Where do you turn for physical gratification and challenges after high school graduation if you are a wrestler?

This is exactly the question one local man tried to answer as he sought a way to fill the void in his life. Kelly Cook, a USC Aiken student, grew up wrestling. During his senior year of high school in 2006, he competed in the state championships and brought home a bronze medal in the 145 pound 2A category. That was the last time he wrestled.

"I wanted to get into something, but didn't know what," Cook said. "I missed competing, training and the whole preparation of it all."

As he was leaving class at USCA one day he happened to notice a magnet on the side of a car advertising Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiujitsu in Augusta.

That was three years ago, and, now, Cook has attained his one stripe purple belt training under black belt Joshua Miller. Jiujitsu has allowed Cook to continue competing and developed his skills in an entirely different manner than wrestling, he said.

"It was very different to transition from wrestling to jiujitsu over the last three years," said Cook. "My wrestling coach stressed to never be on your back, but, in jiujitsu, it is considered a neutral position to be on your back."

The activity is much more than just a sport to Cook.

"It is very therapeutic for me. It is a way to release all of the anxiety of the day," said Cook. "If there is something wrong, the first place I want to go is to the mat."

In the past few years, Cook has competed in several jiujitsu tournaments, including the World Championships, and has brought home several gold medals; however, his skills and training haven't stopped there.

In recent months, Cook has transitioned to mixed martial arts (MMA) fighting, where he is able to utilize both his wrestling skills as well as his jiujitsu.

On the spur of the moment, Cook entered his first tournament.

"I have always watched it and wanted to give it a shot," said Cook. "I was nervous before the first match. I had a 24-hour notice before a competition in Myrtle Beach. I won my match in 21âÑ2 minutes."

Cook has found MMA fighting to be different from what he has experienced in the past.

"MMA is very different. You set up shots and incorporate wrestling moves. I like it a lot, and I think over the years I have developed a style that is conducive to MMA," Cook said.

On Saturday, Cook will put his training to the test as he competes with only 6-ounce gloves and a mouth piece in the Confrontation at the Convocation at the USC Aiken Convocation Center at 7 p.m.

He will compete in the amateur category; however, professional fights will take place during the event.

Cook admits that, while he thoroughly enjoys the MMA fighting and jiujitsu competitions, they aren't his only focus. He is a senior planning to graduate in the fall of this year with a degree in communications. He is an active member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.

For right now, Cook plans to pursue MMA competitions and see where that leads but he hasn't forgotten the importance of education and hopes to one day work in the broadcasting field.

MMA fighting will make its official debut in Aiken during the event, which takes place inside a 24-foot steel cage. There are about 15 fights scheduled.

A portion of the proceeds raised from the event will be donated to Special Olympics (Area 15). Tickets are on sale at the USC Aiken Convocation Center Box Office, www.georgianlinatix.com or charge by phone at (866) 722-8877. Ticket prices range from $15 to $55. For VIP-only tables, call 514-0095.

about Mixed Martial Arts Back in Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s only professional mixed martial arts tournament is back for more Thursday night in the form of Legend Fighting Championship 2 in Kowloon Bay. The combination of specialties such as Brazilian jujitsu, muay Thai boxing and wrestling, has a strong following in Asia, where Japan is currently the biggest market.

Legend co-founders Michael Haskamp and Chris Pollack announced their first TV deal this week. They didn’t reveal the terms of the deal, though Haskamp called it “vanilla,” and said it’s pretty standard as far as TV deals go. The two 30-something former finance workers are pumped about MMA’s “explosion all over the world,” Pollack said, pointing out the example of Ultimate Fighting Championship, which has a huge following in the U.S., being purchased by two then-casino executives in 2001 for US$2 million. They sold a 10% stake to Abu Dhabi-based Flash Entertainment for an undisclosed sum. The value of UFC is unknown, but company front-man Dana White told a newspaper they turned down a $1.2 billion cash offer in 2007.

Meanwhile, Legend’s co-founders are traveling the region, scouting fighters and learning from watching other fighting events. They’re constantly looking for new ways to expand.

“We will try almost everything,” Haskamp said, referring to the types of sponsors he’s seen drawn to the sport. While Legend is a young and flexible business, Haskamp said they have found dealmaking with bigger entities is much more cumbersome. The TV deal with KIX parent Tiger Gate Entertainment involved nine months of discussions, and they’re navigating their way through regional and global corporate bureaucracy with other sponsors such as Harley-Davidson. (Harley is a UFC sponsor in the U.S.)

