On October 22nd, Mike Gentile will be making his first professional MMA appearance at DESERT RAGE X: Battle in Paradise. Mike will be squaring off against Kelvin Gastelum at the 185 lb weight limit. Preparation has gone quite well in the last few months and were looking forward to a good showing by Mr. Gentile. [...]

The Donkey Kong is a functional training exercise for the more advanced fitness enthusiast. When I do get a client or athlete to a high level, this definitely becomes a go to in my book to challenge flow, explosiveness, timing, coordination, center of gravity and anaerobic threshold. Although there’s probably not a muscle on the [...]

I have been working with Myles Jury for the last few months and most of our training has revolved around rehabilitating a torn acl. We have incorporated several Myofascial Release techniques along with corrective exercises and stretches to help correct the imbalances leading to that knee injury. Since everything has been so progressive in the [...]

Here’s the latest video in Jeremy Stephen’s athletic efficiency training. We have still been working some kinks out, but have been very progressive over the last few weeks. Jeremy will be fighting Anthony Pettis on october 8 at UFC 136. Stay tuned!!!

Due to the nature of life, training and fighting had to get postponed for a little bit, however, we are back on track and ready to get this train rolling. I’m fired up and Mr. Gentile is fired up. Expect to see a scrap late september!!! Stay tuned!!!

For the last few weeks in Dean Lister’s MMA functional training regimen, I have been focusing on developing a structural foundation to work from. Before we get into his boxing or any MBM’s, its important to implement structural alignment to make sure we don’t build upon dysfunction. Luckily most of the movements we do happen [...]

It’s been a process having to correct all the imbalanced movements Dean Lister has developed over the course of his career, but I will say that his functional training regimen is coming together quite smoothly. The main setback we have had in his training is covering the aspect of weight distribution. Throughout my career, I [...]

A torn Bicep, Subscapularis, Supraspinatus, Labrum, ACL (both of them), as well as many other injuries is what I have to work around with Dean Lister. As a result of so many years of wear and tear being placed upon his body, he has innately learned how to overcompensate movement with many inefficient muscles. Am [...]

We are about 11 weeks out until Jeremy Stephens and Anthony Pettis clash at UFC 136 in Houston, TX. Been focusing much on technique and body alignment through movement and have had some serious progress. Still not there, but will be by October. Great Job Mr. Stephens!!!

It’s been an amazing last few months getting to work with Mike Gentile. Working with the guy has helped me evolve my craft to a point I couldn’t have imagined before. Excited for August 21st!!! Stay tuned

Been working diligently on leverage while doing movement. I must say I’m starting to feel this guy’s strikes land harder and crisper every day we train. His obsessiveness with improving his body dynamics is allowing us to take some major steps forward. Great work Mike!!!
