The results from summer fight camp! We don’t always get before and after pictures, but what a remarkable change in only 6-weeks.

“Before and after Dexa scans
Meal plan
No alcohol
Workout 7 days a week
Recovery

Trainer set My goals: cut to 185 lbs to get body fat down to 17%, No more than 1400 calorie intake and burn 1400 - 2000 calories per day.

The camp was 6 weeks. Same food everyday. I lost 10 lbs after 3 weeks then my body plateaued for 10 days. I had to cut 250 calories from food and add more calories to burn. The scale started moving again. I completed recovery once a week with 15 minute saunas and 10 minute cold plunge.

In the end, my weight went from 214 - 194 and body fat from 24.3% to 16.8%. It was enough to get 3rd place out of 50 people in camp. Im loving the way I look. Now I have to learn how to maintain the weight. Next camp Jan 1.”

Six weeks. 24 athletes. 247 pounds off the scale — and 237 of them were fat.

That last part is the whole story. Anyone can drop weight. Holding a hard deficit and keeping your muscle is the hard version, and nine of you finished with more lean tissue than you started with. Every number here came off a DEXA scan, not a bathroom scale.
Your co-undisputed champions: Alejandra Cano and Matthew Mederos — separated by a tenth of a point. We’re not splitting that.

Punchers are born. Boxers are built — and they’re built from the floor up. 🥊
Every ounce of power in your punch starts at the ground, travels through your legs and hips, and only then reaches your fist. Sloppy feet means leaked power, lost balance, and an open chin. Good footwork is your offense and your defense at the same time.
This week at Archetype, we’re getting back to basics: the engine (conditioning) and the wiring (coordination) that make everything else possible. Control your feet, control the fight.

Fight camp is in the final round. 🥊
We wrap up this Sunday, the 31st — which means everyone’s got one last hard push before the finish line.
It’s been a great six weeks, and the results have been genuinely impressive for such a short stretch of time. Students are looking lean and mean, and everyone’s speed and conditioning is looking sharp.
This is the point of fight camp: amazing shape. Feeling light. Feeling strong. Not tiring when you train. Feeling good, all the time. That’s what six weeks of showing up builds.
Six weeks down. One last push. Let’s finish strong.

FEINT WEEK 🥊
A feint simulates an actual punch or movement without full commitment — forcing your opponent to react incorrectly.
It’s the precise ex*****on of deceptive movement to elicit a specific reaction. How well it works comes down to body mechanics, timing, and subtle variations in movement.
Swipe through for the breakdown: the mechanics, the strategic role, and where it shows up in a fight.
Fair warning — this section of the curriculum is challenging to learn, much like Footwork Week. The more often you’re in class, the better your retention will be. Get on the floor this week.

Fight Camp week 5 complete: last week, push and make weight!

If there’s one thing every animal on this planet has in common, it’s that we have to keep moving to survive.
Last year in Siena, Italy, I watched an entire city turn out for the Palio — a horse race with roots in the 1300s, run largely unchanged since 1633. Ten wards. Ba****ck riders. Three laps around the piazza. Over in under 90 seconds. But the race itself isn’t really the point — it’s everything built around it. A whole community, every age, wrapped up in something bigger than themselves.
That’s the standard we teach at Archetype. Not run or nothing. Run, walk, crawl — but never stop. A hard week doesn’t cancel your training, it changes its shape. An injury doesn’t end your progress, it redirects it.
