Takamura is Kamogawa Gym's pride a world champion across multiple weight classes. His program is serious, structured, and demands the dedication of someone who genuinely wants to be the best.
Every phase, every session, every exercise — expand a day to see the full prescription.
The full five-day range, establishing technique under real load (target RIR 3).
Heavier loads, denser explosive conditioning. Target RIR 2.
Conditioning, Upper Strength, Lower Explosive Strength, Explosive Conditioning, and Full Body.
Dense, explosive strength — a natural puncher's build, not a marathon runner's.
Real strength on the compound lifts plus genuine explosive power in every pushing and jumping movement.
Barbell lifts use double progression. Explosive bodyweight work uses density progression. Target RIR drops from 3 to 2 across the two phases.
Takamura is a genius puncher — explosive natural power, not a grinder's roadwork-first identity. This program leans into that directly: heavy compound strength and real explosive power, the opposite emphasis from Ippo's own program.