They see Asia as a natural place for MMA’s expansion. UFC owners Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta did too—in 2007 parent company Zuffa bought UFC’s then biggest rival organization, Pride, based in Japan. But expansion plans there didn’t work out. Pride was closed within the year.

Martial arts like kung fu and san da were born in Asia, while “in the U.S. everything has been imported,” Haskamp said. The challenge is to reach out to the community, where reactions have varied from curiosity to a hesitance to dive into the very different style that comes when martial arts are mixed.

Legend
Kenny Yeung of Hong Kong in January’s tournament.

In the five months since the first Legend tournament in January, Haskamp and Pollack have been making changes to the event itself and they recently started a sponsored development program for local Hong Kong talent. Among the changes fans can see Thursday night are educational video clips after take-downs, intended to teach newbies about techniques. Ticket prices are lower too, which the two hope will make the event more accessible. They say there’s also strong interest from the finance companies in town, who have snapped up ring-side seats.

For the uninitiated, you might watch a fight clip on Youtube (National Geographic has a nice scientific look at just how hard they hit, but other clips can give you a better idea of what you’ll see live) to make sure you and yours are prepared for just how hard-core these bouts can be.

Thursday’s fighters hail from all over Asia, with local favorite Kenny Yeung, 28, returning to his hometown from training in Australia. The last fight of the night, between lightweights Australian Adrian Pang and South Korean Yu Woo Sung, is sure to be intense. In January, the decorated Pang defeated Yu’s teammate Nam Yui Chul.

During training Tuesday in Tsim Sha Tsui, Pang said he is psyched for the fight. He doesn’t know much about his opponent in the last fight of the night:
“I know the Koreans are tough. I fought his teammate in January and that was a tough fight. They’re big…and they’re very skilled as well.”

The fights will be broadcast in a week in Hong Kong on Now-TV, Indonesia and Singapore through the KIX network.

Rango and Kung Fu Panda Sequel Move

Release Date Changes: The Fighter Gets a Date, Rango and Kung Fu Panda Sequel Move

Posted on Thursday, June 24th, 2010 by Peter Sciretta

The Fighter

David O. Russell’s The Fighter finally has an official release date: December 10th 2010, just in time for award season. I’m sure the film will premiere at one of the September film festivals (Telluride, Toront, Venice).

We also have some minor release date changes for DreamWorks Animation’s sequel Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom Paramount will hit theaters one day earlier, Thursday May 26th 2011 instead of Friday, May 27th.

Also, Paramount Pictures has moved the release date of the computer animated film Rango from March 18th 2011 to March 4th 2011.

We haven’t heard much about the project since that test screening report in January and after some behind the scenes footage was released online. For those who haven’t been following the project, here is a recap: Darren Aronofsky was originally scheduled to direct, but switched over to The Wrestler. The film tells the story of Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), a real life boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after a run of drugs and crime.

King of kung fu lauds little prince

A solemn Jaden Smith bows and says "Master, I love you" in Chinese to Jackie Chan.
The kung fu king, in turn, laughs and gives the 12-year-old boy a big hug.

