be easy to get caught up in trying to go hard each session. In wanting short term results. When you focus on only winning every single time you step into a session, you forget the key elements of training. Of actually getting better. This is especially true with sporting coaches & clubs. They want to get the most out of their athlete in each session they have with them.
Yet when you look to the best athletes in the world, the Olympians & World Champions you see a consistent ETHOS of training, built up over years. They say it takes 10,000 hours on average to become an expert in any area. When it comes to athletes, these 10,000 hours are usually spread over 10-20 years. Long term planning helps an athlete to make sure they build things the right way. And that’s why Ethos knows we will be able to guarantee you achieve your own version of greatness when working with us.
Under-recovery is one of the biggest dangers for an athlete’s long term success.
When an athlete doesn’t give themselves the appropriate stimulus & time for recovery, they severely limit their ability to get results. What’s more is that they also significantly increase their chances of injury, running the gauntlet each time they train or perform.
When we think session to session or work with multiple coaches, under-recovery is almost guaranteed. Often, one coach has no idea what other training their athlete is doing resulting in lots of poor quality training & poor quality results. This poor quality of training is the thing that kills long term athletic performance & stops athleticism dead in its tracks.
The key to avoiding this is to have a consistently changing approach to your training. You need varied stimuli. Peaks and troughs. Time to go hard & time to pull back. That’s why we put a premium on testing and scheduling at Ethos.
They say what gets measured gets managed & that’s how we approach each week. We make sure that whatever you’re doing is perfectly calculated to help you achieve the long term goal you’re ultimately aiming for.
2. Not Allowing For Enough Recovery.
3. Not working at the specific level that is right for them.
When it comes to elite performance, we need to understand our strengths & weaknesses.
We need to know where we’re at right now and what we need to do to get to where we want to go.
Our current ‘Instagram’ culture can cause us to want us to invest in the wrong things with our training. It tends to lead us down the path of unnecessary comparison. It’s not fair to compare ourselves to other athletes. We’re all at different levels. Progress is best measured in months & years, as opposed to days & weeks.
When an athlete can accept their reality & comprehensively understand where they’re at, that’s when they start to notice real progress. They’re not worried about what anyone else is doing, because they know that what they’re doing right now is exactly what they need at this moment, in helping them to reach their ultimate athletic dream. That’s the Ethos way.

At the top of the top, it’s about believing you're at your absolute best. About having the mental edge. Working with Ethos, you’ll be able to experience this for yourself.
