  • Thought on martial arts training

    Writing this from my iPhone, so forgive me if it’s a bit less verbose :)

    So, as I hang out in disneyworld, I was thumbing through a copy of Gladiator magazine in the book store. One of the articles touched on an interesting point: in boxing basketball, and many other sports, there is not an expectation that a good coach actually be able to beat their student. But in MMA this seems to be an expectation.

    Is this because people just expectthisfrom MMA, or is it because the sport is still young enough that the really good coaches are still young enough to be competitive?

    Your take?

      Great work! I also have my own blog I just find it hard to write quality content like this.
      I guess I really don’t have the time.
