  • Raising The Standards For The Rank Of Black Belt
    By: Tom Callos | - I have been looking deeply at the martial arts world, at the process of earning a black belt, and about what it means to be a black belt.

  • Mixed Martial Arts Fighting, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu And Muay Thai Fighting Training Tips For Repetiti
    By: Geoff Aitken | - When first learning a new mixed martial arts fighting technique whether at the fundamental level or the more advanced it is important that we chunk it down into smaller, easily learned units. Once easily assimilated chunks are obtained these must be practiced with repetition to learn them. However, just repeating them over and over again in a session has its limitations.

    Studies on a simple nervous system have shown that any more than 10 repetitions of a task in a session does not ...

  • The Catch Wrestling Approach
    By: Bamboo | - The art of Catch Wrestling is slowly, but surely rising back from the grave. While there aren't many fighters that use Catch Wrestling as their ground game (with the exception of Josh Barnett, and Kazushi Sakuraba among others) many are starting to incorporate techniques into their regimen.

All three have their share of similarities, but what makes Catch Wrestling far different from the more known systems is the philosophy, and approach ...

  • Intro To Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
    By: John Parke | - Most individuals' first experiences with martial arts were watching Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris on the big screen mystifying us with flashy punches and kicks and many times taking out multiple assailants at the same time. While its hard for anyone to doubt the entertainment value of these films, they did start to build a false belief in what an effective martial art can realistically achieve. Kung fu, Karate and Taekwondo clubs were filled from coast to coast and the general consensus was that th ...

  • Benefits Of Martial Arts Training For Kids
    By: John Parke | - Admit it. When the going gets tough at home, weve all plopped the kids in front of the television and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, we can get started on dinner, maybe check email or sort that massive pile of laundry.
    But when your five-year old yells at you Mom, Kids Rule! or your ten-year old horrifies you with language that would make a sailor blush, you realize there must be something amiss with what these family programs really teach our kids. And sadly, its happ ...

  • Diet Fads That Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Athletes Must Avoid
    By: John Parke | - Diet fads promise a short-cut to success. They sound like a simple plan that you follow and gain the fitness level you wanted. This is the reason why most people fall for them.

  • Benefits Of Yoga For Mixed Martial Arts Athletes

  • George St Pierre Gets Ufc Title Shot
    By: Raymond Burton | - Matt Serra is out with a injury for the Dec 29 fight against Matt Hughes (the most dominant welter weight in UFC history).

    Hughes is a machine. He has won 41 fights with the same wrestling style over his career which says something for the guy. Most fighters with one style get picked apart early in their career but Matt has proven he can over come almost anyone. He's a strong, hard working, tough farm kid with a "Must Win" mentality. And all the power to him! He had a ton of fans ...

  • The Karate Secret No One Wants You To Know
    By: Chris Pizzo | - Have you seen the History Channel's new show Human Weapon yet? Its pretty friggen good.

    The concept is that these two athletic dudes (one an MMA fighter, the other a former football player and wrestler) travel all over the world to train with, and then test out various cultures' martial arts. And while only two episodes have aired as of this writing, the show already has proven itself to be a very revealing diagnostic tool to those who are able to look beyond the romanticism and i ...

  • Why Did I Start Boxing?
    By: lambpie | -




    I imagine my story is very similar to many other people who have found themselves involved in the world of boxing and martial arts. I started as a lot of young men do, doing a normal 9-5 office job, eating rubbish and drinking far too much lager! This of course did very little for my body or my anything else for that matter so decided it was time to join a gym.

    The host of the party was a major fan, and he laid out a nice spread for us with plenty of food and cold beer. The fights started and all seemed to be going well until my host started acting as if he knew something about fighting.

    Oh, he knew plenty about the UFC athletes, but not much about an actual street fight.

  • What Happened To The Marines?
    By: Chris Pizzo | - Rivalries aside, most people agree the Marine Corp trains some of Uncle Sam's toughest warriors.

    Sadly, the Marines, like so many military organizations, have fallen prey to political correctness in modern times.

    In 2001, the Marines switched from their battle proven close combat methods in favor of a system that is designed to "subdue" rather then kill an attacker. Funny, I never thought the Marines had a problem with killing people before...And the scumbag terrori ...

  • What To Do When A Killer Walks Into Your Classroom
    By: Chris Pizzo | - To think that a random murderous gunman could even possibly appear in your or your child's classroom is a horrible notion.

    And while the rest of the world analyzes what could have been done to forewarn authorities about potential threats like this (including other countries screaming gun control at us), I can't help but think about how the victims just sat there waiting to be killed.

    By discussing the behavior of the victims I don't mean to disrespect their memory, ...

  • Matt Serra The Future Ufc Lightweight Champion
    By: Jon Murray | - Let's get things straight, I'm saying that Matt Serra has no chance against Georges St Pierre in their UFC welterweight championship bout on April 7, 2007 in Houston Texas. What I am saying is that Matt "The Terror" Serra will be a future champion in the UFC lightweight division.

    The UFC does not have another fighter like Matt Serra. Serra is a brilliant fighter, a fighter with a 7-4 MMA record, 5-4 in the UFC. Huh? How can I call a fighter with a record like that brilliant? ...

  • Ufc Welterweight Dream Matches
    By: Jon Murray | - I'm going to begin with the UFC welterweight champion, Georges "Rush" St Pierre. Georges is huge for a 170 pound fighter. He stands 5'10" and is 25 years old. He comes into every fight in spectacular shape and ready for war. Fortunately for Georges, most opponents are not ready for the kind of strength, size and skill he brings to the Octagon.

    St Pierre is a brilliant striker, fully utilizing his height for both punches and kicks. He brings strikes from all angles and moves ...