This was the scene at the opening of the Jackie Chan Cinema in western Beijing on Wednesday, which launched with the premiere of The Karate Kid, a remake of the 1980s classic. The son of American actor and singer Will Smith has been learning kung fu from Chan on and off screen for nearly a year.
"We are proud that he can not only rap, dance, and act, but also do kung fu," says the father, who was in town to promote the film.
"But one of the most important things is that the kung fu is learned from Jackie Chan."
Will is producer of the movie along with wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The couple did not play in the movie as they "wanted to focus behind the scene".
However, Chan reveals the real reason was so they could keep an eye on Jaden as he was put through stick training and other dangerous moves.
"We all know Will is a great actor, producer and singer but he is also a good father," Chan says. "He would carry all of Jaden's stuff when we climbed the mountains. And when we shot some really dangerous moves, he was so worried about his son."
"But Chan took us out to dinner every night. All those different Chinese foods relaxed us," Will replies.
What impressed Chan most, though, was Jaden's dedication and hard work.
"I think he is born like that, he has this kind of gene," Chan says. "But he is also hard working even though he is born into such a privileged family." Chan says his stunt team trained Jaden for three months for the fight scenes before the shooting began, and adds the young boy proved himself adept at mastering all the moves.
"We did the movie last year but he still practices kung fu everyday. I am sure he will beat his father one day and then he will beat me," Chan jokes.
Directed by Harald Zwart (director of Agent Cody Banks, The Pink Panther 2), The Karate Kid tells the story of Jaden Smith as Dre Parker, who reluctantly moves with his widowed mom to China. Saved by a Mr Han from a beating at the hands of a gang of young kung fu players, Dre trains with Han, who is a secret kung fu master, for a tournament.
Despite all the movie's fight scenes, Jaden says he faced his biggest challenge while chasing in the mountains.
"I had to stay fast and watch out for wet ground and jump over sharp outgrowth in the forest," Jaden says. "But it's really cool to be a kung fu player."
Jaden got his big-screen start alongside his dad in the 2006 drama The Pursuit of Happyness and co-starred in the science-fiction remake The Day the Earth Stood Still. He says he wants to make acting a lifelong career and do more action roles.
While everybody is kung fu fighting in the movie, Jackie Chan has a surprise role. The 50-year-old plays a humble, gray-haired building maintenance worker in plain blue shirt.
"I am very happy to play a serious role," he says.
The veteran of action-comedy, whose smash hits in Hollywood include the Rush Hour series, says the new movie has fewer kung fu moves and lighthearted conversations from him.
Much of the film was shot in and around Beijing, including the Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and the Olympic venues. There was also a four-day shooting stint on Wudang Mountain in Central China, which made a great impression on Will.
"We've seen the thousands of years of history of the country in four months. That experience was so inspiring," he says.
The movie opened in the United States on June 11 and topped the US box office that weekend with nearly $60 million. Will says that he hopes the success will extend to China.
"I'm very excited about how well the movie did in the US and I hope the rest of the world will have the same reaction," says Will.
"This collaboration will speak loudly. It's truly a collaboration of two very different nations."

2nd technique of knife fighting techniques

Technique number two of my special lessons about how to fight with knife techniques :
Advincula also teaches students to aim for the opponent's weapon-wielding hand. By disabling the hand that holds his weapon, you neutralize the threat to your safety and gain the advantage. If the enemy has two weapons- say a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other- zero in on the one that presents the most immediate danger to your well-being. The official motto of the U.S. Marine Corps is semper fidelis, a Latin phrase meaning "always faithful." By practicing the basic principles of close-combat knife fighting—proper grip, balanced stance, accessible targets—you too can be assured that your
 knife will always be "faithful," be it in the jungle, or on the streets.

Caption p.59 bottom There are four basic methods of gripping a knife: the reverse grip (1), the fencer's grip (2), the ice pick grip (3) and the hammer grip (4). The hammer grip is the preferred method because you are less likely to lose your grasp of the weapon and you can use the knife in combination with a punch. Caption p59top Caption p.60 In the "shield hand" technique, the knife fighter places (1) his free hand close to his heart or solar plexus to protect vital areas from his opponent's Knife strikes. Or, he can use the free hand to parry (2) an opponent's strike, and then counter attack.

1st technique of knife fighting techniques

Technique number one of how to fight with  knife weapon by  Robert Safreed
from (The Knife Fighting Tactics of the US Marine Corps: Grips, Stances and Targets)

Therefore, it is necessary to select a simple, strong grip which can be used in any situation. Close-combat instructors generally teach four methods of grip- ping a knife:
Reverse grip. Some instructors advocate the use of the "reverse" grip, with the knife held along the wrist. However, Advincula claims this method limits your techniques and only allows for slashing maneuvers, which are usually ineffective in a close-combat situation because the blade doesn't penetrate the target or generate much power.
Fencer's grip. Most instructors teach the “fencer's” grip, in which the knife handle is gripped firmly between the thumb and forefinger, with the other fingers wrapped loosely around the handle. While this grip may be suitable for small knives like a stiletto, it isn't suitable for blades with large grips. If your hand is hit during combat while employing the fencer's grip, you can lose your grasp on the weapon.

