Mixed martial arts returns to London Ontario this Saturday, as <a href="http://www.profc.ca/" target="_blank">Provincial Fighting Championship</a>
holds its first event at the Western Fair Agriplex building. This fight
card is loaded with local talent, and <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/">Kimurawear</a> is very proud to
support and sponsor 4 of the fighters on the card.
<h2>
Jesse Gross</h2>
In the co-main event of the evening, Jesse "The Ghost" Gross looks to
continue his hot streak and take out the undefeated Michael Karkula of
Extreme Couture Toronto. Gross is coming off a unanimous decision win
over another top Canadian in Tristan Johnson. If Jesse is able to take
out Karkula, he will be one step closer to making it to the big show.
Gross is mainly known as an explosive and devastating striker, but
showed solid wrestling skills in
his last bout against Tristan Johnson. This fight is worthy of its
co-main event status, and we look forward to watching Jesse go to war.<br />
<h2>
Shannon Ludlow</h2>
Shannon "The Cannon" Ludlow will be making her professional debut at
Provincial Fighting Championship. The London native fights out of the
Adrenaline Training Centre, which is where such mma stars as Mark
Hominick, Sam Stout,
and headlining fighter Chris Horodecki call home. Ludlow has fought once
as an amateur and looks to get the same result in her professional
debut. Shannon was able to score a third round submission win this past
July in Michigan.
<br />
<h2>
Darryl Marin</h2>
Darryl Marin is making his professional mma debut at Provincial Fighting
Championship, but he is far from a newcomer to the art of fighting.
Darryl has competed in over 70 amateur and professional muay thai bouts,
nationally and internationally.
Marin is also the owner and main instructor at <a href="http://www.darksidemuaythai.ca/" target="_blank">Darkside Muay</a>
Thai in Kitchener Ontario. Having top notch stand up skills, would make
most think that Darryl is uncomfortable on the ground, but that is not
the case. Marin has been working on his
ground for quite some time and is ready where ever the fight goes.<br />
<h2>
Malcolm Gordon</h2>
Malcolm Gordon last competed at Substance Cage Combat in Toronto
Ontario, where he faced Ahmed Akkar. The ultra explosive flyweight was
allover his opponent and was able to set a pace that Ahmed could not
keep up.
Despite being deep in a triangle choke in the second round, Gordon was
able to finish off his opponent with strikes on the ground. After
pushing his record to 2-0 at SCC, Malcolm will look to make it three in a
row in London.
<br />
<br />
We look forward to this event and hope for it to be a success for #teamkimurawear as well as the PFC.

With the success of our <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Mens-Compression-s/288.htm">Body-X Compression Series</a>,
it seemed only natural to expand on the line and give our customers
more options when looking for athletic apparel. Kimurawear is proud to
announced the launch of our Body-X Board Short Series. As with our
compression series, our <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/MMA-Shorts-s/289.htm">Body-X Board Shorts</a>
Series is designed to become an extension of your body and, increase
your athletic performance and potential. This is achieved by two new
innovations, our Core Flow™ technology and our Volo™ cut.<br />
<br />
Our Core Flow™ technology is very similar to that of our compression
series. This special material is a spandex, lycra, organic, cotton blend
that offers several benefits.
<br />
<ul>
<li>Breathable: Thousands of air pockets are lined in the shorts allowing for a greater air flow.</li>
<li>Flexible: Body-X Shorts are able to stretch unlike any short on the market</li>
<li>Sweat Control: Wicks away the athletes sweat and aids in the bodies overall heat regulation.</li>
<li>Bacteria Control: With less sweat there is less chance for bacteria to grow.</li>
</ul>
Our Body-X Board Shorts have been constructed in a unique way in order
to maximize the athletes range of motion. We have developed the Volo™
cut, which gives more range of motion than any other short on the
market. This special higher cut has been tested with martial artists and
athletes alike and the verdict is that it works! We have added an
additional two inches of material to the shorts inseam, which allows the
bodies hips much more room to work with.

