Client Success - Fat Loss, MMA, BMX & LIFE!!

I would like to talk about some of the success we have had at EHP with some of our EHP Tribal Clients.

********************
Cam Steer - Victory
********************
Won his MMA Fight at Fight Sports Night on Saturday March 13th 2010 via rear naked choke in 1st round.
********************
Phil Looney - Bugger
********************
Lost on the same card in a Thai fight on points decision, I've heard it was a real close fight!! Next time Phil, we'll close the deal :-)

********************
Jay Hepi - 13kg!!
********************
Has lost a total of 13kg since starting, we have hit a plateau at the moment however with regionals in Kapa Haka coming up, I'm sure that will be breaking through it!!

***************************
Shannon Alexander -
Smashes PB
in Dead lift by 15kg
********************
Shannon is the 4th female I've coached to dead lift 100kg, this is an awesome achievement since last year was her first year training EHP Style for BMX Strength & Conditioning!! Oh, she's only 14 & weighs 58kg!!!! I know, real cool!!!

See, females should lift heavy! :-)

********************
Kate Alford -
109km??
********************
Is competing in her first 109km bike race next week, so this will be interesting to hear how she goes in this journey, I'm sure she will make it look as easy as her 100kg dead lifts for reps!! :-)

****************
Denise -
New Dress
Size
****************
She has lost 5cm in 5wks ___________________ (the line represents 5cm) around her waist, that's 1cm a week!!

Here's how it looks for Denise in 5wks to get this awesome result with MORE TO COME!!

• Train 4x per week = 2 Metabolic Strength & 2 Metabolic Conditioning
• Record her Food
• Eat According to the 9 Habits of Fat loss
  
• Be Positive

1. She has missed 3 sessions over 5wks!!
2. Her eating is around 70% across 5wks compliant, we aim for 90%!
3. She's honest about what she eats & not ashamed of it i.e. Positive!
4. She's not afraid of "hard work"!
5. We've dramatically increased her Lean Body Mass i.e. Muscle! So her weight is the same BUT her clothes are a lot looser i.e. she's getting ready for new dress size :-)
   

******************
Conclusion
******************
To finish, I've posted the stuff we can "measure" the stuff you can't measure as well is confidence, life performance, belief systems, mindset, attitude etc... and these things mean more to me because these "life skills" are what determine your character as a human being and the impact you will have on others!

Thanks for reading have a great day and Kia Kaha = Be Strong....... In your training and in life EHP Tribe/Whanau!

Lastly, 3 EHP Clients are also completing the City 2 Surf this Sunday. Cam, Jack, Chris & Me (running with a pram). This is the first time we have put a EHP Tribal Team in the City 2 Surf, so looking forward to more!!

5 ways to make you lose your fight in the ring!

"Hurt in Practice so you don't Bleed in Battle"!

This has always been my motto when I started training fighters all those years ago and it stands to this day!!!

I've been training up and coming MMA star John Erskine who only lost his first fight in the weekend to a cut!

They say that John lost the first round on points and then "may" have won the 2nd before it was stopped to excessive blood from his cut! Well I saw his cut on Thursday and it was about 1cm long and looked nothing more then a little scratch!!

As they say, it must of hit a vein in his head because the pics I saw they were both covered in blood from it and John said it was pulsing out as soon as he "exerted" some serious force!

Sure enough, it had to be stopped!!

While this is John's first loss, in my mind he may have a L next to his record but everyone I've talked to said, it would of been a awesome 3rd round if it had gone to it because it was so even!!

So here's to a rematch I say and hopefully in Christchurch since both boys are from here.

I take my hat off to his opponent Garath, he looked in great nick then what I had previously seen him in!!

Here's a video of John, Scott (Kate is background doing her training) all hurting in practice so we don't bleed in battle. Ok, mostly don't bleed ;-) if you want to see blood click here, just look for the guys covered in blood!!

5 Things that Fighters do to lesson their chances of winning from training;

1. Follow their MMA, Thai, Grappling coach for "expertize" in strength and conditioning. Get the expert coaching of the body from someone who TRAINS fighters!
2. Watching Youtube video's on Randy Coutoure, BJ Pen and others doesn't mean their training is any good! They will be good at MMA regardless of their training, and most MMA strength and conditioning is crap! Yes, even the guys from UFC & other organizations have crappy Strength & Conditining Coaches!
   
3. Don't be cheap, expand your knowledge and coaching through searching outside of your area of expertise!
4. Running will NOT make you fit for the ring, it takes care of your aerobic system however in the ring, requires other systems of the body i.e. aerobic, lactate, A-lactate, power, strength, speed, agility etc...
   
5. MMA is in the virgin stages, their is only a very select few that look at MMA as a profession i.e. train strategy, physically, mentally, emotionally, tactically, their opponent weaknesses & Strengths, their own weaknesses & strengths etc.... Treat it like a profession and seek the BEST to learn from.

If you found this useful feel free to share it with your youtube mates to learn from ;-)
