Hi All,

Anyone training in MMA here? Or BJJ?

Pound for pound, Anderson Silva is the best atm.

I see you are a hardcore fan. Yup, I agreed with you re P4P Fedor rules, but maybe that's coz he has fought longer, so more wins for him. Given time, Anderson should overtake him if he maintain (or improve!) his current form.

Anderson vs Cung Le will be fun to watch, for those who like to see a bloodied slaugther!!

You are rite again bro re Anderson vs Lyoto, not only they are in different weight class, they also have a close bond and friendship because both of them came from the Black House, an elite group of fighters.

Yup, Khoo Meng Yang "The Red Dragon" and another good kickboxer, my friend, Alex Lim trains in TNT. Their coaches/advanced level trains hard like a typical competition kickboxing gym. But normal students normally do bags, padworks and mitts, not sure they spar or not.

Hi Chow, if you are interested to train MMA, come to our gym in Bangsar, http://www.kdta.com

They should be another one in Kota Damansara called Crush MMA, http://www.crushmma.com

Hi Takeshi,

Sorry to hear about your injury. There are few good sport doctors in Pantai Medical Bangsar and Gleneagle Ampang. Ask around, or call them up.

Meanwhile, perhaps you might want to consider trying a "tih-tar" therapist. Read this testimony by my gym mate here:

"i busted my right knee again while playing basketball on monday and my right knee was double the size of my left. ill be sitting out on the coming wed class as well.

oh! through this ordeal, i came across a superb Tit Tar master! let me elaborate a lil...
injury on monday but went to 1 random tit tar on tuesday which did the whole works on my knee, from acupuncture to the 'urut' to a round glass thingie that sucks on your skin... whole process took me 3 frigging hours (excruciatingly painful). told me to come back everyday for a week (RM55 each session). the following day my right leg was constricted from the thigh to the ball of my foot.

a colleague recommended me to this tit tar master in sri petaling (requires booking) i kinda went w/o any bookings but was lucky that he had a free time slot. he said my injury was due to my spine alignment not my knees. he even polaroids the picture for me to see (b4 n after). all it took him was 20 mins of swift, kung-fu movements on my leg n back and i was back on my feet walking normally... miraculous!! but there's a price... cost me RM350! but well worth it as he mentions i need not revisit him a 2nd time. the first guy guy i went to requires me to revisit him another 5-6 times which would have rounded up to the same amount.

btw he didnt pay me for any advertising if you must know... just that if you have sustained any injury, i would highly recommend this guy to you."

Put ice on it, compress and release. See GP doctor to get some painkillers, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammation pills.

Some specialists here:

Try to get a reference letter from your GP before seeing a specialist.

All the best!

Well, I guess he is more keen to on the money he can potentially gain as a BJJ BB. Still, you have to respect a Purple in BJJ coz even a white belt with few mths of training can tap BBs from other arts easily.

With so much interest in BJJ/MMA nowadays, it's a matter of time before things get diluted and McDojos sprung up everywhere...

I late starter mah...

Seriously, I started MA coz I was almost mugged in Jakarta years ago. Now, I thoroughly enjoy it, just like the way some people enjoy golfing or tennis.

U wanna drop by our gym, PM me.

Drop by our place, KDTA (address below). We have Twins, Kings, Fairtex, Oriental etc. Read more about the latest gloves here: http://kdta.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-boys.html

I think TNT Kickboxing probably have choices on AAA Fightgear and BoxxTomoi too.

May I know where are you learning Muay Thai?

Ya bro, my gym is KDTA.

We don't have pure Muay Thai but it is incorporated as primary component of Crazy Monkey Defense. Our founder Rodney King has trained many years in Thailand under Apidej Sit-Hirun, and is authorised to teach under his name.

This is the same program used by World Professional Muay Thai Champion and Muay Khmer Champion Adam Kayoom, and TUF 1 Champ, World No. 2 Light Heavyweight Fighter & former UFC LHW Champ, Forrest Griffin when he was training under Hardcore Gym in US.

4 components of the CMDP® are:
1. CMD® kick boxing (Muay Thai based modified for MMA)
2. BJJ - Monkey Jits (under BJJ Black Belts Rodney King and Rigan Machado)
3. Cinch work
4. CMD-MMA (combination of strikes and grappling)
5. CIA - Combat Intelligent Athlete *available in Aug 09

If you are a fan of UFC, Rampage was seen using the CM Defense vs Wanderlei menacing punches. See below:



We also offer BJJ under our affilliation with John Will of BJJ Australia. Hope to see you around soon.

Ya, saw that fight sometime back. Jo Stevenson was not at BJ Penn level. But I somehow sensed Big Daddy wasn't his best that day, perhaps due to inexperience or lack of mental fortitude vs an opponent as fearsome as The Prodigy.

Still, gotta give the man kudos for hanging on the fight despite being bloodied on the whole face.

Yup man I'm in KL, where else can you get CM except from KDTA and Studio 23? Oh ya, maybe in Trinity Self Defense in KK.

Please send Bert my best regards. Thanks.

Anderson, Machida, Wanderlei, Vitor Belfort all ex-Black House fighters, all skillful figthers.

Dat's coz they are intelligent fighters. Their game is typically luring opponents into playing their strong game. Anderson like backtracks before releasing punch, kick and clinch-knee combos. Machida takes full advantage of his in-outs and fast jab to counterpunch his opponents into frustration until they make a big mistake for him to prey on.

I admit I like the way the Iceman or Axe Murderer fights but it quite attributes-based. A strong chin helps of course.

Thanks to everyone who loaded videos of the latest fights. Really enjoyed them.

Sorry man, Tapout buy online.


Guys, I think it'll be very interesting to see Anderson vs Lyoto = elusive striker vs accurate puncher. Fight of the century!

Though I love Anderson Silva & his fighting style (which is ain't human), I'll root for Dan Henderson if the fight happens.

Here's the fight. Too bad Carano lost, she's such a good looking gal.

Ya, that dumbfounded me too. My guess - Gina was gassing out.

I think Gina has more power in her punches but simply failed to use it. Cyborg landed quite a few but Gina soaked it up. The difference - Cyborg was way more aggressive so she took the upperhand and blasted till Gina folded (mentally & physically). Sad day indeed.

Great take. But it's frightening to see how Brock brought down Couture & dismantled Mir. His skills are fast improving to be on par with his strength, size & speed. Once that happened, he will be unstoppable barring the appearance of another powerful "freak" like Anderson Silva in the heavyweight.

Much as I dislike him, looks like he going to be No.1 for a loooooooong time.
