Training with Donavin Hawkey, cont....

Donavin Hawkey runs a beginner/intermediate MMA training session every Wednesday from the Body Guru gym in Umhlanga.

Classes focus on fitness (which I definitely need more of :) and MMA basics, although there are a few experienced guys in the class to balance things out (Justin Hawkey also trains with the group). The fitness is quite intense, and I recall being quite out of breath after a few cardio exercises Donavin put us through on my first visit. Afterwards we did some stand up/sprawl combinations, and then onto some jiu jitsu 101, passing the guard. Even after training with a few different groups you pick up some cool tips, and this was no exception.

I really enjoyed training with the guys in Umhlanga, and I can definitely recommend trying them out if you're in the area. If you're keen on getting fit or have aspirations of one day fighting get in contact with Donavin on 083 706 2172, or email him at hawkeyd@gmail.com
