To all my loyal followers I apologize for the absence over the past few months. Where have I been? Well to be honest I've been working on a project that I have kept hush hush until now. I'm pretty close to finishing up my first actual book, making some polishes and a few edits.

This book will absolutely change your game! I'm jamming it full of solutions to problems that guys and gals like you face on a day to day basis in their pursuit of grappling greatness.

If you've ever dealt with pre-match anxiety, stress, doubt or fear then this book is for you. If you have ever wanted to konw what the secret to getting into the 'zone' state of mind for grappling then you will want to get a hold of this.

I'm super excited about it and I've got a goal to make it available asap! I'm hoping before Christmas so that you can hit the ground running in 2013!
 
Stay tuned for more info coming soon! Also stay tuned as there are going to be some more youtube goodies coming up the end of this year too!

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Built to Fight Split Side Anti-Microbial Grip Shorts

On The Mat sponsored the 2008 USA Grappling World Team that I was fortunate enough to be a part of. We competed in Lucerne, Switzerland and Team USA brought home the World Championship! That year’s team consisted of U.S. Grappling superstars Ricky Lundell, Jeff Monson, Jacob Volkmann and Rafael Davis.

OTM was kind enough to provide us with rash guards, shorts and a sweet gi! These particular pieces of equipment have been some of my favorites over the past couple of years so I will share a little
about them.

These shorts have a really cool combination of Gi material along the inseam and a more traditional board short material. The Grip Shorts come with an elasticized draw string in addition to a very secure and sturdy Velcro closure system. Once I put them on I felt very secure there would be no worries of them slipping down or off.

The Gi material is firm but surprisingly comfortable and flexible. I am able to have an added degree of friction because of it and it helps with guard work. I have shrunk mine slightly from putting them in the dryer. Notwithstanding they still keep a nice loose fit. Anyone preferring the original fit could just as easily let them hang to air dry.

These shorts offer a clean and simple design, which I like, however, they are not as flashy as some may prefer. Based on the current trend in coloration and designs out there these shorts seem rather plain looking. They can be jazzed up by ordering the alternating color pattern or adding logos as we had for our US Team shorts. If you’re thinking of a short that looks good and allows room for sponsors to show their support then this is the short for you.
