Training Principles
1. Explosive Close-Quarters Power
Tifa dominates at close range with high-speed strikes and punch combos. Her training calls for dynamic upper-body explosiveness and fast-twitch reaction.
In Practice:
You’ll use explosive pushups, dumbbell punches, and plyometric push movements to develop strike velocity and combo readiness.
2. Agility and Evasion
She moves like a shadow—light on her feet, fast to react. Agility training builds her ability to dodge, shift, and reposition in real time.
In Practice:
You’ll train with jump rope footwork, lateral bounds, sprint resets, and change-of-direction drills to mirror her evasion style.
3. Core-Driven Combat Flow
Tifa’s combos start from her center. That core power is what allows her to strike, rotate, reset, and stay grounded.
In Practice:
Expect hanging knee raises, rotational Russian twists, and dynamic plank work to build midline control for striking and absorbing force.
4. Lean Muscle with Functional Strength
Tifa is strong, but never bulky. Her strength is built for motion, not posing—lean muscle optimized for performance.
In Practice:
You’ll combine bodyweight dips, dumbbell pressing, and tempo-focused supersets to train strength, tone, and endurance together.
5. Combat Conditioning
Martial artists fight in bursts. Tifa’s workouts end with circuits that simulate that kind of effort—short rest, high movement density.
In Practice:
You’ll use burpees, jump rope sprints, kettlebell swings, and mountain climbers as finishers to sharpen your fighter’s engine.
