Grappling Dummies BJJ TV: No Gi British Open 2009 from martial farts on Vimeo.

Team Scramble's little sojourn to Birmingham for the No Gi British Open.

You can see:
My bad form on kettlebells!
Andy's absolute robbery of three points for passing the guard and securing side control that wasn't given!
My not defending a triangle very well!
My serving up my neck on a silver platter for someone!
The inside of a Holiday Inn in Birmingham!
AND MUCH MORE!!!
(Actually not much more.)

  • Reminder: UFC 106 fantasy picks
    Let’s get our fantasy picks in for UFC 106. Members can login and go here to make picks, and anyone not already wearing a Team Fightlinker jersey can get in on the action by following this post’s instructions. For the record, my picks for the aired fights are after the jump: – Tito over Forrest by unanimous [...]
  • Boner alert: Vera/Couture weigh-in photo
    Everyone made weight for the Strikeforce Challengers show tonight. The newsworthy item? This fantastic photo by the great Esther Lin taken after Kerry Vera and Kim Couture got off the scale. It brings up a good question after seeing last weekend’s fight between their husband and guaranteed paycheck, respectively: Who would you rather fight for [...]
  • Story time with Mac Danzig
    Here’s an interesting story from Mac Danzig I read on Sherdog: Seven years ago, I was coming off a decision loss in the WEC that was held in Connecticut. As if a five-hour plane ride back home after a disappointing loss wasn’t miserable enough, Tito Ortiz was sitting directly in front of me. He had been [...]
  • JackalFights: Caol Uno vs. Jean-Jacques Machado
    Here is some good old grappling featuring a guy fighting on Saturday
  • Karo Parisyan gets himself kicked out of the UFC
    I think the tweets from Dana White (via Cage Tater) above are pretty self explanatory. Very little info coming back from Karo, but MMAWeekly has one of those ‘excuses’ Karo gave - the old “It’s the government’s fault” line, with Karo claiming the Nevada State Athletic Commission wouldn’t re-license him until he paid […]
  • Anderson’s elbow is still screwed up
    The UFC headliner trainwreck continues as Anderson Silva sends word that his recently surgerized elbow isn’t healing as quickly as originally expected. “I went to the doctor who takes care of me in Brazil on Monday. I had surgery in the United States but there is communication between the two medical teams. To sum it up, [...]
  • JackalFights: Genki Sudo vs Jackson Page
    More Genki Sudo!
  • Celebrate good times, COME ON!
    Sometimes Jose Aldo like to do the dance, do the dance!
  • Does Karo have his shit together?
    Karo Parisyan has had a pretty shitty two years - he went from being a top contender in a stacked welterweight division to unimpressive headcase in the span of a few fights. This weekend he’s taking on Dustin Hazelett, and I have no doubt that if Karo isn’t the Karo of old he’s gonna have [...]
  • Couture vs Coleman at UFC 109
    Poor Dana White. He’s trying to put together some winning hands here with half the royalty missing from his deck of cards. Considering everything, I think he and Joe Silva are doing decent job with their lemons to lemonade matchmaking. Sure, there’s barely any belt defenses, but we all know why. It’s time to accept [...]

BJJ Aug 19, 22, 24

Last three BJJ sessions went well.
On Tuesday there were not many people but it was a good session. Somebody was visiting from Kyoto. He was either blue or purple (curse my colourblindness!) and was talking about amashu (amateur shooto), and a fairly big chap. People were somewhat reluctant to spar with him, so Tomari-san stepped [...]
