How to Choose the best MMA Shorts for Mixed Martial Arts Training

Question: What kind of shorts should I buy for MMA?

Hayabusa Black Kyoudo Fight Shorts
Hayabusa Black Kyoudo Fight Shorts

Answer: Any shorts that have a drawstring, no pockets, and no metal or plastic on the outside are perfectly fine. The drawstring will keep your shorts secure. Pockets are dangerous because somebody’s fingers or toes can get caught in them. And any metal or plastic can cut or hurt your training partner.

A Body Part Often Overlooked – The Foot

Posted on 24 March 2010 by Tony Thacker

Building stronger feet is much more important than you think. If you are a martial arts practitioner you may immediately think of breaking boards when building stronger feet is mentioned. Of course conditioning the feet can help in these feats, especially if you move to breaking thicker boards or concrete blocks. One way to help this is to wear martial arts shoes which give your foot more flexibility and movement than traditional shoes.  However clearly your feet support your whole body. So, having stronger feet alone in fact has proven to enable you to lift much heavier weights.

Beyond that of course if you ever hope to jump into the UFC octagon your feet are what have to hold you up during those long grueling rounds. Not to mention better foot and ankle strength may help you avoid being tapped out in some locks and submission holds. So how do you build stronger feet? This can be done both with exercise and conditioning.

Who Else Wants to Learn How Clothes Can Make Life Easier!

Posted on 24 February 2010 by Tony Thacker

How MMA Shirts Can Make Life Easier This might seem like a joke at first, but this is

for real. Wearing MMA clothes can really make your life easier in many ways. For those of you who haven’t experienced it yourself get some new threads, whether it’s a Tapout T-shirt, some American Fighter shorts or a UFC baseball cap and see how it works. The UFC and MMA is so loved by people of both sexes and of all ages it is the topic of so many random conversations these days from the supermarket to the post office. So using your MMA clothes as an icebreaker you can meet new people and get what you want easier. This also works great with women. Of course women all love clothes and may compliment you any way, but this makes it easier.

Wearing your Tapout, Hitman, or Throwdown gear or other MMA inspired clothing wherever you go will no doubt generate the opportunity for a lot of conversations and meeting new people. This usually starts with them asking if you are a real UFC or MMA fighter – a great opener for getting a fun rapport going with the opposite sex, and hey if they think you are tough too, what’s the harm. This also works exceedingly well outside of the US and Canada where these types of MMA clothes are more rare.
