Krav Maga 411

Just a reminder for you all, tonight is UFC Fight Night on Spike TV. This is free UFC and it looks like there’s going to be some good bouts. You’ll recognize some of the fighters from the Spike TV reality show “the Ultimate Fighter”. At least the writers strike can’t stop MMA.

UFC 80 is two days away so I hope you didn’t make any plans for Saturday. It’s a good line up:

• Joe Stevenson vs. BJ Penn
• Fabricio Werdum vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
• Jess Liaudin vs. Marcus Davis
• Wilson Gouveia vs. Jason Lambert
• Jorge Rivera vs. Kendall Grove

This is going to be a lightweight title match for Penn and Stevenson because Sean “the Muscle Shark” Sherk tested positive for steroids. (more…)

Just a heads up for those of you that get Versus TV or has a friend that does. There’s going to be a couple of title fights on February 13^th 2008. These will be some great, fun to watch fights, especially for free cable TV. (more…)

Here’s a video clip of Bill Duff, host of the History Channel’s TV show Human Weapon getting knocked out. It looks like someone else beside the cameramen from Human Weapon was shooting this match.

He’s fighting a Champion Taekwondo fighter when he gets caught with a spinning heel kick to the head. The funny thing about a Taekwondo match is that it’s really the furthest thing from a real fight; it’s really about who ever can kick the other one in the head first. (more…)

I know this is an old clip, but if you haven’t seen it it’s new to you, plus it has some good insight into fighting which you should know. It’s an interview with John Hackleman who is Chuck Liddell’s trainer or striking coach, what ever you want to call it. He talks about Chuck getting knocked out by Quentin “Rampage” Jackson. (more…)

If you don’t have Versus TV and are into combat sports you should really think about getting it. They carry World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), which I find to be really entertaining and fun to watch. I would have to say that their fighters and fights are just as good as UFC or Pride FC. In fact they have some of the UFC’s fighters, fighters like Joe “Diesel” Riggs and Jens Pulver. (more…)

This is a very interesting video clip of a kick boxer fighting a boxer. This is a K-1 match up from 2004. The fighters are a kick boxer named Alexey “The Red Scorpion” Ignashov and a boxer named Arthur Williams. Ignashov just slaughters Williams with low roundhouse kicks to the knee and thigh, which Ignashov is know for. (more…)

 Here’s a very strange clip of Muay Thai fighters going all out trying to kick each other in the junk. This is very unsportsman like behavior.

I have to admit it made me laugh out loud. I’m sure you will too.

I guess this is why groin kicks are illegal in sport fighting. Because the fighters would just focus in on the old family jewels.

I glad we train in groin kick defense in krav. You never know when you’ll get in a professional nut kicking contest.

I am really looking forward to this UFC event, mostly because I really can’t stand Matt Hughes and Wanderlei Silva and really like Chuck Liddell and Georges St. Pierre. If I could have my way it could be a tag team match, Liddell and St. Pierre vs Hughes and Silvia. (more…)

Here is a video for the people that haven’t heard of Rob Kaman, its highlight reel of some of his fights.  Rob Kaman is a 9 time World Champion Kickboxing and Muay Thai Champion known as “The Dutchman” or “Mr. Low Kick”, which is funny now because there are tons of Dutch fighters (more…)
