I agree.

Knife and gun training (use of and disarming) are useful. I could also see where some stick fighting quarterstaff training might come in handy on the off chance you find a valuable weapon...

So they went from little knocks to big knocks but there is no swelling?

First and foremost, take a few days off, period. If you continue to train with an injury, it's only going to get worse. Go...

Face it, you are going to roll with people who have bad armbars or who go for the armbar even when not in position, so why practice a...

I agree with the poster that says these fights are fixed and setup. I have just seen too many UFC fights go the wrong way.

I believe that another problem is that the judges, a lot of time, know a...
