IRONMAN TRIATHLON CROSS-TRAINING

Recently finished the 2009 Arizona Ironman Triathlon in Tempe Arizona in 12 hours 48 minutes... The course compiled of 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run was challenging and long!
Now having built a great base condition I'm anxious to get back on the mat for some Muy Thai, Jui Jitsu and all the rest.. Ironman and triathlons in general are a great way to supplement your aerobic conditioning as well as you mental toughness... Explore the world of triathlon and see if it can help you and your overall game.

THE SPIRIT OF MMA CROSSES MANY BRIDGES

The spirit off MMA embodies many great qualities none more predominant than COURAGE! This post is dedicated to Navy Petty Officer MIKE MONSOOR winner of the CMH the Congressional Medal Of Honor! :

"I BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS IN THE NEWSPAPER OR ON THE 6 O'CLOCK NEWS" ~ The Sailor Pictured Below Is, Navy Petty Officer, PO2 (Petty Officer, Second Class) EOD2 (Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Second Class) "MIKE MONSOOR" April 5th, 1981 ~ September 29th, 2006 Mike Monsoor, Was Awarded "The Congressional Medal Of Honor" Last Week, For Giving His Life In Iraq , As He Jumped On, And Covered With His Body, A Live Hand Grenade, That Was Accidentally Dropped By A Navy Seal, Saving The Lives Of A Large Group Of Navy Seals That Was Passing By! ~ During Mike Monsoor's Funeral, At Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery , In San Diego , California . The Six Pallbearers Removed The Rosewood Casket From The Hearse, And Lined Up On Each Side Of Mike Monsoor's Casket, Were His Family Members, Friends, Fellow Sailors, And Well-wishers. The Column Of People Continued From The Hearse, All The Way To The Grave Site. What The Group Didn't Know At The Time Was, Every Navy Seal (45 To Be Exact) That Mike Monsoor Saved That Day Was Scattered Through-Out The Column! ~ As The Pallbearers Carried The Rosewood Casket Down The Column Of People To The Grave Side. The Column Would Collapse. Which Formed A Group Of People That Followed Behind. ~ Every Time The Rosewood Casket Passed A Navy Seal, He Would Remove His Gold Trident Pin From His Uniform, And Slap It Down Hard, Causing The Gold Trident Pin To Embed Itself Into The Top Of The Wooden Casket! Then The Navy Seal Would Step Back From The Column, And Sal ute! ~ Now For Those, (And Me) Who Doesn't Know What A Trident Pin Is, Are What It Looks Like? Here Is The Definition And Photo! ~ After One Completes The Basic Navy Seals Program Which Lasts For Three Weeks, And Is Followed By Seal Qualification Training, Which Is 15 More Weeks Of Training, Necessary To Continue Improving Basic Skills And To Learn New Tactics And Techniques, Required For An Assignment To A Navy Seal Platoon. After successful completion, Trainees Are Given Their Naval Enlisted Code, And Are Awarded The Navy Seal Trident Pin. With This Gold Pin They Are Now Officially Navy Seal's! It Was Said, That You Could Hear Each Of The 45 Slaps From Across The Cemetery! By The Time The Rosewood Casket Reached The Grave Site, It Looked As Though It Had A Gold Inlay From The 45 Trident Pins That Lined The Top! This Was A Fitting End To An Eternal Send-Off For A Warrior Hero! This Should Be Front-Page News! Instead Of The Garbage We Listen To And See Every Day. ~ Here's A Good Idea! Since The Main Stream Media Won't Make This News. Then We Choose To Make It News By Forwarding It. ~ I Am Proud Of All The Branches Of Our Military..

MMA CONDITIONING

This is a video I found on Youtube and it was noted on some other sites that looked interesting and after my first set I was certainly convinced of the quality of the workout! Now in my opinion I believe if your cardio fitness is suspect and/or your used to heavy weightlifting this will be a challenging workout. Give it a try as it will leave you humble and wanting more. Remember don't put the bar down until all the exercises are complete. Have fun and have a bucket on the side for when you toss your cookies ;-)

FIGHT YARD
Train like a fighter and test your skills in a fairly controlled environment. Here is Chris, Black shorts dark hair, my son fighting local wrestler undefeated (in the backyard brawl events) Notice the nice display and transitions from Boxing to Muay Thai to Wrestling to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I think he's learned his lessons well over the years. Comment on the techniques as we value any insightful comments of value...

HAWAIIN STYLE VICTORY FOR BJ PENN

BJ PENN defeats Kenny Florian in UFC 101! Penn State is proud. Fight fans are proud. I am overwhelmed with joy! After his disappointing loss to GSP BJ lost some respect from the fight fans in general but like a true champion that he his he picked himself up, dusted himself off and got real serious about winning! Congratulations on a superior performance over a game, highly skilled contender. It's time to party and reflect and celebrate with a true champion.

THE PATH OF KNOWLEDGE

Since my wrestling days in High School I've always liked the Wrestler's Guillotine also know as the Twister in modern Jiu Jitsu. Here's a great video with a solid slow demo of getting to twister from a closed guard. Take note of the tight body position and strategic explanation and terminology it will really help you get this move down.
Happy Grappling and Enjoy!