Kimurawear is very excited to announce the release of our new <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Hybrid-MMA-Shin-Guards-p/0535.htm">Hybrid MMA Shin Guards</a>.
We have been working on a way to make the ultimate shin guard for quite
some time now, and we finally came up with a concept that we are happy
with. We have combined both a grappling and striking style shin guard to
make the most innovative shin guard on the market.<br />
The secret to our new shin guard is the Hybrid Fit system. This system
combines the benefits of a striking strap systems as well as a
grappling sock system.
<br />
<ul>
<li>Easy to put on and take off</li>
<li>Eliminates spinning/twisting of shin guard</li>
<li>Comfortable fit</li>
<li>Great for both striking and grappling training</li>
</ul>
Our new hybrid shin guard also has inherited all of tried and tested Kimurawear technologies that our products are known for.
<br />
<ul>
<li>Reactive Tech: Absorbs impact up to 70% more efficiently that other foams on the market.</li>
<li>Core Dry Tech: Eliminates odor by keeping the shin guard dry up after use.</li>
<li>AirFlow Tech: Allows temperature control for extra comfort during training.</li>

<br />
Canadian bantamweight and Kimurawear sponsored athlete <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Fighter-Profile-Josh-Hill-s/273.htm">Josh Hill</a>, was one of 16 bantamweights that were flown down to Las Vegas for a chance to make it onto <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/MMA-News-Josh-Hill-TUF-18-s/370.htm" target="_blank">The Ultimate Fighter</a>
television show. It has been a long time coming for the 26 year old
from Hamilton ON. Hill has been fighting professional for the past 4
years and accumulated a very impressive record of 9-0. Long considered a
top prospect at 135 pounds, the ultimate fighter seemed like a logical
step for Hill to take. In order to make it past the first episode, Josh
had to do battle in the octagon, and earn a place in the ultimate
fighter house. Josh was able to get his opponent and was picked to be on
Miesha Tates team. The former model has not fought since and has had
little camera time, but I think that is about change in the near future
as the gentleman is bound to fight sooner than later.

The UFC drops down in Ontario s capital again this Saturday night at the <a href="http://www.theaircanadacentre.com/" target="_blank">Air Canada Centre</a>
and brings two titles that are sure to excite the fans. There is plenty
of Canadian talent on the undercard that should bring some pride to the
great white north.
<h2>
Jon Jones Vs Alexander Gustafsson</h2>
<a href="http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jon-Jones-27944" target="_blank">Jon Jones</a>
puts his 205 title on the line when he faces Swedish import Alexander
Gustafsson. This will be the fist time that the champ will have to face
someone who is as tall as him and has a similar reach as Jones. Jones
reach advantage has seen him make great fighters look not so great, so
the question is will he employ a stand up strategy against Gustafsson.
Who has the better striking? Its a close call on who has the more
polished striking in the main event, but Jones does bring a more deserve
arsenal to the table. Jones has a clear advantage in the wrestling
department, but he seldom takes his opponents down. I think Jones is the
superior athlete and will win this fight were ever it goes. I see it
going to the distance and Bones Jones remaining the best at 205 pounds.<br />
<h2>
Renan Barao vs Eddie Wineland</h2>
The interim bantamweight title is on the line in the co-main event as
champion Dominick Cruz is still sidelined with injury.
Interm champion Renan Barao looks to defend his title for the second
time against former WEC featherweight champ Eddie Wineland.
