Ed "Short Fuse" Herman - Trials Martial Arts and Fitness

"Ken and the ESP-XC program has been a great addition to our fast growing martial arts and sports fitness gym. We work with a variety of people from kids; your average joe looking to get back in shape; to high level professional athletes. Ken and his team have put together a great program that can help you achieve any fitness goals. This program is a combination of diet, nutrition, and exercise you can use to get in shape like the pros from home or as an athlete like myself in your gym. I use this program as a supplement to my rigorous training schedule. As a coach I have learned a lot of new techniques from this program for my endurance fitness class. I recommend this program to everyone at all levels."

Ryan "The Lion" Schultz - IFL Champion

"I have had the pleasure to get to know Ken and ask him many questions about his ESP-XC program for MMA. I am amazed with his knowledge of the body and how he systematically put these workouts together. Ken and his team have put together this 90 day systematic workout including diet and nutrition that I believe will bring your body to its full potential. I would let any competitor know that this strength and conditioning series with the diet and nutrition plan will elevate your game tremendously. I believe this so strongly that Ken is running my strength and conditioning for my next fight!"

Sherrie Schell - Personal Trainer/Group Fitness Instructor

"This progressive program enables you to track results and experience the increase in strength and lean muscle week by week. As a personal trainer/instructor for 25+ years, working with clients at all levels of fitness, this program works! Unlike group fitness programs utilizing the same routines, just different music week to week. The mma training is designed to continually challenge and push your body. Set a goal, commit to the training, and take it to the next level!"

Brian Olson- 4-time Judo Olympian

"I started training with Ken in the Summer of 2008 for my 4th Olympic appearance in Beijing. I was coming off a 3 year retirement from international competition and needed to get back into shape. His ESP-XC training system got me in the shape I needed to be in to compete at the international level. Ken's knowledge of strength and conditioning for any fitness goal let alone combat sports is unsurpassed and I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in getting into serious shape."

Amy C.- Athlete

"ESP-XC is one of the best workouts I have ever done. I am not apart of the MMA field, but I found the workouts to be just as beneficial for my exercise goals. I am a busy mom of two small children, so being able to do the workouts at home without having an extensive home gym was great! With a proper diet and cardio, I was able to meet my goals. I lost 15lbs and 9% body fat in just 12 weeks. I feel stronger and more in shape than I have been since being in college. I feel more prepared to achieve the next goals I have set for myself, completing the Mt Evans Ascent and running my first marathon"

Noah "The Red" Thomas - WEC Fighter

"I have been fighting and competing at a high level for 10 years now (over 40 fights to my record). I'm a former marine sniper turned professional MMA fighter in the WEC I also competed on "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show where there wasn't a whole lot of time for strength and conditioning and that really inhibited me during the competition phase. I decided to drop a weight class and fight in the WEC and at this point I knew I needed to take my strength and conditioning to the next level. I worked with Ken every morning to help improve my strength and agility, as well as, my conditioning. Unlike other fights where I had trained myself and my conditioning was lacking, I felt more energized and physically ready for the WEC. Training with Ken and using the ESP-XC system gave me the levels of strength and conditioning I needed to compete at that elite level. Give the ESP-XC a shot and marvel at your improvements."

Ron Van Clief - 5x World Champion

"Ken, tried the workout...very practical tactical exercises and drills. This collection is excellent for anyone serious about mma training. I wholeheartedly recommend the ESP-XC. It's a great product. The nutrition manual and workout book are great extras. You have made an extraordinary product. The MMA community should take advantage of programs like ESP-XC SYSTEM. More emphasis should be on conditioning,endurance and strength training...Technical mechanisms by themselves can only go so far..The combination of mind-body training make all the difference in the world..Ken, keep up the good work and thanks again...Products like yours are really a necessary tool for development. Have a great day!"

