Kettlebells and CrossFit

Recently I’ve been hearing more about kettlebells and how effective they are in training grapplers. In a recent conversation with the owner of ATP Kettlebells, Juan Bacca, I learned how kettlebells are used to train a person with “real” motion. This is compared to “pin-popping” on traditional workout equipment which only allows for one range [...]

Logan Stanton and Natasha Wicks UFC Girls Get Cut

Normally you would be hearing about a fighter being cut, but to my surprise both Logan and Natasha have been cut from the UFC as ring girls. Honestly, I didn’t pay attention to what they had to see in the past, but after hearing them speak I can tell that’s not why they get paid. [...]

Slick Judo Armbar

I’ve recently been taking more of an interest in Judo and found this video. Last night I was talking with my BJJ instructor on Judo and its use in Jiu Jitsu. From my experience, Judo is probably the weakest part of most competitor’s game. I ran across this perfectly executed stand-up armbar and think this [...]

I have to say I think they probably hit the nail on the head with this one. MMA is a gritty sport, so its seems [...]

How many black belts do you have?

No video this time, but rather a question. How many martial arts can one person master? I was on a gym’s site and the instructor was a 7th degree black belt in 3 arts, 6th degree black belt and 3rd degree black belt in other arts. Not only does he hold 5 black belts, but [...]

Some people are this stupid, Kiai Master vs. MMA

It’s challenging to believe that there are people who believe that “the force” really can be with you, however, this Kiai Master really does believe it. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t work like Star Wars and you can use “the force” to beat your opponent. The question that really must be considered is that at least [...]

Another Great Video of Grappling Women

Watching women in bikinis grappling is fucking hot. These two chicks go at it for quite a bit and show a decent bit of technique and experience. If there is anything that the UFC needs to incorporate into its shows is women matches and require that their uniforms are bikinis. Or better yet make a [...]

Vintage Gracie Jiu Jitsu Video

This is an amazing video of the beginning of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. The only significant difference that I could tell from jiu jitsu today is the stand-up. The first scene depicts Judo based throws, whereas today’s stand-up is a mix of Judo and wrestling. Also, make sure you watch the video to the end, because [...]