Barao has looked flawless in his UFC and WEC career so far but Wineland
has been impressive in his last two bouts against Brad Pickett and Scott
Jorgensen. Barao will likely take this bout with a combination of his
high level muay thai and jiu jitsu skills. I see Barao getting the
finish in the 3rd.<br />
<h2>
Brendan Schaub vs Matt Mitrione</h2>
Heavyweights are in action as Ultimate Fighter alumnus Brendan Schaub
takes on fellow castrate Matt Mitrione. Both fighters have improved
tremendously since there time on the Ultimate fighter and have developed
well rounded skill sets. If Mitrione can keep it it on the feet he has a
good chance of winning the fight. Schaub seems more comfortable on the
ground and will likely try to get the fight to the mats and look to
ground out a decision. I think Mitrione is going to get the KO in this
fight, in the first round.<br />
<h2>
Costa Philippou vs Francis Carmont</h2>
Two big athletic middle weights are looking to get to the top of
there division, and the winner of this fight will be close to the top of
the division. Costa has the better striking and will likely win a stand
up war by KO. Carmont is a big and athletic middleweight who is likely
to look for the take down and ground fight. Can Carmont take down
Phillippou? He can and is likely to get it to the mat at some point, but
I see Costa being able to get back to his feet and get the KO.<br />
<h2>
Pat Healy vs Khabib Nurmagomedev</h2>
Top light weights are in action in the opening bout of the main card
as Pat Healy takes on Russian fighter Khabib Nurmagomdev. Healys last
fight saw him dominate top contender Jim Miller, while Khabib smothered
Abel Trujillo to death in his last bout. It will be interesting to see
who dominates the grappling portion of this fight as they are both very
good at what they do. This fight could down as a stinker and hugging
contest, but I am very interested to see how it plays out. Not sure who
takes this one.<br />
<br />
Also on the card are Canadians Mike Ricci, Ivan Menjivar, Chris
Clements, Mitch Gagnon, John Makdessi, Jesse Ronson, and Roland Delorme.
Lets go Canucks!!!!<br />

The UFC is holding an event on August 28th in Indianapolis Indiana at
the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. For the second consecutive Saturday UFC
fans can watch some the worlds best athletes compete on free television.
Not to shabby. The card is not quite as stacked as last weeks debut on
Fox Sports 1 but its free mma, so don't bother complaining.
<h2>
Carlos Condit vs Martin Kampmann</h2>
In the main event we have a rematch that has been four years in the making.
Carlos Condit lost a close split decision to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Kampmann" target="_blank">Martin Kampmann</a>
at UFC Fight Night 18 in 2009. Both fighters are coming of loses to
number one contender Johny Hendricks and are in need of strong
performance to stay relevant as a top contender. The winner will likely
remain in the mix and the loser will have to work there way back up.
Both fighters have high level striking and grappling skills, but
Kampmann is coming off an extremely devastating knockout loss. The kind
of knock out that a fighter never fully recovers from and makes them
more susceptible to future knock outs. Im going to go with Condit by
tko, I just cant see Kampmann being the same fighter after his last
fight. <br />
<h2>
Donald Cerrone vs Rafael Dos Anjos </h2>
In the co-main event, two of the top lightweights in the world collide as the cowboy <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/fighter-profile-donald-cerrone-s/245.htm">Donald Cerrone</a>
takes on surging Brazilian import Rafeal Dos Anjos. Cerrone has
compiled an impressive 7-2 record in the UFC, and has ranked in the top
10 for quite some time. While Dos Anjos has won his last 4 bouts, which
include wins over Evan Dunham, and Mark Bocek. Much like the main event,
the winner of this bout will only be a one or two fights away from a
title shot. Cerrone will have a definitive reach advantage and should be
able to to win the majority of the striking exchanges, while the more
compact Brazilian fighter should be able to control Cerrone on the
ground to get the decision.
Tough fight to call, im going to go with Dos Anjos by decision. <br />
<h2>
Kevin Gastelum vs Brian Melancon</h2>
Ultimate Fighter 17 winner Kevin Gastelum makes his return to the
octagon after winning the reality show and faces one time UFC fighter
Brian Melancon. Gastelum brings a lot of heart, tenacity and wrestling
skills to the table and has beat all comers thus far in his mma career.
