STRENGTH TRAINING / MUAY THAI / KICK BOXING - Tony Cabrera

Tony has over 26 years experience in Martial Arts. He has been training, competing and instructing in different Martial Arts systems such as Muay Thai, Kick Boxing, point and Knock Down Karate. As a trainer his students have obtained national and state titles in Muay Thai and Kick Boxing.
He soon realized, that if he really wanted his students to compete at a higher level, he would have to gain better knowledge in strength and conditioning and nutrition. Now at Iron Underground he has the perfect setting to apply his knowledge

In 1997 he succesfully obtained his strength and conditioning instructor certificate from O.R.T.H.O.S Barcelona. This opened his eyes and really made him understand the importance and benefits of resistance training for athletes and general population. When back then many trainers only related weight training to body builders.
