Yes, this was Fabiano's tournament. Does anyone know who Lindland's last opponent was in the Gi competition? He was from Gracie Barra and won first place in that division.

Michael Bisping

Wow! Never seen Capoeria combos used in actual combat before. Very nice post.

That's a good one, any of the S30V steel blades are great IMO. That one is perfect for a basic AXIS folder. It's comparatively inexpensive but very high quality. I wish it came in coated black with serrated combo edge.

Most rings are harder than knuckles, so a large enough ring can definitely increase the chances of a KO or a broken jaw.

Yeah, Benchmade is my pic for #1. The 610 Rukus is my favorite http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_detail.aspx?model=610 Also Gerber makes some good stuff, like this one: http://www.gerberstore.com/index.php?xpage=itempage&xid=723

Warm up and stretch to prevent injury, kick to strengthen kicking muscles. You can't kick high if your legs aren't used to it.

The cheekbone or tip of the jaw are better spots to aim for a straight shot KO than the nose, but the jaw right under the ear or the temple are best for hooks and roundhouse...etc strikes.

Yes, switching stance can be very useful. Do it in training and learn how you can use it to your advantage.

What tournament, style? Sounds like you did the right thing rooting for your brother while he was fighting. Think of it this way: If you had to make the choice would you do as well if you knew your brother was stretching instead of yelling for you to get after the other girl? Also yelling for...

I just typed the word ****** (S C R I P T) in a recent post and it was replaced by ******. I looked it up on wikipedea to make sure there wasn't a slang term I just hadn't heard of and found none. Could you enlighten me as to why I'm being censored?

I think Kyokushin fighters would benefit from training with an Olympic TKD coach to improve their kicks. I'm sure TKD fighters could improve their punches training with Kyokushin fighters. No style is useless. No style is perfect.

Hey WingChun, do you use WC Wooden Dummy for practice? Those look like a useful tool for conditioning your forearms & hands, feet, shins...etc. I've never used one myself so I don't know how well it works, but it looks like it would help. They are alot harder than a punching bag & have arms & a...

Yeah, that clip is a good example of how Lee really did know how to fight. Some people think he was only good at "stage combat", but they need to do a little more research.

Well Tao of JKD was mostly conseptual knowledge that Lee had written down. He talked more about basic movements and did not talk much about grappling or trapping. However Larry Hartsell a student & long time friend of Bruce, Published a straightforward example of the direct application of JKD to...

Thanks, glad I could be a somewhat usefull newb. Remco kicks ass!

I agree Shogun. Martial arts don't make you a good fighter, you make yourself a good fighter.

There are so many practical aspects of Wing Chun that are being utilized by mixed martial artist's these days. Consider this: How many fighters in MMA use Jeet Kune Do as part of their training? Quite a few IMO. One of JKD's big influences was Wing Chun. Bruce Lee trained under legendary Wing...
