DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Bethune-Cookman's summer football workout Saturday morning ended with 20 players trying to choke each another out.
And Wildcats coach Brian Jenkins was happy to hear about it.
That is because the workout-ending scrum was by design – the end of a four-session, alternative method of training endorsed by Jenkins and directed by Fight Sports Daytona instructor Todd Cutler and B-CU Director of Strength and Conditioning Medgar Harrison.
Cutler, who trains mixed martial artists at his Fight Sports Gym – an old white building located along Ridgewood Avenue -- said the program is based on the principles and conditioning of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
It is a style of training that seems to be gaining ground with professional athletes – perhaps most notably Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen – looking to augment their normal training methods.
