Actor/bodybuilder Martyn Ford is a freak of nature. Towering at 6’8″ – 203 cm, he weighs a huge 320 lbs – 145 kg of pure muscle. Ford has starred in movies Boyka: Undisputed (2016), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) and Redcon-1 (2018).
We’ve previously written about him when he started bjj – late last year.
Back then Ford was quoted saying:
What is your current training philosophy? How often do you change your training?
Currently I am doing HIT training. I run a program for 4-5 weeks and then I have a week off, where I do high volume work. I will switch up the exercises in the second phase, but the reps and methods will remain the same. In regards to fitness, I do MMA training twice per week, with two sessions at the Gracie Academy for BJJ and 2-3 interval sessions in the gym.
For recently gave an interview declaring his interest in MMA:
Ford was flat out asked will he fight for the KSW while attending a recent event and after a little back and forth he confirmed: “Yes”
“We’ve agreed to start with 3 fights… I come for this game with full professionalism. I don’t expect to come in weighing 155, 160 and be able to fight properly. I know what it takes, how much dedication and how much hard work. My fitness level is gonna have to go wooh wooh (gestures way higher) “
No word on potential debut yet
For more beautifully brutal kimura variations and set ups, you will want to take advantage of the knowledge of one of the most sought after MMA and grappling coaches on the planet, Neil Melanson. He has distilled his years of leading MMA champions into The Filthy Kimura Series and it can be yours by heading over to BJJ Fanatics!
