Mississauga Elite training centre - Martial arts and fitness

Most boxing fitness classes make you sweat.

At Trifecta Fitness & Boxing, we want you to walk out stronger, smarter, and better prepared to move in real life.

This week on the blog, we broke down the McGill Big 3 — three simple core exercises designed to build a stronger, more stable midsection without beating up your back with endless crunches.

Why does that matter?

Because a strong core is not just about abs.

It helps you punch harder, move better, protect your back, and build the kind of fitness you can actually use.

That is exactly what our Trifecta Fitness & Boxing program is built around:

Boxing.
Core training.
Real conditioning.

No nonsense. No complicated routines. Just smart training that works.

Trifecta Fitness & Boxing is now back Saturday mornings at 10 AM.

Catching and dealing with your kicks being caught are two really important and often overlooked topics in Muay Thai..

Here are a few clips of coach travis going over some best practices from the situation in the class the past week.

p.s
Heading into spring soon, so I'd say it's almost time to break out the running shoes as roadwork season is nearly here.

Here's how you can make your double ankle sweep actually work 🥋

Some of the most effective techniques in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are also the most natural movements the human body can make.
The chair sweep (also known as the double ankle sweep) is a great example

If you've ever watched kids wrestling on a playground one grabs the ankles, the other tips backward you've basically seen it already.
In BJJ, the chair sweep is one of the simplest ways to knock someone backward when they stand up inside your guard. Done right, you take away their balance and move straight into top position or mount.

The move is simple. The details are what make it work consistently.

Here's what beginners often miss:

After the sweep, your opponent is briefly higher than you when their back hits the mat. If you rush to jump into mount, a strong opponent can push you away and scramble back on top.
The fix? Keep your hands on the mat behind you. Then walk your hands forward while driving your hips in climb into mount, don't jump into it.

That one detail alone makes this sweep far more reliable.
The chair sweep works because it attacks your opponent's base. When their feet are pulled out from under their hips, gravity does the rest which is why even a smaller person can sweep someone much bigger with the right timing.
You don't need strength. You need timing, leverage, and good positioning.
At Core Jiu-Jitsu Mississauga, this is one of the first sweeps we teach because the movement is natural, the lesson is clear, and it builds skills you'll use for years.

Short answer: Absolutely not. At Elite MMA, your safety and confidence are our top priorities.