Melancon had a very impressive UFC debut in his bout with Seth
Baczyniski. He looked very comfortable against a much taller opponent in
Baczyniski, and displayed some impressive knock out power. Although
Gastelum has defeated 5 opponents to win the reality show, he is still
very green in his overall mma game and Meclancon is a very dangerous
fighter. Look for Melancon to another first round stoppage due to
strikes.
<br />
<br />
Other bouts on the main card include a welterweight show down between
Ultimate Fighter 11 winner Court McGee and Ultimate Fighter: The
Smashes winner Robert Whittaker. Also a potential fight of the night at
bantamweight when the always exciting Mexican Erik Perez returns to
face former WEC title challenger in Takeya Mizugaki. <br />

<h1>
<span></span><img alt="Muay Thai Fighter" class="img-left" src="http://www.kimurawear.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/brazilian-jiu-jitsu.jpg" />
</h1>
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, can trace its roots back to Japan, where the art of
Judo was created. Judo was formed from japanese jitsu which was used on
the feudal battlefields. Judo was mainly created by Jigoro Kano, who
wanted to create an art that could be practiced without resulting in
severe injuries. Many of the battlefield techniques were removed and
Judo was created. Kano, adopted a way for participants to practice at
full effort, while not permanently injuring competitors. This form of
open sparring is known as Randori.
<br />
<br />
Esai Maeda, was a student of Kano, and had emigrated to Brazil to
establish an Japanese Immigration colony. He was aided by Gastao Gracie,
a Brazilian of Scottish descent. To show gratitude to Gracie for his
help in the colonization, Maeda taught Gastao's son Carlos the basic
techniques of Jiu-Jitsu. Carlos then passed on the knowledge to his
brothers Oswaldo, Jorge, Gastao, and Helio.
<br />
<br />
As the story goes, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9lio_Gracie" target="_blank">Helio Gracie</a>
was a small and frail individual, who was always sitting at the side as
his brothers taught Jiu Jitu. One day his brothers didn't show up to
teach a class and Helio stepped in taught the class. The next day when
the brothers returned, they were told by the students that they wanted
Helio to train them. He had been studying the techniques from afar and
had developed them to work on leverage and not strength. Even with his
smaller body he was able to defeat opponents many times larger than him.
<br />
<br />
Helio would go on to open his own academy in 1940, located in Rio. The
popular Gracie Jiu Jitsu academies were very popular and over the next
18 years, the four different locations in Rio would see over 2000
students come through there doors. The Gracie academies were not that
the only places to train in judo or jiu jitsu in Brazil, but they were
the most successful.
With the growth of the sport Helio Gracie created the first federation
of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 1967. It was from this Federation that the
belt systems for students was established. More federations would be
created in later years, most importantly Carlos Gracie Jr. created the
Confederacao Brasiliera in 1993. This federation had the idea of
creating a world championship (the Mundials).
<br />
<br />
The art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was virtually unknown in north america.
This would change with the creation of the Ultimate Fighting
Championship in 1993. A one night tournament would pit different martial
arts disciplines against one another. Helio Gracies son Royce would be
chosen to represent the art of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_jiu-jitsu" target="_blank">Brazilian Jiu Jitsu</a>. Royce dominated the competition and the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was introduced to the masses.

need a specialized gym bag that can handle all of your gear.
Gloves of various sizes, <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/MMA-Head-Gear-s/287.htm">head gear</a>, shin guards, <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Hand-Wraps-s/290.htm">hand wraps</a>, rash guards, board shorts, etc. Our <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Gym-Bag-p/0246.htm">Convertible gym bag</a> can handle all that and more.
