Spartan Fit book coming out soon! Plus discount on Spartan races!

Joe DeSena’s new book "Spartan Fit!" comes out this summer. I have lots of jiu jitsu friends and sambo friends who do tough mudder and Spartan-type races. This book is a great training and motivational tool.

All of the info including the first chapter download (Free!) is here:

If you like what you read, you can (and should) pre-order it HERE:  http://bit.ly/spartanfit_preorder

I have SO much respect for people who run these Spartan races. They are tough! One of my good friends, a Caio Terra blackbelt near Dallas, runs these suckers and he's pretty addicted. Talk about functional fitness.

You can hunt for a Spartan race in your area by going here.

And if you use the code SPARTANBLOGGER you will get 10% off your entry fee.

Interview with BJJPIX photographer William Burkhardt

Image
William Burkhardt is the photographer behind BJJPIX, and has more than once dipped his toe into a sea of controversy.  First, with his "Hot or Not" postings on facebook this past January: Next, with his sexy photoshoot with San Francisco purple belt Jena Sapinoso: I did a little looking at his other work including his facebook page and it's clear he's quite talented.  (He was named 2014 BJJ Photographer of the Year .) It also seems to me that he has an interesting attitude towards women... not only for his views on sexualization of women in jiu jitsu, but also the arguable objectification of women in these examples, and because of his wholehearted support of the "PUA" pick up artist/seduction artist community. If you look at William's facebook page, you can see he's attending/listening to pay-per-view broadcasts of "Seductive Instinct" lessons taught by Arash Dibazar .  William filmed a promotional clip he refers to as a  "document...

Enormous jiu jitsu class makes it into the Guinness Book! And personal update...

I found an article about the top ten coolest martial arts records in the Guinness book, and one of them dealt with jiu jitsu-- the largest BJJ class ever.  Thought you might be interested! I haven't trained hardly at all in the last 3 months. I swear I'm going back but it's been so hard with my work schedule. I am going to ask for an extended lunch so I can go to the noon class.  I get off at four p.m. and evening class starts at seven, so it's just hard to motivate myself to stay at work late, and my house is the opposite direction from the academy (with work in the middle.) So I know I'm making excuses, but... there it is. Edited to add: Thanks y'all for your words of encouragement and support! I was approved for a 2 hour lunch, hooray! Yeah, given that I prefer coming in to work at the obscenely early hour of 530-6am, there was no possibility of doing the morning class. And going to the academy to roll or drill for an hour or two before class at night wasn...

Guest review by Matt Corley (Jiu Jitsu Magazine): the Lanky FG gi

Image
Intro I’m starting this review with a slight tangent.  I started reviewing gis almost 5 years ago.  The main reason that I began reviewing is that it took entirely too much effort for me to find a gi that actually fit.  At 6’4” and 200 pounds very few gis fit me correctly.  A3s came down to my forearms and A4s were big enough to cover two people.  Jiu jitsu is hard enough when you’re just starting.  Having a gi that fits like a muumuu wasn’t helping.  I knew I wasn’t the only one having this problem so I started to research companies that made gis with different cuts to review. Five years later I rarely write gi reviews.  To be perfectly honest, I hate to do them.  They’re tedious work and take quite a bit of time to do correctly.  I’ll let you in on another secret.  The only thing that I really care about for my gis is fit.  That’s it.  I’m perfectly happy with a plain gi that fits great.  I’ll wear a gi with patches...
