Some of the hottest items right now are from the Sprawl and Jaco brands and along with that we have also added a couple pair of MMA shorts to our MMA Shorts section. Both these shorts are great looking shorts but are also fully functional in the ring or octagon whether you are in a tournament, event, or match.
The Sprawl/Century MMA shorts are some of the most unique shorts out on the market right now. Both Sprawl and Century MMA put their teams together and worked on coming up with the best MMA short they could create without any limits and this is their creation.

As a martial artist Christmas time is a wonderful opportunity to swap out some of your old nasty gear for some new MMA Gear. There are a lot of great products on the market right now like we mentioned on our first MMA Gear Christmas list and if you are looking to get something for that martial artist on your list then I will show you the place and roughly how much you are going to have to shell out. If you are looking for a Gi, MMA shorts, MMA gloves, head gear, and more then make sure to continue reading this Christmas martial arts buying guide.
So you want to get a mixed martial arts book, but aren’t really sure which one would be the best. That’s totally understandable with the hundreds of books sitting on the shelves at your local bookstore, meaning that picking one is going to be a bit overwhelming. The good thing about buying a book though is getting to look at the reviews and hear what others have got to say about it. Now I have read a lot of books in my time and my martial arts library is pretty fat, but out of all of the ones I own I would definitely say that my BJ Penn book is one that everyone needs in their library.
Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge by BJ Penn is a wonderful book for both beginners as well as advanced students. BJ Penn is a true champion and ambassador of the sport, so why wouldn’t you want to know what he has to say? This book is pretty comprehensive in what it covers and gives you just enough to get a little taste of what MMA is about. Now don’t expect to be the future champion just from reading this book. BJ’s book is a tool to be used alongside your training, and not the end all resource that is going to make you a black belt.

When someone begins their journey as an athlete, and especially as a martial artist, he or she often puts all their time and energy into the physical aspect of training. But so much more goes into becoming a champion in any sport. What is even more important for martial artists and boxers is the psychology component. Training for a fight goes far beyond the physicality. In fact, it has been said that fighting is 90% mental. So, if the mind is not focused and in tune with the body, it doesn’t matter what kind of shape you’re in, you will not succeed in obtaining greatness, become a world class athlete or a top notch champion.
Beginners to the world of martial arts often make many mistakes when it comes to training methods, nutrition, vitamins and supplements, and learning to balance their professional life as a fighter and their personal life. There are also several experienced fighters who often still get it wrong when it comes to what will help them bring their game up another notch in order to wear a championship belt around their waist. So, to help martial artists achieve success in the ring or cage and in life, here are 10 books and reviews that every fighter should own.
I was able to get a sneak peak at the new MMA movie, “Warrior,” opening on September 9th. Warrior has everything MMA fans are used to: a high school teacher turned MMA star, a war veteran-turned-fighter, a stoic Russian MMA machine, a mohawked brawler, a seedy manager, a famed trainer and an underdog story, what more can you ask for?
“Warrior” (Lionsgate) might appear to be a close relation of mindlessly bellicose fodder for example “Conan the Barbarian,” the exploitative retread unleashed by Lionsgate the 2009 summer. In truth, “Warrior” is a poignant, well-acted sports drama about fraternal discord and ties between fathers and sons.
Most of you have no doubt seen the hit TV show MTV Cribs where the rich and famous show off their homes. So many have indoor basketball courts or movie theaters, OK, so that´s nice, but who has their own fully kitted out dojo? Even if it doesn´t get you on MTV Cribs, having your own dojo at home will certainly be a hit with your friends and family and best of all it means you can get some serious training done at home. Plus next time your friends are bragging about how much better they are than the fighters on the next Saturday night UFC fight, you have the perfect place to duke it out and see who really has the skills.
