Submission Fight Company – Kids Gi Shakib over at SubmissionFC (www.submissionfc.com) was one of the first Interviews I had for this site. I recently got in touch with him to ask about his line of belts for kids as my daughter would be getting promoted soon. He offered something we weren’t expecting, a Gi for [...]

MDTS Training- Tactical Folding Knife (4 hour class/seminar)
Posted: 30th March 2011 by Josh in UncategorizedI’ve been trying to do as much in the way of edged weapons study as I can this year. With a few DVDs that I’ve seen, a seminar and some past FMA experience I’ve been searching through what I felt was the nuts and bolts of what fit in with my mindset and training style. [...]
I got the Ringside Air Focus Mitts from MMAOpinion.com’s store (http://www.mmaopinion.com/rs-air-mitts.html) for $39.99. I needed something that was a little better suited to boxing drills than thai pads and these looked like they would fit the bill. I’ve previously used focus mitts form (N)everlast, Combat Sports, Ringside (normal style), Top contender, and Title.
Fairtex Bag Gloves I ordered these gloves from www.KarateDepot.com (http://www.karatedepot.com/bx-gl-154.html) and received them within 3 days, extremely fast shipping in my opinion. The gloves were packaged nicely in a heavy, thick Ziploc type bag with padding around them to keep them secure. I would order from them again with confidence.
One Day Edged Weapons Seminar – Sayoc Tactical Group
Posted: 8th March 2011 by Josh in UncategorizedI would say that the day was split up into two distinctive areas: Mindset/Theory, and technique. I’ll talk about what I took away from the mindset portion first. Tom gave us some background about Sayoc Kali and how it differs from other flavors of Kali. In the phillipines there was Kali that was based in [...]
Recently I was lucky enough to take a one day edged weapons seminar with Sayoc Tactical Group in Bryn Mawr, PA which is just outside of Philadelphia. This was kind of an all around win as far as the weekend was concerned for a few reasons. My friend and instructor Tom went to college in [...]

True Fight Gear Natural Leather Shinguards and MMA Sparring Gloves
Posted: 17th January 2011 by Josh in Gear, Gloves, Shin Guards, Stand up shins, Training GlovesThere have been several companies doing some “old school” looking gear in natural leather. The style is definitely making a comeback. If you remember back to my interview with Josh from True Fight Gear you’ll remember that they were working on some natural leather gear as well. Josh was great to interview and gave some [...]
I’ve waited several weeks to post this review, this has granted me about 12-14 classes with it, two seminars and some trips to other BJJ schools. I was really excited for this review before I had even started it – would it live up to the hype? Would it be enough room for not only [...]
Sorry for the lack of content lately. I made a bit of a change in scenery career wise and it’s had me shuffling things around and I haven’t had the amount of time I had before to work on things. Now that I have a good pace set at the new job I can give [...]
