PROTOCOL 1: Alactic Hypoxic Power Intervals Purpose: Maintain power output under oxygen debt (round-opening exchanges, scrambles) Structure - 6–10 rounds - 10–15 sec all-out effort (sled push, bike sprint, med ball slam, pad flurry) - Immediately post-effort:→ Max breath hold after exhale (passive) - Recovery: Walk + nasal breathing until breathing normalizes (~60–90 sec) Coaching cues - Relax the face and jaw - No panic—calm through discomfort - Quality > volume Progression - Add rounds before adding intensity - Cap breath holds at ~45–60 sec (no forcing) PROTOCOL 2: Glycolytic Fight-Round Hypoxia Purpose: Tolerate acid + CO₂ at altitude (mid-round fatigue) Structure - 3–5 × 3–5 min rounds - Continuous work (pads, bag, grappling circuits) - Every 30–45 sec:→ 5–10 sec breath hold on exhale, then resume work Between rounds - Nasal breathing only - Hands overhead or walking slowly Progression - Shorten rest before rounds - Increase breath-hold frequency slightly PROTOCOL 3: Post-Round CO₂ Tolerance Reset Purpose: Faster recovery between rounds at altitude Immediately after a hard round - 3–5 cycles: 4 sec nasal inhale 6–8 sec slow nasal exhale 10–15 sec breath hold on exhale This teaches control when oxygen is limited and heart rate is high. PROTOCOL 4: CNS + Parasympathetic Anchor (Low Stress Days) Purpose: Improve hypoxic tolerance without beating them up Supine or seated - 5–8 rounds: 4 sec nasal inhale 8 sec nasal exhale Max comfortable breath hold (post-exhale) Stop if dizziness or panic appears. WEEKLY IMPLEMENTATION (Fight Camp) - 2x/week: Protocol 1 or 2 (high intensity days) - 2–3x/week: Protocol 4 (warm-up or cooldown) - Always: Nasal breathing emphasis between rounds KEY SAFETY RULES (IMPORTANT) - No breath holds during explosive movement - All holds after exhale - Stop if: Dizziness Tunnel vision Loss of motor controL

I come from a line of survivors. My ancestors crossed vast oceans with nothing but courage, instinct, and the will to endure. Their strength flows in my blood, their resilience lives in my bones. The weak fall to the side, but I was not shaped to falter. I was forged by generations who refused to break. I rise because they rose. I endure because they endured. I adapt. I advance. I overcome. Their journey brought me here, and I will honour them with victory.
