Over the next six weeks, Owen Roddy will be showing us some of the basics involved with MMA to make that move to a class that bit easier. This week it’s Tabata, a four minute, intense workout that will work for you no matter what you are training for or looking to improve.

‘Rowdy’ Owen Roddy is a champion MMA fighter who has fought and beaten the best guys in the world. He’s also an increasingly prolific coach, operating out of his own Gym in Finglas Primal MMA.
