The Fight Nerd makes original videos covering mostly MMA and kickboxing gyms. Good stuff! Take a look at his Youtube page.

Shorinji Kempo vs San Da KIDS on a LEI TAI!!!

This video is pretty incredible. The kids have great technique. The san da kid has a nice sidekick and is more used to fighting on the lei tai but the kempo kid is overall more solid and should have won the match.

Kickboxing Smoker on Saturday, June 13th

From David Ross of NY Sanda -

I've decided that in the interests of keeping everyone in the region active and building the community I will use the gym to hold a "smoker" event on Saturday, June 13th.

• ONLY KICKBOXING STYLES (Mauy Thai, San Da, International, American)
• ONLY AMATEURS
• FULL EQUIPMENT (head gear, shin pads, etc)

"Smokers" - 3 rounds with no decision. You may be able to fight more than once (ie if there are 4 people at 146.9 you can fight twice).

Since I will be insuring the event and have medical staff present, I am asking that everyone pay $10 towards the costs. That's $10 to fight at least once, upwards of three times. Spectators will also be $10.
