Our own Morrison Butler with Jorge Gurgel at JG MMA in Cincinnati

It’s funny how the world is indeed a small place…
Some time ago, Morrison was running the KnuckleUp gyms in Atlanta, and basically ruling the MMA scene down there.
In one of their shows, he met Jorge Gurgel, who’s not only a great fighter, but a successful gym owner as well (over 12 affiliated clubs across the US).
Fast forward to last September – one of Morrison’s former KnuckleUp colleagues moves to Cincinnati to take the Sales Manager position at … Jorge Gurgel MMA Academy!
Of course, while in Ohio, Morrison went to Jorge’s school and took some pictures for us. He managed to get with UFC headliner Rich Franklin (who’s Jorge’s BFF – according to Jorge), and had a pretty tough training session there.
The cool thing is that JG MMA is now implementing KnuckleUp’s kickboxing classes into their MMA program in Cincinnati […]

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
