John K: Martial Arts & Naked at the Pool
2008-09-19 21:45:00 John K. is one of those rare models that appear on Allamericanguys thanks in part to his slightly off-beat personality, in the vein of models like Eric D.John is originally from Texas but now resides in Florida. He enjoys contact sports and is currently on a mixed martial arts team. He also loves football (played running back during high school) and wrestling. When not in school or playing sports John enjoys hanging out with his friends and is usually the life of the party, especially if women are around. He claims to love being naked at pool parties, but we still haven't had a chance to witness that yet.Look for John in possible future "ink" publications. He is proud of his tattoos and each has a significant meaning to him.Hobbies: Mixed martial artsFavorite movies: Transporter 2Favorite food: SpaghettiFavorite sport: UFCFavorite color: BlueMost admired body part: AbdominalsJohn K. and Steve S.You find many high quality photos and videos with John K. on Allamericanguys.

Ex-wrestler transitions to mixed martial arts

Moss Elementary.So although Begnaud, known as Redd Dogg Rodney Mack in fighting circles, may not officially have any ultimate fighting experience, he's not at all concerned about looking like a fish out of water when he makes his MMA debut at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lafayette vs. The World ultimate fighting card at Blackham Coliseum...More?source: theadvertiser.com

2008-05-31 18:20:00 'I did not live with the pandas. ... I just grew out my beard,' Black says of his preparation for the film.By Shawn Adler Jack Black Photo: MTV News "You want me to do some kung fu?" Jack Black teased an excited audience member, who had stepped up to the mic looking for some real moves. "OK, just a taste." The crowd came for a taste but wound up getting the full-course meal, complete with a kicking (and punching and twirling and jumping) dessert, as MTV's Sneak Peek Week continued with a screening of Black's "Kung Fu Panda" on Friday night at the Paramount Studios Lot. The animated story of a panda waiter who winds up a master fighter was followed immediately after by a Q&A with Black himself. "Important note," he added, sitting down after his demonstration and picking up his personal items from the table. "If someone's gonna fight you, remember to take out your wallet!" Black's hands may be "fast as lightning" (when the heck did he take out his wallet?) but they w...

Training for longevity with Martial Arts Gear
2008-05-05 17:07:00 Training gear enables you to stand the test of time in the martial arts. The first thing you learn is to have a solid foundation of the martial arts basics. Martial Arts has hundreds, if not thousands of years of foundation to build upon. It all started with the basic movements. Martial arts are systems of practices and traditions of training for combat. Broadly speaking, the foundation of martial arts share a single objective: to defeat a person physically or to defend oneself from physical threat.During times when I teach womens self-defense and karate classes there is always a need for equipment. I have used many vendors for my Martial Arts Gear over the last 20+ years. One of my largest suppliers of martial art equipment is AWMA. AWMA.com carries a wide variety of heavy bags to sparring gear. Their Martial Arts Gear includes karate uniforms, karate sparring gear, karate training devices to heavy workout bags at prices that are very affordable. From ...

Life Lessons From Martial Arts
2008-04-28 05:07:00 Some little things that I've noticed that apply to both fighting and life for everybody:-Sometimes attacking is a great way to defend.-The more you pretend to know, the chance that any random Joe will mess with you decreases, but the chance that someone that knows what he or she is doing will call you out on your BS and wreck your shit grows exponentially.-Position before Submission. (BJJ mantra)-Being too stubborn to tap out when you should can stroke one's ego, but only indicates a lack of skill and maturity to everyone else watching. It also results in a lot of broken limbs.-Technique really is more important than strength, but anyone who uses that fact to justify a lack of strength probably doesn't have that great of technique, either.(similarly...)-Being much smaller or much, much larger really is a big disadvantage. Don't bitch, don't excuse yourself, figure out how to work around it.-Tradition is not an excuse for stupidity.-When imposing your will doesn't work against ...

Mixed martial arts legalization approved by Maryland legislature
2008-04-08 23:54:00 A measure that would legalize paid mixed martial arts competitions in Maryland under the regulation of the state athletic commission has received final approval from the legislature. The Baltimore Sun reports that the House of Delegates passed the bill late Monday in the final night of the session. After the expected signing by Governor O'Malley of the bill into law, the athletic commission will begin the process of drafting rules and training state referees. The Sun reports that MMA events would likely start taking place in the state next year.----The hysterical crying of critics who blast so-called "ultimate fighting" notwithstanding, state politicians have acted rationally in voting for legalization. Mixed martial arts has mainstreamed itself in recent years, moving away from the early bloodsport image that had all but annihilated the endeavor in earlier years.There was no good reason left for Maryland not to allow MMA under the same reasonable controls adopted successfully in ...

Training Post: Neck and Body Conditioning for Martial Arts
2008-04-07 20:45:00 It's become apparent that many martial artists, surprisingly, don't give much thought to conditioning their bodies for fighting. So, for those of you that don't, pay attention:Those of you that study under kung fu 'masters' that urge you not to work out because you might lose your speed... stop listening to dumb advice. While it's true that being a completely steroid-ed beefcafe with massive amounts of unusable muscle will probably mean that you are slower than you could be, not working out altogether in combative arts is a terrible idea. Also, the 'don't work out' advice only works for people who spend enough time conditioning using MA training... which doesn't apply to most of the people who spew that crud from their mouths.Anyway, before I go into a huge rant about the things people in the TMA world buy into, here are 3 excellent bodyweight exercises:Neck Bridges: a fighter's best friend. While a strong neck may not save you from a locked-in RNC, having one might save ...
Poet fuses written word, martial arts
2008-04-04 09:12:00 Poet Li-Young Lee spoke about the meaning of poetry at "Writer's at Rutgers Reading Series," hosted by the University's English Department Wednesday at the Rutgers Student Center of the College Avenue campus.Poetry is a form of martial arts, he said."If martial arts is a way of replacing ill will with good will, then all the arts from calligraphy to poetry are of a martial kind," Lee said.English Professor Meredith McGee gave Lee's introduction."It's always nice when a poet you've been reading on the page materializes in front of you as an actual person," she said.Lee, who was born in 1957 in Jakarta, Indonesia, has written four books of poetry and one memoir, and received several awards including a Whiting Award and Academy of American Poets, Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, according to the University's English Department Web site.Even though it is difficult to decide as a poet to be non-causal, meaning to use free verse, to be ordered or retain st...
