Tito Ortiz- Ultimate Fighting Champion's Secret Training Weapons Part 1
Tito's Dirty Little Secret To Kick Butt
If you're a fan of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), then chances are you've been following the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Tito Ortiz, who recently demolished Ken Shamrock, has come back on the fighting scene with a hard as a rock style of conditioning never seen before in the Octagon!
While many so called "champions" walk into the Octagon tough, they later blame their conditioning. In the fight against Matt Hughes it was evident that BJ Penn was not in shape. This one factor has cost many good fighters their titles recently.
Tito recently revealed his secret on the Ultimate Fighting show on Spike T.V.
Did you catch it?
What is Tito's secret weapon?
High Altitude Training
Boxers stumbled on to the secret years ago. So it should come as no surprise that Tito trains at Oscar DeLa Hoya's Camp.
If you live and train at high altitude for a minimum of 1 to 2 months you're body begins to adapt to the shortage of oxygen. The most important adaptation for the MMA athlete is an increase in the number of red blood cells, which are produced in response to greater release of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) by the kidneys.
Red cells carry oxygen from your lungs to your muscles. More red cells means your blood can carry more oxygen, which partly makes up for the shortage of oxygen in the air. So to compete in an MMA event, you should live and train at altitude for several weeks before the event.
But what about when you come back to sea level?
Will the extra blood cells supercharge your muscles with oxygen and push you along with greater endurance than ever?
That's exactly what happens.
Many athletes and coaches have generally accepted the idea that traditional altitude training--living and training high--benefits sea-level endurance performance.
In a recent discussion between four experts on altitude training for athletics, the average best altitude and best duration at altitude were 2200 m for 4 weeks.
These coaches also thought that the effects of altitude training were optimal 2 to 3 weeks after return from altitude. But, what produces the optimal endurance benefit? Live in high altitude and train in high altitude or live high and train in low altitude?
The results of some recent tests have revealed the best strategy and in part 2 I will answer that question for you.

How does training go for fighter pilots?
In what order does the pilot learn to be a fighter pilot? Learn to fly, learn low level flying, weapons training, survival training, dog fighting, things like that. And how does dogfighting training go? Does the pilot get basic fighter pilot training and then get picked to go to top gun later on in his career.
Different countries do it differently, but for the US armed services it works pretty much the same:
1- You are selected for fighters based on the "needs of the service", your desires/class standing, and opinion(s) of your instructors. Has nothing to do with your physical (it's the same for everyone), or "applying for fighters" as some folks seem to think. ALL studs are equal at the start of SUPT/SUNT.
2- Currently you "track" into what used to be "Fighter/Attack/Recce" but is now "Fighter/Bomber". This involves concentrating training on specifics for fighter-type assignments, saving time and money. It is in this track that one does SOME low-level flying, extensive formation work and other stuff that fighter guys do. AFA tactical low-level, keep in mind that the current tactic is a medium-altitude stand-off weapons delivery to stay out of AAA/MANPADS threat rings.
3- After graduation you go to survival, which is the same school for all crews (except cosmic guys like RC135 and some others). After survival, you go lead-in fighter training (LIFT) then to a Replacement Training Unit (RTU) for the USAF, and "Replacement Air Group" IIRC for the Navy/USMC. It's here you learn the basics of your weapon system, and tactical employment. DACT or whatever it's called this week begins here with training guys on how to EMPLOY the weapon vice just flying it. The flying piece is actually secondary-and that's part of the reason the selection process is fairly brutal-some guys just can't internalize all the stuff for actually flying the jet; they generally don't make good fighter pilots; ergo no point in spending money on them to get here and find out they can't hack it. GENERALLY.
4- After THAT, you'll finally get to your squadron, where yes, MORE training is in store for about a year-two years.
Weapon School/Top Gun is for instructor pilots/WSOs-EWOs who meet the minimum criteria-as Steven mentioned it's about 500 hours in the jet minimum, with so many hours as an IP/IWSO, plus x-combat hours, plus endorsements from your squadron and Wing commanders, etc etc. One may infer, accurately, that not everyone who applies gets to go. Graduates come back as the Weapons and tactics guys.
