Published on 2011-12-12 13:46:00
It's been a couple years since I posted a muay thai holiday gift guide...whoops. I'm back at it, and that's all that matters, right? So, you want to get a gift for someone in your life who either trains muay thai, or is a fan of the combat sport, but what the hell is muay thai, and where do you start looking? Perhaps you train, and you want to give your girlfriend or grandma some ideas of what

For me, it started with a bootleg VHS tape of fights at Lumpinee Stadium in 1992. Then, a couple weeks later I caught Paulo Tocha in Bloodsport on HBO, and in my teenage mind I was convinced. I didn't know what they called it, but whatever this fighting system was two things were certain: i. the style looked both brutal and at the same time elegant, and ii. those shorts with the writing on the
Black Friday & holiday shopping safety tips with a tactical twist

So Black Friday has come and gone with some unsurprising violent outcomes across the United States. A woman in Southern California had the bright idea to discourage other shoppers from vying for an Xbox360 by using pepper spray, injuring 10 people in the process. I give her points for ingenuity, but she sort went against some social mores, such as that little known 'do unto others' rule that

Front leg kicks are usually used as set up strikes, whether you're in the cage, in the ring, or in the street. The right use of body mechanics can make it powerful, but its rare that a front leg kick would drop a guy and keep him down. There are a number of ways to throw it - with the reigning method has the fighter stepping out before throwing the kick. Technique aside, a key difference in how

Conditioning Secrets Finally Revealed Back in the late 90’s there was a T.V. show called “Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed”.

Attacked by Twenty:True Multiple Opponent Realities
Published on 2011-07-03 23:51:00
After fighting and dealing with three, I had to deal with twenty more who swarmed and encircled me. Didn’t see that coming. Punches, elbows, forearms, hammer fists and chops worked. Knocked out a few but knocked down a lot more of them. Kicks and knees wouldn’t work. There was just too many of them and they swarmed too fast. I wasn’t tired until I stopped fighting. Must have been the

How It Really Goes Down in a Multiple Attack If you get on the internet, you’ll find a large amount of information on multiple opponent fighting. A large percentage of it is crap, but not because it isn’t any good. In fact a large amount of it is very well thought out and logical, but unfortunately it’s just conjecture and theory. In other words it’s just an educated guess. My friend Richard

We typically use this day to remember those soldiers who died in the course of serving their country in battle: our grandfathers, uncles, brothers, friends.

Being mugged not what its cracked up to be
Published on 2011-04-21 01:30:00
Over this last weekend I received an email from one of my YouTube subscribers who had a hell of a story to tell. Friday night, this young man, only 15 years old, was robbed at knife point in the street. The mugger demanded money and his cell phone. He did the right thing in this situation: he complied. It's really easy, after training martial arts or having fought in the ring / octagon, to get
