hey, this is a question for those of you that are familiar with the Bas Rutten MMA workout CD’s…
from what i understand, there workouts are boxing, muay thai, MMA and then an overall workout (like calisthenics?)…does this sound correct?
the MMA, BBJ and kickboxing instructors i train with are moving gyms right now, so i was thinking of trying this for a few months at home, while i wait for everything to get ironed out there. i assume this would be a good workout for overall fight-based cardio, and i was thinking of plugging in a day or 2 of running, or maybe something from P90X… would this be a simple, easy solution? basically i’m just looking a good, quick cardio/MMA workout that’s not gonna bore me too quick…
Thats all they are is him giving you shadow boxing instructions. I have it and yes it does push the pace faster then I normally would on my own.
The difference in the 4 workouts is what you do.
boxing- just punch
Muay Thai- Punch and add a knee or kick at the end of each combo.
All Around workout- you move around alot and the combo pace is slowed down. Have not used this one much.
MMA- there is a sprawl thrown in.
So I dont see how its really complicated. Its pretty easy to follow and will push your pace hard.
Oh, are you supposed to be shadowboxing with these cd’s? Jeez, I’ve been hitting the heavy bag with them & its killing me. Yes, they’re a great workout. Doing a sprawl after every freaking combination on the MMA is my own personal Hell.

He says to either shadow box, hit the bag, or have a partner hold pads for it. I have shadow boxed and hit the bag but I have never had someone hold pads for it.
I have been using the Bas CDs for a long time now. Great supplement for when you can’t get to a gym or you are traveling. You can do the AAW anywhere with very limited space and you can always use the boxing or Thai boxing tapes for just shadow boxing. If you can get a bag, that is better. The best is if you can get an experienced pad holder to hold the pads for you and then you will really be getting your ass kicked. I usually do the AAW workout three times a week every other day and I either run and/or do a few rounds of shadowboxing with either the Thai boxing or boxing CDs. Highly recommend the workouts. One of the best MMA workouts I have ever used.

These CD’s kick ass.
They basically are a 1, 2, 3, or 4 combo. He explains all of the combos at the beginning I believe.
Boxing and Muay Thai are the ones I’m familiar with most.
Boxing - Just punch, you’ll be surprised how much it takes outa you.
Muay Thai - Kick or knee after every combo.
Definitely something I recommend.
Shadow boxing was alright, as a warm up.
Hitting the bag was great, but having someone hold the mits for you allowed for some defensive stuff too. Give them a spin, you’ll be pleased
