MMA Options

[Psykopath]

We usually meet every Friday at 2:00 pm in the Rec's big mat room (first floor). If it's already taken, then we'll meet in the top floor corner mat area.

No-gi grappling, although we'll start incorporating strikes soon.

Turnout is usually rather light, unfortunately (2-4 people). But it's still fun and a great workout.

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

I need to go and learn some grappling.

My grappling skills are limited to the armbar and a couple chokes (and I have to get lucky to pull any of those off)

It's the one section in Tao of Jeet Kune Do I never really did much on.

[Psykopath]

I love ankle locks, toe holds, and leg/knee bars. Not too heavily emphasized in America, as far as grappling goes (mostly in in Japanese jiu jitsu).

I need to work on my takedown defense

Besides just trying to be agile, the only thing I've ever really used was a knee to the face.

i'd be interested in joining if i'm not asleep. gimmie a message or call my cell when you're gonna go.

[jwttu]

what type of experience do you have to have to come. I have done some martial arts but its been a long time

[Psykopath]

no experience is really necessary. you have some, so that is good though. We usually watch some of the bas rutten instructional series and practice those holds for a bit, then we grapple for a while.

Heh, we had a couple of police recruits show up a few weeks ago. They saw us rolling and thought it was cool so they asked to spar. They essentially kept trying to punch us, use small joint manipulation, pressure points, etc. We told them that it's just grappling, but they kept going hardcore.
So we preceeded to tap them with armbars and guillotine chokes and the like. Fun times...

BTW: Obviously, we are amatuers here. Anyone's welcome to come out and learn a few moves, get a good workout, and just have some fun.





I'm going to submit Cathryn a minimum of 50 painful times on Friday at her house, if she'll let me!

how long do you go for?

[edit] do you also have waivers for injuries?

what does mma stand for, are we supposed to magically know? you might get some more people to join your club if they know what the damn thing is.

Are you that lazy to read the thread?

[Seeker]

Are you that lazy to read the thread?

I know it has something to do with martial arts, and in all probability part of MA stands for Martial Arts, but where in the thread does it say what MMA stands for? What is the extra M for? I've read through it and I fail to see where this term is defined.

Psykopath started the thread out listing meetings times and what not, but why does he assume everyone in the world knows what an MMA club is?

[M1N10N]

what an MMA club is?

Remember back when we were taking the TAAS? Use context clues!

"I love ankle locks, toe holds, and leg/knee bars. Not too heavily emphasized in America, as far as grappling goes (mostly in in Japanese jiu jitsu). "

[Seeker]

Read my post right above yours dumbass.

[Psykopath]

[edit] do you also have waivers for injuries?

We usually roll for 1-2 hours, depending on how many people show up, obviously the more the better. Each rolling session with a partner generally goes until one is able to submit the other, no real time limit

No injury waivers. Like I said, we aren't an 'official' sports club yet. We'll have to go through bureaucratic hell to make it so.
If you have a mouthguard and cup, that'll help. Trust me, we aren't trying to kill people here. We generally know each others limits/strengths and such. We'll make sure no injuries occur.

I'll admit though, don't be phased by a bloody nose or a busted lip or "mat burn." That stuff happens often, not all the time, but often.

Eric TEH SEXY showed up. :-P

Myself and another guy, John Billington, rolled for a bit. Sucks that we couldn't go longer, but he's been having heart problems (palpatations) lately.
And another guy who showed up regularly recently lost his mom. :'(

But, I'll get my brother to show next week, Eric says he'll be there, John B. will show, and so others need to come on over to the rec !!!

[moebary]

Won't be there tomorrow, turns out I'm leaving tomorrow at noon for spring break. But I will be there the week after (and I'll probably be bringing my brother along).

That's cool, man. Have a great spring break!

[Psykopath]

No-gi sparring this Friday, 2pm in the rec big mat room (or upstairs on the corner mats if the room is taken).

You'll spot me via the camo fight shorts. Come on out and have fun/a great workout!

I should be there, my brother might go also but he's been having problems with his knee and he has rugby.