Ice-pick grip. The "ice-pick" grip enables deep penetration against soft body armor, heavy clothing, or other protective outfits.. To achieve this grip, simply hold the knife handle in a fist, with the blade pointing down. There are drawbacks to this grip, however. When raising the knife for a downward strike, you not only telegraph your intentions and expose your chest area, but you also make it easy for your opponent to see the weapon. Moreover, the ice-pick grip does not provide parrying or thrusting capability, and it is easier for the opponent to block a knife strike delivered in this manner.
1
Hammer grip. The hammer grip is preferred over all others. A knife held in this fashion is less likely to be
knocked from your grasp, and can also be used in conjunction with a punch or to deliver butt-end knife
strikes. A hammer grip is achieved by grasping the knife at the handle and forming a tight fist. Keep the
wrist flexible, as if using a hammer or hatchet. This enables you to lock the wrist tightly when needed.
The hammer grip provides great penetration and power, allowing the blade to easily cut through
heavy clothing. There is also less likelihood of injury to the user's thumb, unlike with the fencer's
grip. The hammer grip can be used for chopping, slashing, and especially thrusting techniques.
Stance
After achieving an effective grip, the knife fighter must
assume an appropriate combat stance. Advincula teaches
Marines to fight from a basic "triangle" stance. Also known
as the "fencer's" stance, the triangle posture allows the knife
fighter to move in any direction at a moment's notice. This
stance also allows the practitioner maximum reach because
his knife is held in the hand nearest to the enemy.
Covering
Advincula teaches students to "hide" behind their knife; in
other words, keep the weapon between them and the
opponent. By keeping the knife pointed toward the enemy,
you can attack and/or block or parry any thrusts by the
opponent. You can also pull the weapon close to your body,
leaving your free hand to protect against an opponent's
grabbing technique.
Shield Hand
The knife fighter's free hand should be held close to the heart or solar plexus to protect vital
areas such as the heart and throat. Should the enemy's blade get through your defenses, your free
hand will hopefully absorb the blade ra- ther than one of your vital organs. This technique is
taken from Filipino escrima, in which the hand is used as a shield and is sacrificed, if necessary.
According to Advincula, the escrimador's credo is: "You can cut my hand, but I will take your
life!"
The knife fighter's "shield hand" can also be used to parry, punch, fake a blow, throw objects,
distract the opponent, or assist balance in rough terrain. Marines are even taught to grab the
opponent's blade, if necessary. It should be noted that your hand can't be cut unless the enemy is
able to draw his blade. By grabbing and attacking the opponent, you can prevent him from
drawing the weapon and cutting your hand.
Targets
Attacking the right targets is a key to effective knife fighting. The objective is to neutralize the
enemy as quickly as possible, but this does not mean always attempting to strike vital points.
Jim Advincula (left) demonstrates the
"triangle" stance, with his knife to the
front and shield hand covering his chest.
This is the preferred knife-fighting
stance. Standing with the free hand
forward (center) rather than the knife
hand, or using a reverse grip (right) is
not recommended.






2
Since the enemy will generally be defending his vital points, you should seek the most available target, be it the solar plexus, back, neck, stomach, etc. Drawing first blood is a tremendous psychological advantage. The more you strike your opponent- regardless of where you hit him- the more he will bleed and weaken.

 The Knife Fighting Tactics of the US Marine Corps: Grips, Stances and Targets
by Robert Safreed

It's midnight in the jungle, and a United States Marine Corps infantryman crouches in the grass. His M16 assault rifle, emptied of bullets, lies somewhere in the thick underbrush, near the bodies of the soldier's slain enemies. He is alone, and he is far from home, behind enemy lines. Yet he is unafraid. He still has his knife, and in close combat, that is all he needs. According to Jim Advincula, a longtime U.S. Marine Corps knife and close - combat instructor, basic knife-fighting techniques are far more effective in close-combat situations than fancy or advanced techniques. For the average grunt, simple is deadly. dvincula's Oceanside, California martial arts school is located near a military base, and the isshin-ryu karate and escrima instructor is frequently called upon to teach UPS. servicemen the finer points (excuse the pun) of knife fighting.

Grip The first thing Advincula shows his knife-fighting students is how to grip the weapon. The terrain and environment are rarely ideal for close combat.

Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: The Complete Edition [Hardcover]

Bruce Lee was an iconic figure in martial arts who pioneered the concept of jeet kune do from his physical training, personal research, and formal education in philosophy at the University of Washington, Seattle. He acted in several motion pictures, including The Big Boss, Enter the Dragon, Fists of Fury, and Way of the Dragon. He is the author of Tao of Jeet Kune Do. M.Uyehara is an aikido practitioner and the founder of Black Belt magazine. He served as the owner for more than 30 years and studied jeet kune do under Bruce Lee. He lives near Honolulu, Hawaii.

This Book Vividly illustrating the techniques of a legendary innovator, this definitive examination explains how to survive attacks on the street, increase training awareness, and develop body movements.


