OtakuFIGHTER: Fight Night Spring 2014!! (Part 1)

Yesterday marked the first Fight Night event at The Boxing Club, and naturally, I was on hand to take pictures.  And that I did. Mind you, I’m still getting used to this whole camera thing, so my pictures didn’t turn out so well.  Oh well, practice is practice.  I’m going to put a few of…

#otakuFIGHTER No. 2 – Training for a Joe Higashi cosplay.

Currently, I’m trying to burn off the fat and build some muscle for next year’s comic con.  I’m gonna be cosplaying as Joe Higashi from the Fatal Fury/KOF series.  Just in case you needed a quick reminder: And since this requires me to be shirtless, I’ve gotta do this right.  I’ve already increased the intensity…

#otakuFIGHTER No. 1. Yours truly.

From its inception, SSB existed as a geek anomaly.  Refusing to be tied down to the constraints that held down normal geeks, SSB was a webcomic, then a geek website, and now, an all-encompassing site that covers not only geek shit, but other subjects as well.

SSB vs. MUSCLEPHARM:ASSAULT?

As some of you already know, I’m in the middle of getting back into Muay Thai/MMA.  Since I’ve been out for about a year, I needed a little help getting back into the swing of things.  When I first rejoined, I decided to take a Muay Thai ALL LEVELS class at my gym…and I got…

The Turbine From Hell spins in heaven.

                            Ramon Dekkers, you were an inspiration to many.  Especially me.  When I first started Muay Thai a few years ago, I really didn’t have any references, as I had been watching K-1 fights.  Charlie showed me this highlight reel when I…

195 lbs.

Let’s see how low I can get it at the end of lent.

Codename: SWORD

The boys of Almost Good Films and our homies at Jabronie Pictures have prepared another short for us…though all we have is this teaser.  

Muay Thai brings people together. It may sting a little.

I met Anthony Noceda at last year’s SDAFF when he was a facilities coordinator (I think).  The two of us hit it off when we realized that we had something in common.  Muay Thai.  While I started learning Muay Thai purely out of interest in the martial art, Anthony’s actually had some real ringtime.  Check…