[Psykopath]

Thanks Eric and your brother Scott for coming yesterday. My brother and perhaps a couple others may show next time. Try to invite others as well! The more the merrier.
I'll also be sure to bring my laptop so we can watch some of the Bas Rutten mma instructionals. And perhaps we can incorporate some light striking if you want? Also, show me how to properly kick. =)

[moebary]

it was fun, I'll try to recruit some more people for next week

and sure thing on the light striking

mine are pretty much like these except a different brand and no padding on the thumb

I also have 12oz sparring gloves, but those are more like traditional boxing gloves

[Psykopath]

Hell, bring both pairs.

The grappling ones will work though, considering we aren't going to strike full tilt this Friday.

[FORSAKENR320]

the only gloves i have are lead powder filled...


light striking is not an option

I'll bring my laptop along with some of the Bas Rutten training tapes.
Work grappling techniques from video, determine what will be acceptable striking limits (force, location, and the like), full-contact-sparring for those that wish to do so or no-gi rolling for those that don't want to strike.

I'd like to work a couple of take-downs as well. Just a personal preference. :-P

[Psykopath]

Nice turnout today.

Me, Eric, Scott, John, Blake, Seth (only me and Eric are forum members, fyi).
Watched some Bas Rutten takedowns and then rolled the rest of the time. Holding off on the striking until we all have protective equipment.

Damn big muscley menz making me tap to their SPINE cranks...owie.

Sternum and spine are in some insane pain.

... (*yet again*)

Those of us that have had formal training are not looking to beat people up. We're looking to get others to train/learn with us. We watch training tapes and work the submissions/takedowns, etc. for about 30 minutes-1 hour and then we have freestyle grappling for about another hour.

Show up tomorrow, it's a great workout and nobody is out to hurt anyone else. We all just want to improve our fighting abilities. Eric (Moebary) and his brother Scott started showing up a few weeks ago. Neither had any grappling ability beforehand, but they are learning fast and are enjoying their time on the mat!

[Spectatrix]

This would be fun to go to if I were still in Lubbock... ah well, c'est la vie...

[Psykopath]

Just letting those that attend know that I will NOT be there this Friday.

Birthday stuff and all that jazz.

may not be there today, depends on how much I get done in my 1pm class, may have to stay and work

I love when Charles shows up. Bastard is pretty damn good! Heh, I almost went unconscious from that triangle choke. And that one guy that was there (forgot his name =( ) had a good suggestion about applying for Rec Center money in order to host a submission grappling tournament.

...may very well look into this.

Also: During the summer, I plan on working out hardcore (I'll finally have time to do so!).

So if anyone wants to get a workout group together, maybe we can sign up to use the Rec in the summer (I'll already be good to go for Summer 2)?...We could use the mats for extra rolling time that way.

[Psykopath]

Summer 2 is when I'll start hitting the Rec again to keep up the rolling.

Saturdays good for those interested?

[Spectatrix]

Ya know, Zach, even if you aren't registered for Summer 1, you should still be able to use the rec if you're registered for Summer 2 and/or Fall.

I'll try sometime in the next week.

Pretty sure your rec/thompson hall eligibility remains active over the summer so long as you're registered for the previous spring and following fall.

Oh my bad... http://www.depts.ttu.edu/recsports/membership/fees.php

•Students currently enrolled in Summer School who have paid the Recreation Fee can utilize all facilities upon presentation of a valid picture I.D.
•Students not enrolled for the summer but who have proof of enrollment for the 2006 Fall semester can purchase a summer pass for $60 ($30 each summer session).
•Students not enrolled for the first summer session but who have proof of enrollment for the second summer session can purchase a summer pass for the first five week session ($30).

Well weekends are best for me.

Saturday: anytime
Sunday: after 4pm

Weekdays I usually train 2-3 hours everyday. (T/TR- 7pm- around 9ish, MWF- 6-8 or 9ish)
Plus weekdays I am usually on campus until 5 everyday except Wednesday.

Could you handle a weekend time?

can't say yet, might be out of town if Tropical Storm Ernesto decides to make landfall along the US coast

[Psykopath]

forgot to update this thread, but I went up to the rec and sparred with the group again this afternoon.

Looking like we'll meet up there again next Friday evening/night in the Rec big mat room if anyone else wants to join and learn a thing or two.

Long time no post in this thread.

Looks like I'll have my first MMA fight on Saturday March 24th in Hobbs, New Mexico.

[Mommy]

GOOD LUCK!

