So what is it? Gymnastics of course. And just when [...]

Just this past weekend, I asked you which martial art was going to be “next” as in which martial art will be the next big thing in MMA. And with the overwhelming response was taekwondo, so I thought I’d re-post an article that Bloody Elbow just published regarding John Makdessi’s flashy taekwondo-inspired kicks. It’s pretty [...]

You’ve seen all the infomercials, you know, the P90X stuff, Insanity, Tae Bo (lol), heck even GSP got into the action with his own workout series, but let’s face it, do you really need to drop $100 bucks on a bunch of DVD’s to get into shape? Probs not, but like any good scientist, I [...]

All misleading titles aside, here is footage of Brazilian BFF’s Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida sparring at Team BlackHouse in LA. Want more? You’ll get to see Anderson’s now famous front kick to the face. Of course the more agile Machida dodged it (unlike his other Brazilian countryman Belfort) but [...]
I love boxing. There I said it. And honestly, what’s not to love? Two men (or women) standing toe-to-toe, bobbing and weaving, slipping and dipping, all the while landing that sweet 1-3-5 combo! Brilliant! I mean, there’s a reason why they call it the “sweet science.” And guess what, boxing skills just so happen to [...]

Joe Rogan teaches GSP some taekwondo – video
Posted: February 2, 2011 in Commentary/Opinion, MMA TrainingThis clip is hilarious! Not intentionally so, but it’s just funny hearing a “Joe Schmo,” pun intended, giving the world’s #1 P4P fighter advice on fighting. I mean seriously, I’m not exactly calling Warren Buffet and telling him that he should be heavily investing in emerging markets (e.g. Brazil) now am I? That said, Warren, call me homie. [...]

After watching this video, I don’t know what to believe anymore. My whole life has been turned upside down and has left me in complete and utter disarray. Why? Two words: Steven Fuckin’ Seagal.
