Pat McNamara’s Trifection

Though Mac doesn’t write for us, Hilton and I are big fans of his training philosophy of using timed performance metrics as well as competition to sharpen mechanical skills and stress management. If you haven’t had a chance to train with him, go check out the TMACS website and find a class. If he doesn’t offer one in your area, don’t be shy about traveling.

Mac’s latest drill involves moving to expose an occluded target, and of course, a timer to measure your performance. Rather than try and explain it, I’ll just say: check out the video here:

  1. He’s … lively! He could also moonlight as a WWE “pro” wrestler. His training regimen must be quite strenuous, no joke.

    • I have got to train with this guy. I like his attitude. Looks like I’ll be taking a mini vacation.
      Thanks for the info.

    I’m going to have to first get in better shape before I go to one of his schools.
    I really like his philosophy . It’s real word. That’s all I can say.
    You guys got to check out his you tube.
    I can’t wait.

  3. Great job Pat!!! And same goes out to you guys for not being afraid to post other trainer’s out there in the combative field of training.More people have to take a stand to who is doing it right and who are doing wrong.

  4. I read his book, TAPS, and have become a fan of his no-nonsense approach to training. His drills are simple yet well thought out to emphasize essential skills. I am a fan, and also think I need to improve my stamina to attend and complete one of his classes.
