There is an MMA presence at the Bulldogs’ workouts, however. Twice a week Ward invites fitness instructors D’Angelo Kinard and Daniel Silva, both of whom compete in MMA and teach classes at Bowie’s World Gym, to lead his team through exercises. Ward, arms crossed in a small wrestling room his team shares with the dance team, listens to Kinard’s drill sergeant-like yells and nods his head. “This gives our guys an edge over their opponent,” Ward said, watching the brutal MMA-style workout. “It’s all a different form of wrestling. It’s all hand-to-hand combat.” –Washington Post
“I started attending boot camp in February of 2008. I initially joined to get active and lose 10 pounds. Before joining boot camp I was very lazy and did not like exercising at all, but after one month of actively participating in boot camp and actually work hard. I started to notice changes in my body. I hard a better endurance level for rigorous activities and I start to love thanking control of my physically strength. Like any exercise routine it is and was not easy but I kept my goal in mind and work hard. D’Angelo is a very good motivator and excellent trainer. He keeps you motivated and gives you a total body workout within an hour. He also gives you tips on the right foods to eat and how to eat well to improve your health. You are guaranteed to sweat and improve. I have lost 10 pounds and will continue to exercise to improve my health.” -Tracy Dawodu