[Rocky]

My family is from Hobbs.


I'm gonna bet you are fighting a mexican !


Fight strong young warrior.

[Dogmeat]

Yeah dude kick some ass and good luck ... I wish I could go watch ....

[FORSAKENR320]

:: punchkickchoke ::


:: molesterbate ::

[Psykopath]

So....NOT fighting on March 24th.
1.) The fights are only kickboxing...I'd prefer to fight MMA, but I wouldn't mind a stand-up match.

2.) (the real reason I'm not fighting) The event is UNSANCTIONED. That's basically the equivalent of pulling people off of the street to fight and charging admission. No doctor/medical staff at ringside and nothing (win/lose/draw) goes on any record. FUCK THAT
You can also be barred from fighting by state athletic commissions if they find out you fight in an unsanctioned event.

I will be participating in a submission wrestling/jiu jitsu tournament Feb. 24th in Dallas though. Should be fun.
And there are several SANCTIONED events coming up in the near future here in Texas...looking at fighting in one in April.

[Psykopath]

Tournament idea is scrapped...can't afford the $50 for the tourney, gas to and from Dallas, and hotel at the moment.



Anyways, I'm going to start helping Brandon, Glen, and others get into shape with MMA stuff if anyone else would care to join.

So.....


Turns out the Hobbs/Mar. 24th fight may still be on for me. My coach contacted the promoter and had him clarify the specs of the event. Turns out it is sanctioned by New Mexico and MMA fights are on the card.

Hell Yes.

That's how amateur competitions go, unfortunately. We'll still be driving to Hobbs to support the 4 members of our team fighting (mostly in kickboxing bouts).

quick question...what makes this the texas tech MMA club? Is this sanctioned by the school?

or do you just call it that because you go to tech?

that sucks

[Psykopath]

well shitbat, this is the same day as that concert I'm going to this week

Yeah, I know.

Pissed me off but I need this fight.

[Psykopath]

So, fight is on Friday in Carlsbad. Yay, hope my opponent doesn't back out again.

And in just 10 days I've gone from 178 to 169 lbs.! Replacing dinner with a big tuna sandwich really did the trick.

[Psykopath]

Well, I'm now 0-1 as in I lost.

I weighed in at 170lbs, 5'11". My opponent was probably 6'1" or 6' and weighed in at 185lbs.
It was one hell of a fight though...fight of the night by far. We went the full 3 rounds at 3 minutes each and it was a draw, so they gave us a 2 minute OT round which we also fought through to the end. Funny thing, the fight only went to the ground once (I reversed a hip toss into the mount...or no, he through a high kick and fell, that's what it was...but the ref stood us up after like 10 seconds, even though I was landing some punches). The rest of the time it was a non-stop kickboxing match =P .

My opponent won round 1, I won round 2, round 3 was...I guess the draw round although even strangers in the crowd thought I won it. All and all my opponent grabbed the W with a flurry in the 10 sec of OT that probably swayed the judges in his favor.

So a loss by a very very split decision.

Heh, I even landed a couple of hard headkick roundhouses.

Gotta work on my straight punches. I threw too many looping bombs...got overexcited I guess, this being my first fight.
I should have the video posted by next week.

My face looks like hamburger, nose is broken (again), and I'm sore as hell. My opponent won't walk straight for a while, I left a nice black welt on his left leg from all the leg kicks, and his face had some contusions.

Again, one hell of a fight that got a standing ovation.

yeah, 'twas a fun night, minus the face rape.

Glad we didn't go to the post-fight after party at the "Post-Party Saloon" (I think that's what it is called). It's run by the Bandidos, and always has trouble. Last night we drove by it after the fights...police tape, many cop cars and ambulances. Fun

You got the Mongolian beat out of you! I want to see one of your fights if I am over there sometime!

Thanks. Yeah, his leg was nice and black after the fight.

what's your opponents record?

I honestly don't know. He told me after the fight that that was his second fight (2-0 record).

He was telling people before the fight that that was his 6th fight.

Yay for the little uncertainties of the amateurs.

[James]

If I'm looking at this video right, you're gonna either jam or break your toes sooner or later with some of those kicks. It looks like you're not getting your foot completely straight on the rounds.

That was a nice head shot in round 3 though.
