Costa Mesa, California (November 18, 2010) – Joey Alvarado, former professional MMA fighter and competitive grappler, has just announced his first MMA workout kettlebell dvd to be released in December 2010. The new MMA workout kettlebell DVD features unique kettlebell and Jiu Jitsu exercise variations created specifically to enhance MMA fighters' performance.

"When I first started training with kettlebells, I realized how applicable they are to MMA fighting,” said Joey Alvarado, former professional MMA fighter and the developer of Combat Kettlebell Systems. "I've simply combined kettlebells with Jiu Jitsu exercises to create a highly effective method which allows MMA fighters to increase their strength, explosiveness, and stamina."

The Combat Kettlebell Systems DVD is the first follow-along MMA workout kettlebell DVD to teach and incorporate several new kettlebell exercise variations into high intensity workouts geared for competitive MMA fighting. These new kettlebell exercises include the Rocking Chair Get Up, Fighter's Figure 8, Fighter Swing, Kettlebell Upa, and more.

Joey Alvarado's MMA workout kettlebell DVD includes over 15 step-by-step exercise instruction and demonstration clips along with three follow-along workouts designed to simulate competitive MMA fight sessions. The first workout contains three, three minute rounds, the second is four, four minute rounds, and the final is five, five minute rounds. Each workout incorporates different bodyweight, Jiu Jitsu, standard kettlebell, and newly-developed kettlebell exercise variations to give viewers an intense, hardcore workout.

Joey Alvarado has over 30 years of Martial Arts experience, including a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, and Kuk Sool Won, along with a Machado Purple Belt and extensive Muy Thai training under Frank Cucci and Ajarn Chai Sirisute. During his fighting career, Joey Alvarado was a Cage of Fire Lightweight Champ, Grapplers Quest Gold Medalist, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu US National Silver Medalist. He is currently the owner and head trainer of Socal MMA Fitness based in East Los Angeles, California.

The Combat Kettlebell System DVD is the first DVD produced by My Mad Methods Productions, a segment of the My Mad Methods company. My Mad Methods also produces the My Mad Methods Magazine, a publication dedicated to unconventional training methods like kettlebells, and MyMadMethods.com, an online fitness community and exercise and workout database. My Mad Methods is owned and managed by Mark de Grasse, a kettlebell specialist out of Orange County, California.

The Combat Kettlebell Systems DVD is currently being offered for pre-sale pricing at MyMadMethods.com/store through December 20, 2010, at which point the DVDs will be shipped out.
