MMA Star Alain Moussi On How He Trains For A Match by uSports
The 6-foot, 200-pound Lebanese-Canadian fighter — who most recently starred in the MMA film reboot Kickboxer: Vengeance (2016) for a role that Jean-Claude Van Damme originally played — sat down with uSports for an exclusive interview to discuss his typical training routine for a jiu-jitsu bout, among other things.

“I do strength and conditioning, I work a lot of functional fitness, the same types of exercises you would do in cross-fit,” said the Gabonese-born Moussi, 36. “Then, depending on what you’re trying to work (build more power in your strikes, build grip strength, etc.) I do a lot of exercises that require gripping and lifting/keeping a grip. It’s a lot of push-pull to develop more power, more explosiveness in my striking.”
