Last week I got a boat load of feedback from fighters and MMA practitioners about their experiences with the Ultimate MMA S&C program.
One email I got in particular piqued my curiousity…
The email came from someone named Ursula.
Turns out my Ultimate MMA S&C program was being used by a female mixed martial arts fighter in preparation for a fight, for the first time to my knowledge [if there are any other females out there using my program or who have used my program, hit me up].
Here’s the original email from MMA fighter Ursula Marshall, unedited, albeit for a few line breaks thrown in for readability:
“Hi, thank you so much for this fantastic program, I am now six weeks out from my next fight and have already seen results. I currently work at a MMA Centre in small town Whakatane, New Zealand (originally I’m from Nova Scotia).
It started out as a BJJ club a few years back in a little shed and is now a proper MMA Gym in which i found my dream job lol, I only started my martial art training 3 years ago and little did i know then it would become my life :-)… I have the benefit of pretty much living at the gym, and i was spending 3 to 4 hours 5 days a week on my strength and conditioning plus classes every night, it was leaving me constantly shattered.
I love that you breakdown the science behind the workout, it is easier to stick to the set schedule and rest properly when you know why you’re doing it. Although it’s hard not to jump on with the girls I’ve got onto it and do the work out way more than twice a week, I’ve been trying hard to stick to the schedule but I always do the back stretch and stability squat.
I really love that stability squat, I suffered a bad knee injury just under a year ago at my last/first fight(on you tube, search Tee vs Ursula you can hear my knee tear 4mins in) and my leg strength just hasn’t been the same since and doing those everyday has helped wake up some muscles that were insistent on sleeping.
I feel like I’m slacking because of how much I’ve cut out of my strength and conditioning but rolling last night I felt more solid than ever, even one of the guys I was rollin with noticed.
Thanks again for putting together such an amazing program I’ll let you know how my fight goes :)”

Of course I looked up her fight. You really can hear her knee pop at 4:00 in if you crank up the volume and listen closely. Click here to watch her scrap on YouTube.
I’d actually lost the original email she sent me, so asked her to resend it with any other additional feedback, which she provided here:
“I have much more energy for my classes at night now that I don’t spend hours and hours on conditioning, it leaves me more focused which helps in many ways. I also have more energy to get stuff done around the house which the other half appreciates lol…”
So that’s the Ultimate MMA S&C Program in a nutshell.
It improves your strength, conditioning, power and endurance, while taking less time than you expect and giving you more energy for your MMA training, or whatever other stuff you’ve gotta do.
If you’re not following the program, well, I don’t know why you wouldn’t.
