The Knee

One of the most effective techniques for fighting is the knee. It is a hard bone and hurts whatever it comes into contact with. Check out this video of awesome knee knockouts.

The Spartan Run

Me and some of my gym mates participated in the Sparan Run this past weekend. We did the 4 mile sprint through a trail in Conyers, GA. You run an obstacle course, running over and under wooden walls, crawling under bob wire, climbing ropes, monkey bars, tire flipping, scaling walls, walking sand bags up hills, and slipping and sliding through lots of mud. It was an awesome day and everyone who participated enjoyed it. If you ever get the chance do, you will have a blast. Here's a few from our team afterwards.

Knockout Power And Technique

Do you have to be strong to knock an opponent out? No. Some fighters are naturally powerful and can graze you on top of the head and knock out out or hit you in the arm and break a rib. Fighters like George Foreman have the kind of power. Some fighters can cause severe damage with an accumulation of punches. The hit you over several rounds and all of sudden you feel drained and woozy. Ali is that type of fighter. Then there is the guy who places his shots and times opponents, so that they move into those shots (i.e. Mayweather). You can be one of these if you examine how you are made. All of these will depend on your body type. And it will depend on your technique. Always practice your basics because when you get tired, you will have to rely on your technique.

Don Wilson Vs Dennis Alexio

Here's an old school kickboxing bout between Don "The Dragon" Wilson and Dennis "The Terminator" Alexio. It is early in Dennis' career and he put up a great fight with the legendary Wilson. 2 of the top guys of that time period going at it.

Me & Some Friends Doing Judo

Wanted to share a clip of me and some of my judo buddies at the Annual Wakamusha Judo tournament last month. Josh White (one the top players in the US) is first. Old me is 2nd with the Uchimata and Dalorean pulls off a cool collar shin choke. I had 5 matches that day and learned a lot and saw a lot of good judo.
