Module 3

The distinct
nature of
combative arts.

Overview

Module
content.

In this module of the Combat Sport Coach certification program, you will take a detailed look at the specifics of combative arts, stemming from their strictly interpersonal and threat with harm nature, which are uncharacteristic of other sports. Discover how the intrusion level, intensity, and complexity determine the most suitable mental design for excelling at them. You’ll also learn how to evaluate the best fighter-art fit based on explicit measures and how to workaround when the fit is not ideal.

You’ll be guided through the internal processes of a combat sport competition to understand what is happening in your fighters. You will leave this module with deep understanding and an assessment tool for combat athletes.

The edge

This module
gives you.

#1

Being an expert in combat sports.

This module crystallizes your understanding of the difference between general sports and combative arts, making you a field expert with support potential that far surpassing that of a general sports coach.

#2

Raise your club to pro level.

A new era is starting when using the explicit measures provided by the module, eliminating guesswork and harsh debates. In an industry where everyone else tries to navigate by gut and goes defensive when wrong, you’ll be the pro with evidence.

#3

Guide clients to winning.

The output of your clients will skyrocket when you replace general sports coaching with coaching based on combat principles. The impact of such pinpoint support is rapid and unmatched.

Frequently
asked
questions.

Are previous studies required to understand the materials?

The course does not require prior formal education. The materials are tailored to be graspable for people with different educational backgrounds, providing clear explanations of complex concepts.

 

However, it is necessary to have experience in combative arts, preferably with several years of training history, to maximize your learning gain. Having competition experience also can provide valuable context for your studies.

 

This course is strongly specialised in the context of fight sports, it does not replace training experience nor does it provide full context on sports in general. The focus of the program is to give practical, niche specific knowledge for those coming from general training, sport psychology or personal combat experience to be able to pave the path of winning for their clients.

Is there a time limit for completing the lessons?

There is no set time limit for completing the lessons. The average time a learner spends on a module is typically one week, within which the individual lessons may take longer or shorter depending on the amount of reflection required.

 

The aim is to incorporate the new knowledge, with the aid of video summaries, readings, downloadable infographics, and key point slides. It’s important to revisit them as much as necessary, as the module exam assesses applied understanding of the material rather than lexical knowledge of theories.

Do I have to complete all the modules to receive the certification?

Yes, the certification as a Combat Sport Coach is granted only after all the modules have been completed and each exam has been passed. The completion of individual modules is recognized by the issuing of a certificate of module completion.

Can I get a refund for the modules?

There is a 14-day no-question-asked money back guarantee for all courses on the platform, including individual modules and complete course packages. The guarantee ends when the learner takes the exam, including the exam preparation phase of a module. Once either the exam or exam preparation has been started, refunds are no longer available.

How long does it usually take to complete a module?

The average time a learner spends on a module is typically one week, but modules that contain more difficult concepts can take longer to grasp and prepare for the exam. It is uncommon, however, to spend more than 2-3 weeks on a module, unless personal circumstances arise. In case of a longer pause, make sure to refresh your learning by starting the module from the beginning as the content usually builds on earlier introduced concepts.

What is the typical time it takes to achieve certification?

The average time it takes to achieve certification is around 3 months. While the course can be completed in 8-10 weeks, learners tend to dedicate more time to exam preparation and reflection. It is not uncommon to take a brief break after 3-4 modules or halfway to recharge batteries. This is perfectly acceptable, as certification may not always be the main objective. Those who enrol in specific modules exclusively for the practical knowledge on that topic have the option not to proceed toward the full course completion.

Do I need to take the modules in the order they are listed?

The modules can be taken in the order that is most suitable for your personal circumstances. It’s up to you to enrol to whichever is necessary to effectively coach your current clients or address the most your current needs.

What happens if I fail all three exam attempts?

Failing all three exam attempts will require repurchase of the module.

 

The Combat Sport Coach certification course is built to ensure a credible educational path that distinguishes its graduates from the rest for being highly refined, emphatic, and particularly efficient. Accordingly, the exams are complex, have high benchmarks, and target the ability to apply knowledge instead of collecting theories.

 

If you’re not able to dedicate enough time to the course material, it’s advisable to take a brief break rather than attempting an exam without preparation. After the second failed attempt (in case of high risk of repeated fail, after the first one), you have the option to request a support call with one of the course leaders to uncover the challenges and help you find the best way to prepare for a successful exam.

Can I work as a trainer with this certification?

This certification is not a replacement for trainer qualifications, but rather a complement to them to enhance your support potential in fight contexts. To become a trainer, there are other courses better equipped to provide basic physical and nutrition knowledge.

 

If you look to enhance your trainer skills, the final module of this course can give you the combat relevant edge as it focuses on conditioning and provides contemporary training plans built specifically to combat athletes.

I am already certified as a sport psychologist. Is there any overlap between this course and the university curriculum?

The content of this course and sport psychology courses has very little overlap. As sport psychology is mostly concerned with group dynamics and non-threatening games where very different psychological processes dominate the outcome.

 

As a result, while some of the terms may be familiar, this course is not an equivalent of sport psychology courses, but rather provides further specialisation for those who have chosen combat sports as their niche. The course content revolves specifically around the deep interpersonal dynamics and distinct psychology of fight contexts, which is largely beyond the scope of sport psychology educational paths.
