KEITH JARDINE
COMBAT PERFORMANCE LAB · EST. 2009
Fifteen years inside elite cages and gyms. One system that turns working fighters into ranked ones — with the conditioning, programming, and accountability that actually hold up under bright lights.
40+ professional fighters prepared across the UFC, Bellator, and ONE Championship rosters.
USA Boxing Level 2 and NSCA-CSCS certified — sport-specific coaching, not generic fitness.
Named 2018 MMA Coach of the Year by Fighters Only magazine.
A remote roster of 180+ active competitors, programmed from Albuquerque across 14 countries.
Most fight camps train harder as the date gets closer. That's how athletes break down in week six and gas in round two. The Cage-Ready method is engineered backward from the bout — built on movement screening, HRV-based readiness, and sport-specific conditioning that adapts to the athlete in front of it.
Every athlete enters the lab through a movement screen — mobility, structural balance, and injury history. The 38% reduction in camp injury rates didn't happen by accident; it happened because we find the weak links before sparring finds them.
First MMA coach to publish sport-specific HRV tracking for amateurs. We don't guess who's ready to go hard today — we read the nervous system, then write the session around what the body can actually deliver.
Eight-to-twelve-week camps built in deliberate phases: accumulation, intensification, sharpening, peak. Volume goes up, intensity follows, and the athlete walks to the cage without a worn-out gas tank.
Cut smart, recover fast, step on the scale with muscle still attached. A documented protocol that protects performance when other coaches gamble on it.
312 professional fights prepared. 224 wins. 88 losses. The numbers don't argue back — they just sit on the page.
Whether you're a ranked UFC prospect, a regional titleholder chasing a call-up, or a gym owner who wants your fighters programmed like ours — there is a tier built for the work you actually do.
An eight-to-twelve-week camp written around you, your fight, and your opponent. Daily sessions, weekly check-ins, movement screen, HRV readiness, weight-cut protocol, and direct contact with the coach — not a junior assistant.
For competitors outside Albuquerque who want the Jardine system delivered — sessions, weekly progression, video review, and a monthly call to keep the program honest.
The same conditioning curriculum adopted by 120+ academies across 11 countries. Drop it into your gym, train your fighters like ours, and stop rebuilding the wheel every camp.
Marketing copy is cheap. Bout sheets are not. Here's what the record actually shows.
Fighters prepared inside the Jardine system have walked out with four Performance of the Night bonuses — the kind of result that turns a regional name into a roster the UFC actually calls back.
Seven fighters currently on UFC's official rankings have a Jardine-built camp in their corner — work that includes 2 former UFC champions and 11 Bellator tournament finalists in the alumni roll.
The same fight-camp architecture Keith built for his own athletes is now the operating system behind sixty-plus combat-sport academies — from regional MMA gyms to international striking schools.