Originally compiled as a four-volume series, this revised edition breathes new life into a classic work with digitally-enhanced photography of jeet kune do founder Bruce Lee in his prime, a new chapter by former Lee student Ted Wong, and an introduction by Shannon Lee. This renowned compendium once again reclaims its place as an integral part of the Lee canon and a necessary addition for collectors and martial arts enthusiasts alike.


I remember buying these four volume paperback sets in the late 70's. Back then Bruce Lee was my favorite martial artists (with Bill Wallace and Benny Urquidez immediately following). I wanted to fight like Bruce, kia like Bruce, and be a hero like Bruce.

250 basics of knife fighting techniques

There are many so-called "experts" who claim to be able to teach you either knife fighting or defense against a knife. The problem is that most of them are just teaching regurgitated martial arts, usually from the Philippines. While I have lots of respect for the martial arts of other lands, the truth is that you live where you do. Odds are you are not in a "knife culture." And that means that whatever you do regarding knives must: 
A) Work to keep you alive against how you are likely to be attacked by a knife in your homeland
and
B) If it does work, not put you in prison for murder or manslaughter
While B is important, it only becomes an issue if you survive A. Unfortunately, based on a lot of what I have been seeing taught with my own eyes or encountered while working with the students of these self-proclaimed "knife experts" getting past A is going to be a whole lot tougher than you think. Quite simply, most knife assaults are assassination attempts...how they occur is significantly different than how one "knife fights." While I express my opinions on other knife instructors elsewhere, what this page is for is to help you avoid some of the more common pitfalls with what is being taught out there.
Oh yeah, one more thing, always remember...it's your ass on the line out there, so don't let *anybody* tell you that you don't have the right to ask about these things or think for yourself. 
 
Michael Janich has trained SF vets, police and street fighters in the techniques of knife fighting for years. Now this highly successful, comprehensive instruction is available to the average soldier,

martial artist or defense-minded citizen who is interested in developing the practical skills required for today's combative streets.

 
don't remember who said it, but "One of the greatest tragedies of this century is that a man can live his entire life without ever knowing if he is a coward or not." Unfortunately, that statement rings all too true for people who are trying to prove something to themselves with reality based self-defense or  by learning the ultimate knife fighting system.
I know the fear, I know the gnawing self-doubt that can eat away at you. I know about doubting if you are a man because you are scared of violence. Gawd damn it, you should be scared of violence. It is a horrible, traumatizing, life altering experience. One that had I known what I know now when I was younger, I never would have been so quick to engage in.
.I also know the sweet sounding lies that seem like the answer to these painful motivations. Lies that we tell ourselves to keep from looking in the places where we really could get help. Lies that are told by organizations that are pandering to you fears instead of providing solid, reliable information.  I assure you like siren calls of drugs, alcohol or other addictions, these lies are not the way out.







I'd heartily recommend that you take a look at the Tough Enough, the Hollywood Macho and making you tough pages and do some serious reflecting on why you think being a knife fighter is such a great thing.

kung fu fighting training basic techniques from bruce lee's

Bruce Lee, the legend of martial arts and motion pictures, first studied Wing Chun Kung Fu in Hong Kong under the tutelage of Yip Man. When he came to the United States, Lee developed a concept of martial arts for the individual man that he labeled Jeet Kune Do - the way of the intercepting fist. His first book, The Tao of Jeet Kune Do, became a standard in the martial arts field. It was followed by Bruce Lee s Fighting Method a series of four volumes complied by Lee s friend and student M. Uyehara.

This DVD covers the first two volumes of Lee s fighting method Basic Training and Self-Defense Techniques. Topics include warm-ups, basic exercises, on-guard positions, footwork, power training, speed training and self-defense techniques. Demonstrating the techniques in this DVD presentation are Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo. Wong trained with Lee toward the later stages of Jeet Kune Do s development, becoming Lee s last major private student. He appeared with Lee in the photo techniques of the Bruce Lee s Fighting Method books and is considered to be Lee s protégé, being one of four to receive direct certification from Lee.

After Lee s death, Wong chose not to teach Jeet Kune Do publicly, instead establishing a semiprivate, nonprofit school in San Francisco in 1990. Bustillo is the director and co-founder of the International Martial Arts and Boxing Academy in Carson, California. He has more than 30 years of experience in the martial arts, is a senior instructor of Lee s Jeet Kune Do concepts and as a member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame, is always in high demand on the international martial arts seminar circuit.
