Are Energy Drinks for you? Since 1997 when Red Bull was first introduced to the market,energy drinks have become a staple in America’s diet. Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar, are just a fewthat you will see in the hands of Athletes, MMA Fighters, Trainers, Boxers,Adults, Teens and even pre-teens; look in the recycle bin of your localtraining facility and you will find several empty containers of energydrinks. Energy drinks are consumed onthe drive to the gym to train, at the gym before training, during training andon the way home from training. |

Why is a Manager necessary for MMA Fighters and Boxers? When an amateur MMA Fighter or Boxer turns pro they havetheir Coach/Trainer in their corner, preparing the Fighter for their profighting debut, but who is behind the scene preparing the Fighter for the businessof being a professional Boxer or MMA Fighter? Often it is the Coach/Trainer who books the fight, negotiates thecontracts and everything else is left to the Fighter to take care of himself. Academy of Striking and Grappling over the past 8 years hastaken many amateur and pro Boxers and MMA Fighters to compete in fights bothlocally and throughout the United States, each and every time a Fighter for ASGcompetes not only is the Coach/Trainer there, but the Manager is also thererepresenting the Fighters. |

To be a good competitor is all I have to dois learn the skills and I will become a champion from there. In gyms throughout the world you will find athletes practicingtheir skills; as they say practice makes perfect, but is that true? Should it be perfect practice makes perfect. |

For every competitor there is a Coach by their side helping thatcompetitor to reach its goals of being a Boxer, Wrestler, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsuor MMA champion. Is it really known asto what part the coach actually plays in the competitor’s life? We are all aware that the coach is there toteach technique, to condition that athlete, to coach when they are sparring,rolling or wrestling depending on the art, to be in the corner when thecompetitor competes, to provide first aid when needed, to believe in the competitorsability when they do not believe in themselves, to instill unbeatable confidenceand basically to prepare the fighter to compete; this we all know, but whatother part does a coach play in a competitor‘s life? |

Are wrestlers taking over MMA Fighting? Why do MMA Fighters with a wrestling background hold more titles in the UFC then MMA Fighters who do not have a wrestling background? Sixty-five percent of the twenty UFC fighters who have reached round twelve in the NCAA tournament and beyond have been awarded fights for UFC titles. (By Mike Riordan on Jun 19 2012, Do Better Wrestlers Make Better Fighters?) There are currently more top ranked now or former MMA Fighters who have a wrestling background as compared to MMA Fighters who do not have a wrestling background. |

It does not matter if you are a local, Moreno Valley, California MMA Fighter or if you are a World Class MMA fighter the training should always be the same, intense, long, hard and satisfying. There are 1,000’s of MMA Fighters but only 1% of those fighters will become World Class Fighters and the reason for that is the hard work that is required to be in the top 1%. MMA Fighters, Boxers, Wrestlers anyone who wants to fight must understand that it is a full-time job to train to be the best. Fighting, competition becomes your first priority everything else must take a backseat to your training. |

Had something funny happen this week, had a visitor asking if he could try a day of training with our local MMA Inland Empire fighters and I said sure, go right ahead. He said that he was a pro fighter who has had several MMA fights throughout Southern California and had even fought in some major venues, great. This gives me the opportunity to see how my fighters do against someone with experience. He started in our 3rd class of the day, my MMA fighters had already trained in two classes before this one. |
