Following his fighting career, Mr. Paulson founded the fighting system Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW), one of the few complete mixed martial arts systems in the world today. It combines all elements of MMA to include boxing, Thai boxing, clinching, takedowns, and submissions.

Being fit- whether we want to admit it or not- we all aspire for it.  Just look around in society.  Fitness is on almost every magazine cover; whether it’s a fitness magazine, a teen magazine promising readers to swimsuit-ready abs or a model on the front cover with a well-defined body.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Being fit- whether we want to admit it or not- we all aspire for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Just look around in society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Fitness is on almost every magazine cover; whether it’s a fitness magazine, a teen magazine promising readers to swimsuit-ready abs or a model on the front cover with a well-defined body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">There are diets that tell us to cut out carbohydrates from our diets, to eat only foods they’ve approved or eat nothing but cottage cheese.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>There are diet pills, diet shakes, and of course, diet soda.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">It’s time to stop emulating the bodies of airbrushed models, and realize that most of the football and baseball players out there have either not gotten their toned bodies naturally, or are simply overweight.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">As Ultimate Fighting Championship events continue to grow in popularity, many are starting to tune in and take notice of a new level of fitness.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The attention brought to the recent World Extreme Cagefighting featherweight championship of Mike Brown vs. Urijah Faber had many take notice of both the fitness and toughness of Mixed Martial Arts fighters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Not only can these fighters take and receive forceful blows, but their bodies are in top physical condition, even for veteran fighters in their 30s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Fighters have their bodies ready for anything thrown at them, literally.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Fighters get their toned bodies several ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>First, there’s the physically demanding daily workouts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The strength and conditioning training is intense and shows fighters rewarding results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>These workouts comply to individual fighters’ specific needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Fighters often train for many hours a day, because being fit and ready to fight are their jobs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Their dietary regimen is strict and incorporates a healthy lifestyle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This is especially true in weeks before a fight, where fighters often have to lose weight.  The fighters have a dedication to complete health and fitness.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN">Faber himself has often said he was raised to be health-conscience and has maintained a lifestyle of healthy dieting and exercise habits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been fed with a great diet from the womb,” Faber told <a title="Faber's fitness secrets" href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1608/is_9_24/ai_n30956754/" target="_blank">Men’s Fitness</a> magazine last year.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In the interview with Men’s Fitness, Faber said he drank no soda, and ate little red meat or processed foods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>For breakfast, he makes a high-calorie shake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>He eats foods rich in protein throughout the day, such as milk and peanut butter.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">His workouts do not include conventional weight-training exercises, but mostly focuses on boxing, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><p><a href="http://www.titanfitness.com/blog/mma-news/mma%e2%80%99s-top-athletes-are-today%e2%80%99s-new-fitness-models.html"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Veteran fighter <a title="Pulver's workout" href="http://www.mensfitness.com/fitness/workout_routines/303" target="_blank">Jens Pulver</a> has a workout that is equally challenging both mentally and physically.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>To get himself ready for his routine, he practices getting mentally tough, which is a skill he needs in fights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>His physical workout, like many fighters, focuses on strength and endurance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">WEC fighter Micah Miller’s workout consists of stretching to gain flexibility and doesn’t consider his workout finished until he’s stretched, according to an article from wec.tv.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Cole Miller, Micah’s brother and fellow fighter, has been known to train for triathlons to get him into cardiovascular shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>To get ready for a fight, he increases his sparring and follows a schedule set up by him and his team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>His diet is mostly all organic or natural.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Eating healthy and exercising should be incorporated in everyone’s daily lives, both for health reasons and to see results.</span></p>
