Yes, you are right when you say that flexibility and endurance is important to.
I am 46 off age now and I practice martial arts from the age off 15.
Right now I am always flexible, I mean, when I want I can kick high and I am more limber than all the students I have (and they are a lott younger).

I dont train that much for flexibility, just a few stretches true the day and before a workout.

And for cardio I like to do the all-round-fighting tape from Bas Rutten.
And I can tell you if you do all the rounds with all the strength and intensity that you have, you almost dead after completing that tape.
So I think cardio is good to.

What I like about Crossfit is that they do all kinds off exercises, everyday a different workout. Sometimes a combination off push-ups, pull-ups, squats and sometimes training with weights.
The routines are not to long so its easy to do and still have time for martial arts training.

I have started the Dinosaur training from Brook Rubik.
I like this workout a lott, gives a lott off strength, but I dont know if you can combine it with martial arts training because you have to train very heavy. When you do only that routine that is not a problem.
It is, I think, when you want to do other stuff to (like skipping rope, martial arts training etc.) because these trainings are heavy to.

So I dont know if thats good for my body.
Maybay you have a idea about that?
I was reading a quote off (I think) Bas Rutten when he says that everybody is talking about the risk off overtraining but nobody over the risk off undertraining.

I like that quote but I dont want to do so much that after a few weeks I got burn-out.

If you mean me - my training log is in my head. But I generally stick to:

Monday: Brisk 1 mile walk (to work) / Brisk 1 mile walk (from work)/ BJJ class 1-2 hours / Bike 35 minutes.

Tuesday: Brisk 1 mile walk (to work)/ Weight lifting (upper body, abs and leg work) / Ashtanga Yoga 1 hour/ Bike 35 minutes.

Wednesday: Brisk 1 mile walk (to work)/ Brisk 1 mile walk (from work)/ Bike 35 minutes.

Thursday: Brisk 1 mile walk (to work)/ Brisk 1 mile walk (from work)/ BJJ class 1 hour / Bike 35 minutes.

Friday: Brisk 1 mile walk (to work)/ Weight lifting (upper body, abs and leg work) / Brisk 1 mile walk (from work).

Saturday: Rest

Sunday: Abs

Lokate I am not that familiar with Brook Rubik or Bas Rutten, but imo as a general rule you should decide what you want your training for - strength, agility, martial arts, etc. and concentrate on what you will need and cut out what you don't need.

Yes I mean you. I am curious because grapplers tend to be in better all-around condition as far as a combo of strength and stamina than most athletes.
