WHAT IS SAM?
SAM is short for Strength and Mobility.
Athletes with low SAM are most likely to struggle in kata and kumite and functional self defense applications.
Symptoms include loss of balance, difficulty transitioning between positions, fatigue, bad form, and lack of explosive power or focus (kime).
To compensate, our bodies “correct” the movement by sacrificing technique and form, which is the cause of bad habits, ineffective technique and injury.

Movement Orientated
Flexibility and Mobility exercises are movement oriented. Losening up stiff joints will increase the range of motion needed to perform at your full potential.
50 Exercises
50 Exercises split into two groups, 25 stationary (moving on the spot) and 25 spacial (moving from one place to another).
No Stretching
You will not find traditional stretching here, although it has its time and place, you will be focusing on movements that challenge your body's full joint mobility in all planes of motion, that translates to higher kicks, deep stances and smooth transitions .
