Talking about those who’ve been in street fights, war or trained some form of serious combat system, fought professionally etc.
Doing judo for 2 months doesn’t count.
One of my main goals is peak functional fitness and combat/survival abilities.
Fighting, running, carrying heavy bagpacks, parkour/climbing, crawling through a pipe, stuff like that.
I am eyeing Spartan Apex and Survival Aegis.
What are your thoughts/experiences?
For fitness you could try emperor fitness. I’d say it’s a staple when it comes to that stuff.
Throw in Muay Thai Mastery X, even if you aren’t interested in training that. It has a lot of combat scripting that can be used in any situation. Also has stuff on reflexes, strength of strikes, etc.
I’ve thought about Muay Thai, but I’ll only have one spot available to fill with a fitness/fighting title.
Maybe I should consider a custom with these cores…
In that case, your original plan sounds good. Honestly, you might want to consider making a custom with Spartan Core and Survival Core, along with athletic boosters (like the SPS series), a status module or two and stuff like Fearsome. Might be more time efficient.
Maybe Paragon Sleep on the side. Paragon for healing. Can use stack rotation on Paragon, so you can rotate it out for something else.
I’ll consider a custom, maybe trying the titles out upfront to get a feel for them first.
Thank you👍
I have Diamond and love it. Seriously I been to martial arts since childhood so I learned different version of the arts. Some are good for shows, few are perfect for combat. I am a Krav Maga instructor for a long time. When you’re been for a long time you cannot call it that “art” anymore, maybe “mixed” and not even sports, because sports means it follows the rules (for safety).
If you decide to enlist don’t learn other combat skills or you get kick.
I would choose this | Emperor Fitness SUPREME
Luckily I’m not about to enlist, so I can choose my system freely, but yeah it goes in a militant direction.
I’ve trained a bit of Red Zone and our instructor was constantly talking down on Krav.
“Here we only use what actually works guys, we aren’t doing fancy Krav Maga” lol.
But what I’ve seen online about KM usually looks good, considering taking either classes in KM or some ground/stand-up mix like BJJ/Boxing…
Diamond? lol why did you mention that 
Holy shit, this thread just made me realize that Aegis: Survival Instinct would be a perfect core in a Muay Thai custom alongside MTMX for sparring and actual fights. Feels like it’s the missing piece I always had in all of my MT customs.
Shame I don’t make any nowadays as I don’t train MT as religiously as I once did. Maybe @Yazooneh might be open to trying this experiment? What’s your opinion bro?
I’m training for petitioned ring fighting so there’s way better side programs i think are better for my situation
I’m finding mind’s eye and the ability to visualize yourself fighting to be the best complement so far
I have a follow-up question for you.
You are definitely significantly more experienced than your typical beginner fighter looking to eventually get their first amateur fights going (myself for example); in that type of context, do you believe that Survival Instinct with MTMX would add significant value in improving a beginner’s nerves and instincts in the ring for their first fights?
Definitely yes. I believe so.
I myself took the immortal’s courage route for three cycles in my custom and making it to my QTkS custom and it’s been doing wonders for that one reason.
I’m ready to take on the world, and win; formerly some sort of shock would always hit me at the fact I have my eyes set so high but now no
I trained to be a cage fighter with Rex Kwon Do. Does that count as combat?
It’s a metaphor. In bed you need Diamond.
Yeah, Rex Kwon Do much advanced than Jeet Kun Do, fearsome than Mortal Kombat or Tekken 
I just remember the movie Fighter in the Wind and Blood Sport.
Cage fighter is a CQB, it usually involves weapons.
That is true, not fancy because Krav Maga don’t give you a stance that everyone would appreciate. In real combat you don’t need to show your stance to an enemy who is perfectly prepared to kill you.
Glad to say I’ll have my first session at saturday.
Sounds like a great combo. Honestly, I sincerely believe that
Fitness is an underrated component of martial arts. A ton of martial artists like to believe their “prowess” will save them in a conflict. When in real life and even in tournaments/ competitions, being stronger, faster matter. Hell, cardio matters more than skill in a lot off cases.
I think the goal should staying safe first and foremost, SECONDLY neutralizing the opponent.
I know I’m really late, but anybody with similar goals can feel free to try this combo. Possibly adding HERO or Emperor Fitness depending on their goals
