“MMA uses alot of the same basic movements for break down, crash mats where they can take impact and give impact, alot of functional movements, all benefiting the rugby players in the training for MMA which crosses over, alot of take off movements, balance and staying on your feet, and breaking free of holds”
The Instonians front line are very fast, with us the team train together as a team.” PHK MMA Comment.

We asked Brian Barrett why he brought the guys to MMA, he said….
“To have something different at the start of the season, to make new guys bond together, MMA is a one to one sport but they way they did it allowed them to interact as a team sport, an awful lot of it is compatible to rugby, on how you bring someone down, fitness balance and mental attitude”.
