Forest Griffin - Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion
The HCG showed me what MMA is as well as how to train for it and how to learn it. The HCG covers the fundamentals of training in every aspect of MMA from the most basic to the expert. They can teach anyone from the newbie to the expert they can teach you well. Adam and Rory Singer have the ability to breakdown MMA and explain and teach it to anyone.
Junior Assuncao (UFC Veteran, BJJ Black Belt)
As a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Capoeria and a MMA fighter, I find The HardCore Gym to be a great training facility. My name is Junior Assuncao. I began training at The HardCore Gym to prepare for my fight in Brazil this past March. Being long time friends with Masters Rory and Coach Adam Singer, I knew they would know exactly what one needs for a training camp.
As a fighter, I have trained at many pronounced gyms around the world. More specifically, when preparing for one of my U.F.C. fights, my camp was at Black House in Brazil. Even though this was a facility with many big stars, it didn’t have the well-rounded quality of The HardCore Gym. The coaches have a organized program where there is an unspoken understanding that when you are training for a fight, the guys help you. Then when the guys are training for a fight, you help them. So with that method, every night there are plenty of training partner that one can count on to show up. I’m very happy with the my training progress and with this level of coaching I am ready for another shot in the UFC.
I would like to say thank you to all my coaches at The HardCore Gym and my training partners! I look forward to seeing you guys at practice soon!
I started at The HardCore Gym weighing 258 pounds and over a course of twelve months I am holding around 210 pounds. Just to make the math easy that is 48 pounds lost. Let's just say I also have a new wardrobe now and feel better than I have in years. To be forty seven years old let's just say it has been a long time since I have felt this good. Thanks to The HardCore Gym for being there and to all the coaches that made me feel so comfortable.
