We're back in gear for Fall after our Summer Theme. We're bringing new striking stand-up game to our MMA and continuing to refine our Ground 'n' Pound. Plus check out upcoming self defense events in Edmonton.

Quito, Ecuador

I spent one great week in Quito, Ecuador in August. I was training volunteers from Idealist.org Ecuador in REAL Self Defense.

They rocked out in training and are already offering their first seminar this month. No doubt they will do a fine job bringing this much-needed training to their community. You can check out some of the photos on Facebook.

Fall is Here!

Ground 'n' Pound Summer has come to an end. I saw everyone's fundamental positional dominance go up a level. This laid the foundation for Ground 'n' Pound to become second-nature for the students' grappling game.

We are starting a new MMA striking stand-up game, plus we'll be continuing to further refine our Ground 'n' Pound game!
