Welcome

When Robbie Johnson became the World United Martial Arts Under 65 Kilo World Kickboxing Champion in 2006, he fulfiled a lifetime ambition. Robbie started kickboxing at the age of 19 when he met instructor Paul Grieves at the Spartan Fighting Arts Academy
in Sunderland. After a year of training Robbie entered into his first fight from which his ambitions for the world title grew and grew. But nobody can say he’s had an easy ride. On his way to reaching his goal, Robbie competed in 12 tournaments in the space of 9 months, fighting and winning his way through the regional, British and European titles before being
crowned World Champion.

Robbie’s typical week consists of five nights a week training which goes up to six nights a week when preparing for a fight. He splits his time between resistance training, cardiovascular work and sparring in the ring. Robbie doesn’t train with free weights as this would increase his weight and potentially decrease his speed in the ring. A lot of his
training regime is centred on weight management and he goes on an 8 mile run twice a week to stay trim. Alongside his strict training regime, Robbie is careful to ensure he eats the right foods. His dietary intake is arranged and monitored by his father, who ensures he gets the right balance to meet his specific requirements and keep him below his target weight of less than 65 Kilos. Robbie also swears by the MET-Rx range, which he uses to keep him in
peak physical condition. He specifically uses MET-Rx Supreme Whey Protein and a variety of the MET-Rx supplements to help support his training programme.
