The World of MMA - BJJ in My Eyes (May Bonus Article)

Submitted by William Vandry on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 12:37

Fighters. The great Randy Couture. The great Rickson Gracie. Royce Gracie in the early UFC’s. We view fighters with different perspectives. Fedor Emelianenko, arguably MMA’s top fighter in the world devastated Tim Silvia within 36 seconds, and Andre Arlovski almost as easy. These are just a handful of great mixed martial arts fighters in the world who have proven their worth not just in the ring or the octagon, but through their mouth as well.

God stuff: How can Christians be involved in MMA such a violent sport?

Submitted by Pastor_Robert on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 12:04

Recently many people outside of our school, and most times who have not trained have asked me, “How is it that you a pastor, a man of God, trains mix martial arts?” Just this weekend someone asked how Christians can involve themselves in such a violent sport.

Well in my view violence is generated through ignorance. The people I have enjoyed training with over the years, and the school I have enjoyed training at have not exposed me, or my children, who also train, to violence.

My name is Lee Ann Urban, and I am the Founder of “UrbanWind” Fitness Coaching in Austin, Texas.  I have been involved in the fitness industry for the last 20 years; my background includes training and competing in the sport of competitive body building (5 years).  In January of 2008, I became a student of “Vandry Brazilian Jiu Jitsu” (BJJ) in Austin.  The articles that I will be writing will include all aspects of fitness and how I believe they relate to BJJ.