<br />
<br />
Our over sized main compartment is big enough to hold all of the
necessary gear for any sparring or training session. The bag has
numerous compartments and pockets throughout the bag, that are great for
storing smaller objects, ie, mouth guard, hand wraps, wallet, cell
phone. This bag is constructed with a rip-stop polyester on the exterior
and a water proof inner liner on the inside of the bag. This bag is
tough, durable, and made to last. <br />
<br />
In order to eliminate potential odor issues with the gear inside of

UFC 163 is going down in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro" target="_blank">Rio De Janeiro</a>,
Brazil this Saturday August 3rd at the HSBC arena. Home native Jose
Aldo defends his feather weight strap in the main event. MMA seems to be
making it be down in Brazil and the UFC is churning out the events to
satisfy demand. This card is loaded with talent so lets break down the
main card.
<h2>
Jose Aldo vs Chan Sung Jung</h2>
The 145 pound kingpin Jose Aldo looks to defend his belt for the 7th time and take out one of the UFCs top featherweights the <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Fighter-Profile-Korean-Zombie-s/234.htm">Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung</a>.
Jose Aldo has only one loss in 23 fights and that lone loss was 8 years
ago. Can he take the torch of the top Brazilian fighter on the planet
after Anderson Silva was knocked out at UFC 162? Quite possibly. Aldo
has been extremely dominant in his WEC/UFC career, only showing that he
is human in the last round against Mark Hominick as well as in the
Frankie Edgar fight. Can the Korean Zombie exploit something in the
champions game? Probably not, Aldo has the much better overall stand up
game, with some of the most viscous low kicks around and his take down
defines is top notch. THe longer the fight goes the more damage the
Zombie is going to take. I see a finish from the champ. Aldo by TKO:
Round 3<br />
<h2>
Lyoto Machida vs Phil Davis</h2>
A pivotal match up at light heavy weight, could see the winner
getting a title shot at 205. Lyoto Machida puts his karate to the test
against stand out wrestler Phil Davis. Can Davis figure out a way to
time Machidas movements and get the fight to the ground, where Phil is
likely to dominant? He has the wrestling and the athleticism to do it,
but there is no other fighter who flights like Machidas in the UFC, and
must be almost impossible to replicate in training. I can see Davis
getting Machida down at some point but I don't see him finishing the
former champion. I see Machida picking away at Davis with punches and
kicks, and getting another crack at Jon Jones, or a first crack at
Alexander Gustafsson. Machida by Unanimous Decision. <br />
<h2>
Cezar Ferreria vs Tom Watson</h2>
One of the original Ultimate Fighter Brazil winners Cezar Ferreria
will get his second chance to fight for the UFC, as he has been plagued
by injuries since winning the reality show. Standing in Ferreras way is
fellow Brazilian and octagon newcomer Thiago Santos. Santos comes in as
a replacement for the injured Clint Hester. Not much is known about
Santos, expect that he has a solid record and is Brazilian. He is
fighting above his weight class, so look for the much bigger Ferreria to
muscle his opponent to the cage and take him down. Cezar show cased a
solid submission game on the reality show, and would love to show off
his skills again, in his native Brazil. Ferreria by Submission 2nd
Round.<br />
<h2>
Thales Leites vs Tom Watson</h2>
Former middle weight title challenger Thales Leites makes his retun
to the UFC after compiling a 6-1 record outside of the promotion. The
talented grappler has to deal with the hard hitting Tom Watson from the
UK. On paper this seems like a typical striker vs wrestler match up.
Thales will no doubt want to get the fight to the ground, and employ his
jiu jitsu on Watson but Thales isn't the strongest wrestler and will
have to win at least one striking exchange to get in deep on Watson. Can
Watson keep the Brazilian off of him and score with punching
combinations and kicks? I see him being somewhat successful at this, but
Thales will most likely find a way to drag Tom to the ground each round
and win the fight. Leites by Unanimous Decision.<br />

The UFC returns to FOX this saturday the Keyarena in Seattle,
Washington with a flyweight title bout as the headliner. Also on the
card is a pivotal welterweight matchup, that has to have title shot
ramifications for the winner.
