In the early 1990's the Gracie Family created the UFC as a way to showcase their unique and practical martial art known as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

The Gameness Elite Gi is one of the new big boys on the block. Gameness has ripped our attention from the traditional Gi makers with the visual appeal of the Jiu Jitsu Gi's. When looking at a Gameness Gi you can't help but think, "Damn, that is a great looking gi". However, do they last, how is the quality, and are they as good as the older boys in the market like; Fuji, Mizuno, and Atama? One of the nice features of this Gi is that it is pre-shrunk cotton so you can shrink to your exact taste. Read more [...]

It is amazing how many Thai pads our gyms go through (as well as other MMA Gear). Most of them get thrown around and take some serious punishment from the heavyweight in the MMA Gym. So, a good high quality Muay Thai pad is essential in an intense MMA training routine. You can always get cheap muay thai pads for $40, but then you are replacing them within 4 months and realizing you should have just gotten a quality pair of pads to begin with for around $80 to $100.
Today we are reviewing Read more [...]
While MMA and martial arts in general are often seen as the preserve of men, there is no reason at all why women cannot get involved in the sport at all levels, from beginner to competitive athlete. Training for women is largely the same as training for men, but there are a few things for women to think about and some things that women could perhaps do differently.
