An Old Article about Lyoto
Someone e-mailed me an old NY Times article today: Contender Shores Up Karate’s Reputation Among U.F.C. Fans. It’s about Lyoto Machida, written right before he knocked Rashad on his rear. The article is about how Lyoto’s style is changing people’s … Continue reading
Marketing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools
My son’s school ends before the work day, so when I pick him, we often have free time. I’ve recently been trying to find some activity to get into shape–other than running, which kills my knees–and since there’s a well … Continue reading
Fighting Pastors
I guess it was bound to happen–the evangelical movement is appropriating jujitsu in Brazil. I couldn’t tell if it’s MMA or grappling only–it looks like it’s grappling only though, since the guys don’t have gloves. But then again, who knows … Continue reading
BJ Penn and Anderson Silva Win
(pic from here) Wild night in Philly (though I watched from SE Portland). Anderson Silva had an unbelievable defeat over Forrest Griffin. He was so much faster than Griffin that there was no chance of him losing. In the final … Continue reading

Brock Lesnar destroyed Frank Mir at UFC 100 tonight. It wasn’t unexpected; the guy weighed in at 265 and was probably around 280 at fight time, and his neck is thicker than most peoples’ waists. What was unexpected however was … Continue reading
If No One is Present to Hear a Tree Fall…
There was a NY Times article today about Fedor Emilianenko, where we learn among other things that we were ALL mispronouncing his name. Fedor Emelianenko (pronounced FYO-dor yemel-YAN-enko) was born in 1976, the son of a teacher and a welder, and … Continue reading
MMA and Really Young Kids
A NY Times advertisement led me to the Responsibility Project (which looks like an advertising campaign from Liberty Mutual…though the site is suprisingly slow) where they discussed MMA and kids–two subjects which interest me. I’ve blogged about kids and MMA before, … Continue reading

PUA Schools and the Quest for Liberation
William and I have recently been debating on whether the Asian Playboy created his own system of pickup, and whether it’s right that Mystery, whom everyone agrees was Playboy’s original teacher, doesn’t get credit on the main section of APB’s … Continue reading
