Commercials
Does anyone know if some of the commercials from the Games are available for download? Back in 2010 they released several inspiring commercials (I've probably watched the "Belief" one fifty times)....

Re: 2012 Open, Regional and Games thread
I was just talking about this with a friend/client and I agree that it doesn't matter. I was asking because the numbers seemed off to me based on my understanding and I didn't want to be mistaken....

Re: 2012 Open, Regional and Games thread
I was surprised to see the women's weights were approximately a multiplier of .6 to the men's weight. This could be my mistake, but based on "Grace" being a .7 multiplier (135lb x 0.7 = 94.5lb) I...

Re: Looking for a reputable Krav Maga school
Jeff, I second looking at their curriculum. There is so much to be said for de-escalation and avoidance in the first place. Nothing in your wallet is worth your life type stuff.
FWIW, I'd also...

Re: UFC 141-Ubereem wins his Octagon debut
I'm happy to see it because as a lanky guy (6'8" / 220#) I enjoy watching my approximate body type fight since I roll and have trained a little bit of MMA. For a while some years back it seemed you...

Re: Mayhem vs Bisping in TUF

I go in Sep 2nd for a inguinal hernia repair (with mesh). I didn't feel mine when it happened but when showering I looked down and had a "wtf is that?" moment. The day it happened our box WOD had...

Re: Evans v. Ortiz
I was hoping for more from Akiyama since I always root for Judo guys (years of judo here) but I like Belfort too, so that was win-win for me.

Re: Kipping chinup?
I had a labrum tear, from the 12 o'clock to 11 o'clock position (almost a complete SLAP tear). 6 sutures and a long recovery. I was in pretty awful shape then (this was pre-CrossFit). If you have any...

Re: Evans v. Ortiz
Agreed. My dislike for Rashad stems entirely from TUF.
And I also feel Tito's LHW dominance is inflated. He was great for the time (and perhaps that is all that matters) but split decisions over...

Re: Kipping chinup?
Certainly not, which is why at this point I've sworn off the pullup grip. For whatever reason though, the chinup grip feels substantially better and dare I say normal (I don't know why, it just...

We have one in our box purely for comedic purposes.

Re: Kipping chinup?
I thought about mixed grip but was wary of a training imbalance due to only mixing one way to protect my left shoulder. You're certainly right though that mixing allows the push away which is a large...

Re: Evans v. Ortiz
I won't be buying the PPV for this one, it doesn't interest me that much, though I am curious to see how the fight goes. Sherdog play by play for this one.
UFC Rio on the other hand! I can't wait....

Kipping chinup?
Beyond being very tall (6'8") I've struggled with pullups due to a left arm shoulder surgery five years ago (damn BJJ). With a chinup grip my left shoulder doesn't bother me whereas in a pullup grip...
