MMA ATHLETIC CLUB WORKOUT

Posted on October 28, 2010 by FunkRoberts

MMA CONDITIONING CIRCUIT WORKOUT

This was the workout one of my coaches, Eric Miller of MMA Athletic Club, put together as a warm up before Muay Thai Training session. I always suggest doing some functional strength and conditioning training before or after your MMA training sessions.

MMA Athletic Club is another place I am training for my Muay Thai Fight in Thailand. I get a lot of sparring and great technique and footwork training from Coach Eric. I have been training with Eric on and off for the past couple of years. MMA Athletic Club is located on Carlaw Ave in Toronto Canada. Come and train with me on Tuesday or Thursday nights (it changes for me)

The video is the final round of the circuit. There were four of us so 2 started at exercise 1 and the other 2 at exercise 4. IF you are a trainer or gym owner, this is a great exercise for you to use at your gym. Funk Tip: if you have 8 or more athletes at one time just have them at each station.
