Omar Santiago: The Unofficial AFL Feather Weight Champion

July 21, 2009

The entire KnuckleUp team is proud of Omar’s performance at the Fight To The Finish VI match. Omar dominated the fight throughout the 4 rounds (over 15 minutes on the Cage!), displaying amazing conditioning, strength, and technique.
The hard training absolutely paid off; Omar showed amazing skills, offsetting his opponent right from the beginning. Short after the bell rang, Omar took Casey to the ground with a beautiful takedown, and that was just the start.
The battle lasted for 4 rounds, which shows the level of conditioning of these athletes. At the end, however, while defending his guard, Omar accidentally hit Casey on the chin with an illegal kick.
The referee disqualified Omar, and gave Casey the title.
Even though we agree with the decision, and hope Casey’s injuries are only minor, it was clear that Omar won the fight.
Here are the videos to prove it:

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
