No. Not even in his own family. I'm willing to bet it isn't. You mean like kicks to the knees, which we've an entire thread about?...
In addition to "Jiujitsu University" I'd also recommend his video series "Jiujitsu Revolution" and "Freestyle Revolution". The man is truly...
Assuming this is true- and I think it is, just don't have any real numbers to throw at it- then it's an unfair comparison, given how many kicks...
The old tournaments were single-elimination, not round-robin. In round-robin format, you'd fight every other fighter. The reason you wouldn't...
Lindland's book is really good for wrestling-style clinch. Anderson's book and video are pretty good for the Thai-style clinch for MMA. Couture...
