lifting and injury prevention classes

source

For those of you who heard my podcast with MLG owner Andrew Flatz, lifting is a huge tool in the athletic injury prevention arsenal, thus Ortiz MMA has a couple of new things coming to Ortiz MMA. The first is that we are purchasing new weight training equipment. We are getting the Rogue Fitness top of the line equipment, more specifics later on. We are getting the equipment so that our students that don't have a gym membership have access to weights and become better.

Also, we will start offering weight training classes for those who don't have any experience lifting or weight training. They will be offered between the times of  5:00 AM for those early morning people through all the way to 7:00 PM for the people that just got off work. The classes will last an hour and thirty minutes each and they will be taught by our Power lifting specialist and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt Ernesto. The classes will start on Monday next week and the cost will be a $50 dollar fee added to your monthly subscribtion. Until then, keep doing what you are doing.

Ortiz MMA is proud of introducing a new caged octagonal ring in our facilities. we are happy to unveil this new product so that our students are able to know what it would feel like to be on a professional setting with a sparring partner in preparation for a fight. you can never have enough experience in close quarters in a fight. Thus here at Ortiz MMA decided that it was time to upgrade our gym in order to provide a more realistic fight environment.  thanks to our new cage, we will also be holding MMA tournaments in our gym to promote our fighters and get them where they want to be in the sport.

This Octagon is lock down and all set for throwing knockdowns and grappling matches. it has been designed by an all-star team of fighters, trainers and engineers that know what it’s like to be on the mats. for all of our heavy weights the cage has 8 red bumper pads anchored to the wooden base of the cage by 8 wooden fences and post strong enough to hold an elephant, so you guys are good to go. for our wrestlers, the surface is safe and soft so you won't get hurt rolling around in it.
