Life at “The Boxing Club”

Gym time. This is where the magic happens. Stick with us and we’ll see how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

The bond between MMA fighters goes beyond the octagon.

Jose Aldo and Chan Sung-Jung recently fought for the UFC featherweight championship this past saturday at UFC 163. It ended when Chan Sung-Jung’s shoulder got horribly dislocated during an errant punch. Jose Aldo didn’t escape unscathed, his right foot was broken in the bout as well. However, there was no ill intent towards either fighter,…

The Boxing Club’s July Fight Night and UFC 162. WTF.

This afternoon, I was able to spend some time with my homies at The Boxing Club during their Fight Night.  I caught some good matches, especially my own Coach, Coach Jessica.  She launched a superman punch during her exhibition match with one of our own muay thai students.  It was awesome. UFC 162 did not…

What’s your reason to train, to fight?

John Wayne Parr is one of the greatest farang nak muay in existence, and his words ring true as to why he fights, despite his age (and I think he just won another championship).  I took this anecdote from his facebook page, where he talked about his reasons to fight. “…..I fight for me, I…

How to train like an MMA Fighter!

As many of you know, I’m currently training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Coach Shannon Gugerty.  He’s got experience as a UFC fighter underneath his belt, and he’s got a wealth of knowledge.  I mean, he is my coach :P.

HYPER CHARGING…single-leg takedown into a kimura?

So GSP is gonna play Batroc the Leaper, in the Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie. That’s all well and good, but I WANT MY BLOODSPORT REMAKE STARRING GSP.  WHAT THE HELL HOLLYWOOD.  PRIORITIES!

SSB vs. @RondaRousey’s Couch

Ronda Rousey, if you don’t know her already, is the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion.  Her finishes?  All via armbar.  And they hurt.  But, she’s a human being like you and me, and she buys stuff off Craigslist. Good luck in all your future fights, Ronda!   We of Strawberry Scented Burnout wish you the best!

SSB vs. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu #3

I don’t even know where to begin.  Other than the fact that I almost creaked my neck during rolling warm-ups, I think I’m slowly getting the hang of BJJ.  I’m doing a lot of rolling with the other students, and they’ve all got a ton of experience.  It really feels like I’ve gotta catch up…
