Phoenix, AZ - preferably SE Valley area??? Thanks in advance.

I will go on record as saying Henderson. Looking forward to tonight.

I have trained in tae kwon do, ishin ryu karate and now muay thai and Brazilian ju jitsu. Everyone above is correct. Find what matches your body type and stick with it. I really prefer BJJ and submission wrestling, but as I get older, I really feel it a lot more lately. It is taking longer...

Working from home takes ALOT of discipline. I get up at the same time everyday. I start work at the same time everyday. I don't do household errands during normal working hours. However, I am self employed and doing fire sprinkler system design work. It is something that can be done...

yeah..it is great..but, we were doing throws/takedowns and I broke my right hand in the next class..I am out for about 4-6 weeks. Really sux!!

Hey all...I am only a white belt in BJJ, but got my first stripe last night. Felt good to be making progress. Thanks to everyone on here for all of the help the past few months!

definitely. It also fuels the desire to train even harder for the next time. I am looking forward to doing better in the next competition..whenever it is!!

I let the nerves get to me. Lost on points from a guard pass to side control with 20 seconds or so left in the match. Neither of us could take the other down. I was able to pull guard, but unable to submit or sweep. With time running out, I opened my guard to much to try to get the sweep and...

I am going to be in my first bjj tournament this weekend. I have been training for about 3 months. I will be in the masters division (over 30). Any tips on what I should look for / expect? I have recently changed my "style" from fighting not to lose, but fighting to win. I found I was...

Chuck Liddell Vs. Randy Couture Chuck won via KO in 2nd round. Randy announced retirement Frank Mir Vs. Marcio Cruz Cruz won in the first round. Mir got cut BAD. Renato Sobral Vs. Mike Van Arsdale Renato by RNC Alessio Sakara Vs. Elvis Sinosic Not on the PPV Brandon Vera Vs. Justin Eilers...

yeah...I didn't mean to imply you did. Truthfully, from what I have seen in the midwest and southwest, the McDojo's typically far outnumber the legit places with respect to TKD. Now that I am at a gym that trains MMA fighters, I can see a huge difference between the systems. It is quite...

We did some leg kicks, but not a lot. Most of it was focused on the waist and up. Our point tournament rounds were 3 minutes as well. However, they were with the protective equipment. I would agree that TKD is a least 70% kicking as well. It is funny though. I always felt much better with...

I must have come from a different 'era' TKD school. In the lower belts (white, yellow, green, blue) we did light contact sparring. In the upper belts (red, brown, black) we put on the chest protectors and head gear and basically did full contact sparring. I remember I got KO'd in class...

Do you have a link for a decent ECA stack? It is pretty tough to find ephedra containing compounds now.

Ok..I have been training BJJ for about a month now. It is amazing what you can learn in a short period of time. My first time rolling, I was tapped out more times than I can count. Now, I still get tapped alot, but also get my share of them as well. The cardiovascular changes are amazing...
