The interesting thing about the follow up video is that he says he was just being intentionally inflammatory in his earlier video to get hits. So...
Since I do both judo and BJJ I’d say properly tying a belt is much more pragmatic than mere tradition. Belts really do have a function if you’re...
I don’t think Tenshin was playing. Floyd was, at the very beginning, then Tenshin went after him hard and you can see Floyd’s demeanor change. He...
I think the issue with the third knockdown was that his equilibrium wasn’t all there by that point anyway. I also think it’s why his corner threw...
Pro boxer, arguably the pound for pound in the world vs a kickboxer he outweighs by 20lbs in a boxing match. Not fixed. And Tenshin is still a...
There’s two types of making weight especially with youth sports. One is to eat whatever you want and only worry about it in the last few days...

Here’s the thing, watching either Machida from fight and their movement in mma resembles their movement in kumite competition. The stances,...
I understood it a little differently. Like here is a use for kata, one that is part of an overall training methodology that includes live training...
This video just popped up on my YouTube feed. Kind of in line with the discussion in this thread- minus the millionaire karate teacher angle- so I...
Problem with this argument is you’ve got a few examples of karate fighters- not exclusively karate but nobody is exclusively anything in MMA...
Same is very true for Judo. The Koreans practically have their own style. I was just watching someone demonstrate a very slick tai otoshi...
