We all know that the best fighters have the best bodies. They are finely honed weapons that their owners have refined and trained over the years by putting them through the most explosive, intense, and grueling combat training in the world. Now, LES MILLS is bringing you a combat training system that will leave you just as ripped and tough as the leanest and meanest fighter around!

LES MILLS COMBAT is an explosive blend of mixed-martial arts that will help you achieve incredible results in only sixty days. Based on the BODYCOMBAT class that is taught in gyms in over 80 countries, this workout is combined with pulse pounding music, world class trainers, and absolutely stunning results.

Your  workouts will be led by two genuine martial art experts: Dan Cohen is a blackbelt in Lau Gar Chinese boxing and kickboxing, and won the 1996 British Masters kickboxing championship. Rachel Newsham has studied at the Wing Chun Kung Fu school, and done muay thai training in Thailand. These experts have carefully worked out a series of classes that take the best from all their combined knowledge, and pooled it into one amazing workout.

Combined, they are going to bring you a genuinely challenging mix of kicks, strikes, blows, and punches that will develop your agility, coordination, muscle speed, and endurance. You’ll torch calories both during and after your workout, as well as improving your core strength, stability, posture, and self-confidence. How will this all happen? By building lean muscle mass and incinerating fat simultaneously!

What Makes COMBAT So Great?

To put it simply: Fast Twitch Integration Training. By taking two martial arts experts, they  have combined the very best and hardest techniques from tae kwon do, boxing, karate, capoeira, jiu-jutsu, and muah thai/kickboxing to deliver burning, explosive moves that work in intense patterns and combinations. The result is that your fast-twitch muscle fibers get activated and then boosted, which will burn tons of calories while taking your strength to the next level and helping you get maximum definition!

Why Is It So Unique?

By combining the most challenging aspects of six different martial art systems into one seamless whole, the creators of  COMBAT have synthesized the most intense and transformative elements of each combat style into a unique workout that will deliver the best elements of each. This works because each move, each pattern is based around the idea of delivering an extreme charge to your fast-twitch muscle fibers, boosting their size and effectiveness, leading to a rapid change in your body composition. Tested around the world as the BODYCOMBAT system, this workout program is tried, verified, and proven to work by millions of gym-goers!
