Finally “King of the Ring” part 2 is out, stop reading and press play!
This is the most informative and scientific break down of what weight cutting regimen should look like that I have read. Not a surprise this great article comes to us from Tim Ferriss (The 4 Hour Body). Cutting weight sucks but can also be extremely dangerous if done incorrectly.
I am vegan, but that doesn’t mean I agree with everything PETA does. I have my own opinions about animal rights and I really don’t like how PETA markets themselves blah blah blah, but I do think this video game ”Cage Fighter” they made featuring Jake Shields, Aaron Simpson and Arianny Celeste is pretty cool. Reminds me of that old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game from the 90’s.
If the Harlem Globetrotter’s had a kettlebell coach it would have to be Sergey Rudnev. Check out these awesome juggling/feats of strength he and Aleksandr Khvostov pull off at what I’m guessing is some kind of Russian pep rally. Sergey is not only a 5 time world champion kettlebell-er (is that the right term?) but he is also a world renowned coach. While we applaud guys for running an odd shaped ball past a line the Russians are throwing around giant bowling balls with handles. We’re slacking America!
Living in NYC, opportunities to help other people present themselves on a daily basis. I admit I don’t always jump at the opportunity to help but when I give up my seat on the subway to a senior citizen or help a mother carry her stroller down the stairs I feel better for doing it. Well, here’s the science on why we feel so good when we help not only friends but strangers as well.
Yes, yet another new social media app is now in use, but I really enjoy using Vine, and if you have Vine and enjoy silly MMA stuff or like dogs I suggest you follow me.
Everyone knows when you hear “Lets Get Ready To Rumble!” two things are happening, 1) People are going to fight and 2) Michael Buffer just made some money. “Cornered” takes us into Buffer’s life and how he started and feels about his profession. Unfortunately this is just the short version of the documentary, which is only 15 minutes or so long but if you have HBO it’s worth checking out.
For those who don’t know, Michael is half brother of the UFC’s ring announcer Bruce Buffer, but strangely they didn’t meet each other until Michael was 49 years old, click here to read that story.
A good look into what’s really going on in our brains when we are learning a new skill. If you were thinking about picking up a copy of the book “The Talent Code”, I just saved you $15 bucks because this short article basically sums it up. Remember friends, practice does NOT make perfect, practice makes permanent.
If you frequent my site you must know by now that I really love Martial Arts documentaries, I really enjoy seeing other fighters perspectives and expressions of their art and the world that surrounds them.
We’re so lucky they were able to produce ’Mrs.Judo” before she passed, which was just this last February. Keiko Fukuda was a trailblazer and a great ambassador for Judo.

By now I’m sure we’ve seen at least one friends posting videos of surfing or snowboarding from their GoPro camera, which I admit look amazing. I’m not much of a “extreme” sports guy so I like spend more of my time indoors on the mats, that said I have seen people recording their mitts sessions or sparring rounds with a GoPro and for a while I was planning on dropping $250 bucks on one of these but the Miveu has me rethinking my plans.
At around $80 bucks for the harness and iphone case this a cool option for a POV camera considering most people have iphones. I think it can offer a useful angle to see you striking technique if you recorded your mitts sessions with this, as long as you coach doesn’t mind strapping this on. Here’s a video of what some of the action they captured looks like, I did’t post it because its 2 minutes too long and has annoying music.
Hey everyone, shut up and watch the new episode of Dog Judo! A few days ago I spent a good ten minutes explaining to my girlfriend what this show was about and she didn’t seem as amused as I would have expected. Pushing past my disappointment in my significant other’s lack of imagination, I hope you guys can sit back and enjoy!
The well traveled and learned Tim Ferris, author of The 4 Hour Body, The 4 Hour Chef and The Work Week brings us 4 (get it?) of his favorite full body exercises that could be used either as a warm up or put together and used as a work out. I like his tweak to the burpee to make it a “Blupee”, good stuff!
Eat This Much is a simple way to help plan you meals by dietary needs and desired caloric intake. Pretty cool.
A great, simple and to the point video from TED-Ed and George Zaidan about the different fats and how the react in the body. Remember these big food companies do not care about your health, it’s up to you to gain the knowledge to protect yourself from all the crap out there. Stay away from partially hydrogenated fats!
A very cool article about yet another of my Ricardo Almeida brethren Frankie Perez. Frankie has put together an impressive winning streak together and is jumping into the cage again June 14th in Atlantic City to take on his toughest test in Adam Townsend. Best of luck Frankie!
