2019’s first OtakuFighter, Marvin Madariaga

Martial Arts and Creativity seem to go hand-in-hand.  Through my martial arts journey I’ve met some pretty damn creative, whimsical people.  People that make you sit back and think, “yo wtf did that dude just punch that guy into next Tuesday?”. Coach Marvin Madariaga is one of those dudes that definitely rides that line of…

SSB 2016-2017 season

We’re back, for real this time! Yep, sorry about the long wait.  It’s been madness since I came back from Japan.  Ran a marathon sorta, and now….I’m preparing for AX.  There’s a lot of stuff to cover, along with new additions to the team.

OtakuFighter #2 – Meal Plan

Since I’ve started on this journey I’ve dropped 9 lbs.  That’s within a month or so.  Not bad.  I’ve also built up some muscle mass as well, thanks to the training that Coach Jess has been putting me through. I’m sure that you’d like to know what I eat, don’t you?  Here’s a partial breakdown…

OtakuFighter – Reborn!

Being sick of being sick, and constantly watching my weight fluctuate, I decided to take a stand.  2 weeks ago, I’ve started a formal training regimen and diet plan with my fitness coach, Coach Jessica Lopez.  Before I began actually training with her, we had a meeting to discuss my goals, eating habits, and training…

OtakuFighter No. 4. Music!

When I train at The Boxing Club, I usually don’t have time to listen to music.  That and I don’t bring my headphones into the ring for obvious reasons.  During the workout portions where I’m by myself, I usually have a playlist of songs that I listen to.  Right now it’s mostly J-Rock.  Or is…

#otakuFIGHTER No. 3 – The training environment is important!

I’m quite sure I’ve mentioned it past entries, but just in case you’ve forgotten, I train at The Boxing Club in La Jolla, CA.  The trainers there are all friendly, though they can be pretty strict.  At times, they remind me of the masters at Ryouzanpaku, of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple.  And they’ve all got…

#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. And so I ask you, what defines a geek?…
