@wrestlinfan8388 Once players retire, fans tend to forget about them. Nobody wants to enter their golden years sucking their meals out of a straw, being handicapped, or not being able to remember the names of your kids' name. Read the story of ex-NFL tight end Benjamin Utecht.

The best no gi grappler in the world today, even Eddie agrees with this, is Marcelo Garcia. Marcelo Garcia trains both gi and no gi. There is value to both training with the gi and without. Keith Owens has a great video that talks about this.

Charlie was kind in that he defined the Bush Doctrine for her. If I were Charlie, I wouldn't have told her what the Bush Doctrine was. In fact, I would have asked her point blank - "Tell me what the Bush Doctrine is." And I'd sit there and wait for her to answer.

Akiyama really wanted to give him a beating. After he mounted him, he had so many opportunities for an arm bar, yet he chose to beat the crap out of him.

@novomlinski Dark - yes! As in a BLACK Hakama! What's next? A pink gi top with yellow flowers and a bumble bee!?

Dude, yes, I KNOW that BJ competed in judo tournaments, but when he did so, he was already training in BJJ! He started BJJ at 17 years of age. Prior to that, the only sport that BJ did was a little bit of youth soccer. That's it!

Yes, Frankie did legitimately beat BJ in the 2nd fight. Yes, Frankie is a very good fighter. But BJ Penn is a GREAT FIGHTER. BJ won the belt in both lightweight and welterweight divisions. He's routinely fought guys who outweighed him by 20-lbs or more. BJ was also a world champion in jiujit...

Funny stuff with the avocado! But the reason why it is illegal to take island fruits to the mainland is because we have certain species of fruit flies and other insects that, if transported to the mainland, it could destroy fruit and vegetable production on the continental U.S.

Dave Camarillo said that, after only about 1-month of training, BJ Penn was already giving advanced BJJ practioners one hell of a time. In no time at all, Camarillo could no longer pass BJ's guard. This is INCREDIBLE, when you consider that Camarillo was already a very accomplished judoka.

Best grappler on the planet - nuff said.

@TexasRedneck92 Buddy - I'm 52 years of age. I grew up in a time when school teachers could physically hit a student if they were not listening. I grew up in a time when Little League coaches could withold water as a form of punishment. I once had to run around the baseball field, with full ca...

Many describe Kajukenbo as a street fighting art. If this is true, then why the hell would one stop the fight after only 3 seconds on the ground?????

I don't get the rules - no gloves; allows kicking to the head but no punching to the head?? Weird.

@stephenbb8006 MMA fighting skills are EASILY adaptable to the streets. It's the ATTRIBUTES that count. What's needed to be a good MMA fighter is, basically, the same as what's needed to be a good street fighter - strength, speed, power, timing, reflexes, good cardio, etc. An MMA fighter who's...

@le2key Yep - this is a DUMB way to train. An emergency shut down cord, hooked to the waist band is essential at these speeds. One mistake, and the athlete is badly injured. In training, one must always weigh risk vs. reward. This is NOT worth the risk. No trainer (except one without any com...

Great video - I really enjoyed it!

Marcelo is such a humble, soft-spoken guy. Dress him in a collared shirt, and put glasses on him, and he'll look like a nerd. You'd never guess that this guy is the absolute best grappler in the world.

@stefan6175 Very true - lots of great martial artists are like this. The best grappler in the world, Marcelo Garcia, is on the small side, and he is so humble - always smiling, with a very gentle look on his face. It looks like he can't even hurt a fly. Yet, he's capable of choking the crap ou...

@dredericktotem1245 I have to agree with you. What women see in him, I have no idea.

The GREATEST warriors in the U.S., in the last 100 years, were members of the U.S. Army. On average, they stood 5'4", and they weighed 140 lbs. These warriors made up the 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. For those of you who are not familiar with the 442 and the 1...

Let's put it this way - if Rudy had spent that same time and effort that he put into football, thousands of hours, into raising money, say, to build or support a soup kitchen, his legacy, his own sense of accomplishment, and his contribution to society would have been MUCH greater than getting i...

I find it VERY AMUSING that these so called EXPERTS on barefoot training probably never spent much time barefoot. Let's see - I was born and raised in Hawaii. From the day I was born until I was about 12 years old, I went, literally, 24/7 barefoot. We went to school barefoot - even went to wed...

@peteferd1 Tom Landry was a class act. He was so well-dressed, and he was always so calm, cool, and collected. He was so professional in everything that he did. Many of today's coaches look like slobs.

Anyone who purchases Valslides is a fool. You can buy cheap furniture sliders for much, much, much, much, much, much, much less. Valslides are a pefect example that, with the right marketing, you can get people to buy anything.

@Wardfolio Ummm, I disagree. When referring to Seagal, Bas Rutten said, "Steven Seagal never competed, and there is a big difference between real fighting and doing it in a safe dojo. And it's very difficult to catch a jab and to put the arm into an arm lock...no, actually it's impossible, trus...

Our ancestors also did not have cars, buses, and airplanes. They walked or ran EVERYWHERE! They also did not have chairs, video games, computers, iPads, and televisions. They did not have washing machines, modern medicines, antibiotics, or soap.

@sebaale91 Not true - BJJ and Judo are both better than karate and kungfu. Muay Thai is better than karate and taekwondo. Wrestling and judo are better than Aikido. Kali/Escrima is better than kendo. Need I go on??

@ImSoOffended That's not true. The art plays a HUGE role! Look at the early UFC matches between Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock. Shamrock was physically superior to Royce. He was MUCH bigger, stronger, and more powerful. Yet the ART of Gracie Jiu Jitsu allowed Royce to nullify Ken's strength a...

@surfs1man Yes, Mayhem fought GSP, but that was a long, long time ago. GSP's skills have improved by leaps and bounds since then. The GSP of today is much, much better than the GSP that Mayhem fought.

Rippetoe does not know anything about Oly Lifting, so I don't know why he is trying to teach it. Listen up Americans - we are DEAD LAST, by a mile, when it comes to Oly Lifting. There is only one man in America who has the qualifications, experience, and credentials to teach Oly Lifting, and wh...

USA Weightlifting is the worst in the world - the absolute bottom of the barrel. It is not uncommon to find top lifters from other countries who total more than USA lifters who are TWO weight classes heavier! The USA is as good in Olympic Weightlifting as Ethiopians are in ice hockey.

@BibleIsland Thank you! I could not have stated this better myself! If I am a married man, and a female coworker is extremely hot, sexy, and available, my natural male instincts - my genetics, my biology, my inborn male instincts to procreate will cause me to think about her in a sexual way. I...

PERFECT form! I've watched several of this gal's vids, and she uses perfect form in EVERYTHING she does. THIS is what you call a pull-up. She completely straightens her arms on every rep, and she gets her chin WAY over the bar. Damn, damn impressive!

@BigRoma1 People hold their weapons differently, buddy. It depends on your style/system. The late Ben Luna Lema used to hold his stick with a lot of punyo exposed. Everyone is different. There is no "right or wrong" way.
