Martyn Ford – renowned for his achievements in acting and bodybuilding – has taken a big step into the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), with a special focus on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
And, well, at an impressive height of 6’8″, Ford’s transition from bodybuilding to BJJ presents a unique challenge not just for himself, but also for those who grapple with him on the mats.
In discussing his training, Ford emphasizes the importance of aligning his fitness regimen with his martial arts goals:
You can see the difference between this type of training and training in a gym is huge, but the training that we are doing in the gym is so specific and so relatable to this work.
A lot of people know that I come from a fitness background. So for me, it was always extremely important that I was getting the right work done behind the scenes to allow me to really benefit from here.
Ford trains at Gracie Barra – and you can see some of his training and rapid skill development on the video below.
