Funk's Fight Club Workout

As you may know, I love MMA, especially Muay Thai. I also love the training that goes along with it. Because it takes me through diverse training techniques, I always seem to get the greatest fat loss and strength from the workouts. I have seen many body transformations from women and men who incorporate these types of exercises into their workout regime.

Funk Roberts Fight Club Workout

1. BOX JUMPS onto a high object (aerobic step to level 10 or picnic table) – 3 sets of 15 – rest 1 minute
2. KETTLEBELL CLEAN AND PRESS – 3 SETS OF 10 PER SIDE - rest 30 seconds
3. KETTLEBELL RENEGADE ROWS - 3 SETS OF 10 PER SIDE – rest 30 seconds

You can adjust your reps on dips and pull ups to failure; and if you do not own Kettlebells, use Dumbbells.

BENEFITS OF MUAY THAI BOXING

This is the real deal! The extreme workout! Thai Kickboxing, also known as Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand. Although many people think of Thai boxing as the toughest and most physically demanding ring sport in the world, it is also excellent for street self-defence, ladies.

Many UFC and PRIDE fighters are now learning Muay Thai due to its effectiveness and the ability to utilize the techniques in Mixed Martial Arts competitions.

With Muay Thai you utilize you hands, legs, knees and elbows. It is deadly, but so much fun. Your training usually includes shadow boxing, heavy bag work, Thai pads, focus mitts and belly pads to teach you the right way to kick, knee, and punch and elbow with full power and precision.

Training also includes boxing techniques like jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, spinning back fists, combinations, slipping, sticking, moving, footwork, clinching and stand-up grappling.

Funk is back in the ring and now training at The Mixed Martial Arts Athletic Club which is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at 271 Broadview just north of Dundas.

The club offers, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Women, Youth and Kids classes, which are taught by some of the world’s best instructors.

MMA Club also has the Muay Thai Kickboxing Challenge.

This is a Monday and Wednesday boot camp style class that will get you into shape and ready for the beach. Remember it's never too late to get started. The circuit takes 60 min and runs from 630 PM to 830 PM. Join in at any time. No experience necessary.

I invite you to try Muay Thai, whether through group classes, one on one, or boot camp. Come and train with Funk Roberts at the MMA Athletic Club

MMA CHAMPION WORKOUT

With UFC 85 around the corner, I thought I would answer a question I get asked quite often. How should an aspiring MMA fighter weight train? I am no MMA superstar, but I have entered the Muay Thai ring and wrestled a few freaks in the past.

An MMA fighter should not lift with the same frequency and intensity as a bodybuilder does. You would never be able to recover from your workouts if you did because of all the training an MMA fighter already has to go through, i.e. sparring drills, mat work and cardio.

Working out with weights twice a week will help to create and larger and stronger athlete. I recommend to the MMA hopeful that they train with free weight and kettlebells. By using free weights you will increase your range of motion, and be able to control and stabilize your body for the fight.

Here is a weight routine that can make up an entire weight program for a fighter.
Program for the MMA Fighter

1. Squats – 3 sets 15, 12, 10 reps (quads, hams, calves)
2. Bench Press – 3 sets 15, 12, 10 reps (chest, shoulders, triceps)
3. Two Handed Kettlebell Swing - 3 sets 20 swings (shoulders, back, quads, biceps, triceps)
4. Kettlebell Snatch –3 sets 10 snatches each arm (shoulders, back, quads, biceps, triceps)
5. Power Clean 3 sets of 10 (whole body)
6. Chin Ups 3 sets to failure (back, biceps)