Rusty Pierce - Pro Soccer Player

"ESP-XC has been a great way for me to improve my fitness and strength. After finishing an 8 year career of playing soccer at a professional level, I have been looking for a routine that challenges me physically while not taking up a huge amount of time. I found that going for a jog a few days a week or lifting some weights every once in a while just wasn't going to challenge me and keep me in the type of shape that I was hoping for. I also don't have the time to drive back and forth to a gym. I finally found what I was looking for with ESP-XC. What I like most about this program is that I can chart my progress and continue to set new goals throughout the entire set of DVD's. I also like the way each of the three phases challenges me in different ways and provides a variety of exercises. ESP-XC is an absolute must for anyone serious about getting into the best shape of their life!"

Paul H. - Athlete

"Throughout my last two years of high school I gained a lot of weight. Up until that point I had been a very active person. I raced motocross and participated in martial arts. Sadly the last two years of high school I gave those activities up. In just two years my weight sky rocketed from 175 to 231. Shortly after I graduated high school I got back into martial arts and met Ken Pytluk an incredibly talented martial arts instructor but more importantly the creator of ESP-XC. Ken talked to me about losing weight and showed me his program. Using ESP-XC combined with the diet included I went from 231 to 190 lean in 3 short months. Thanks ESP-XC I'm now living my life to it's fullest!"

Ken Pytluk - ESP-XC Creator

"I created the ESP-XC workout so people could train smarter. This program is systematic progression from endurance to strength to power development. Random workouts put out there by our competitors have no real rhyme or reason to their makeup. We start with endurance training in order to improve your muscle balance, body control and stability. These traits are very important for moving onto the strength phase, which increases performance by increasing your capacity to work and increase strength through functional movements. This allows for the ability to move efficiently with improved power production as the goal of the power phase. Each phase builds upon the other. If the endurance phase is lacking, it can ultimatley lead to less efficient power production. This is the most efficient training system available. I challenge you to do it; you'll love the results!"

Justin Wisdo- CEO

"The ESP-XC fitness program is by far the best strength and conditioning program I have seen. Throughout my sports career I have done a handful of strength and conditioning workouts from a few different trainers and I'll have to say that the ESP-XC is my favorite. It challenges you over and over again and provides you with the results that you are looking for. If you are wanting to take your fitness to an elite level or just want to stay in top shape, this is the workout for you."

"The workouts are excellent, especially the Cardio Combo workouts. I am involved in Law Enforcement and I was looking for something to take my strength and conditioning to the next level. This is it, the instructions are simple to follow and Ken is knowledgeable in MMA training. I would highly recommend this training system to anyone involved in Law Enforcement, Corrections, Fire Rescue or the Military. The bad guys like MMA too and we need to keep up with them as far as fitness. Our lives depend on it"

• Samuel R.-Law Enforcement

“Ken, Thanks for making the MMA fitness training DVD’s. They have improved my strength and performance levels. Which have made my physical prep time for any situation the Army throws at me a lot shorter and easier. I’ve recommended it to my fellow soldiers.”

• Miki S.-US Army

“Hi guys. I just made it through the first week of training. Surprisingly, the cardio conditioning was the hardest for me. But I really enjoyed the workouts. Great functional training that can be applied to any sport.”

• Michael S. - Athlete

“The ESP-XC training system is great; being a power lifter I came in to the program thinking it would be easy. I was rudely awakened after the first video. This system really works the core of each and every muscle group in the body. Me being a power lifter I neglected the core of each muscle, and by doing this system I feel that my core is much stronger. I’ve lost around 15 lbs during the 90day program.”

• Nick L. - Power Lifter

"I think that the program is awesome. It was what i needed to get my training to the next level. I have dropped about 25 pounds since on the program. I feel that i am stronger today than when i started. I am still trying to get my diet right so my body has enough energy for my training sessions and sparring. You guys have put out a great product."

• Oscar T - Athlete

"I truly have to thank Ken and MMA Fitness and Training!!! I began doing the fitness program about a week after I received the DVD's(March 3rd).....It wasn't easy-but I can feel the strength building in my inner core muscles, I just feel so much stronger! I stepped on the scale the other day and I was in shock! I had lost 15lbs in about 5 weeks, Thank you so much!!"