<br />
<h2>
Demetrious Johnson vs John Moraga</h2>
Demetrious Johnson looks defend his title for the 2nd time and remain
undefeated at 125 pounds. Standing across the cage from him will be 13-1
John Moraga. There is no doubt this is going to be a fast paced affair
with lots exchanges on the feet and scrambles on the ground. Both
fighters have a wrestling background, but Moraga comes in with the
higher collegiate credentials. Who ever can control the fight will
likely win this one. <a href="http://www.ufc.ca/fighter/Demetrious-Johnson" target="_blank">Demetrious Johnson</a>
is one of, if not the best at mixing up his striking with his
wrestling, and making his opponents looking slower than himself. I see
Johnson taking this one by unanimous decision.
<br />
<h2>
Rory McDonald vs Jake Ellenberger</h2>
The most anticipated fight on the card has to go between <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Rory-MacDonald-14018" target="_blank">Rory McDonald</a>
and Jake Ellenberger. Two of the welterweight divisions top contenders
square off, with the winner knocking on Dana Whites door for a title
shot. McDonald seems to be a little sharper in his striking while
Ellenberger has the edge in knock out power. The stand up portion of
this fight will be very interesting to watch. The deciding factor in
this bout may come down to who wins the in the wrestling department and
is able to get there opponent to the mat. Ellenberger comes from a
wrestling background, but McDonald is a new breed of fighter. Very tough
fight to call. Im going with McDonald by decision
<br />
<h2>
Robbie Lawler vs Bobby Voelker</h2>
Bobby Voelker is a replacement for former Strikefrorce champion Tarec
Saffiedine, and faces the hard hitting Robbie Lawler. Lawler made an
impressive UFC return when he blasted Josh Koscheck inside of one round
at UFC 157, while Voelker lost a back and forth bout against Patrick
Cote at UFC 158. On paper this should be a Lawler victory but Voelker
isn't a guy to couldn't out. He is as resilient as they come, and will
be hard to put away. Im going to go with Lawler, by decision.<br />
<h2>
Liz Carmouche vs Jessica Andrade</h2>
The ladies start off the main card, with former title challenger Liz
Carmouche taking on octagon newcomer Jessica Andrade. The Brazilian,
Andrade brings in an impressive record of 9-2 and looks to make a name
for herself known, by taking out one the UFCs most well known ladies.
But Carmouche is also looking for her first UFC win and will be looking
to make a statement as well. This one could steal the show, I see
Carmouche getting the win by stoppage in the 2nd round.<br />

<img alt="heavy punching bag" class="blog-img-01" src="http://www.kimurawear.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/heavy-punching-bag.01.jpg" />
Kimurawear has been expanding and growing tremendously in the past
few years. We have constantly been expanding our product line, in order
to satisfy our loyal customers needs. After a lot of customer feedback
regarding heavy and thai bags, we deciding to go ahead and create
something that sternly represents our brand. Quality is the driving
force behind Kimurawear, and we didn't stop short on these bags. Our
bags are made of a special synth-leather material. This material is
extremely durable and has a tremendous amount of flex, making it perfect
for bag use. <br />
<h2>
HEAVY BAG</h2>
Our <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Heavy-Bag-p/0518.htm">heavy bags</a>
weigh in at 100 pounds filled and measure in at 14" by 52". These bags
are ideal for gyms as well as home use. They are designed primarily
for punching techniques, and quite easy to assemble. Most gyms primarily
have heavy bags, with a few thai bags as well.
<br />
<h2>
THAI BAG</h2>
Our <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Muay-Thai-Bag-p/0516.htm">thai bag</a>
is longer than the heavy bag. This is done so in the traditional thai
style. One of the thai boxers greatest weapons is there low kicks, which
cannot be done on a boxing heavy bag. The thai bag weights in at 120
pounds and measures in at 14" by 72".
<br />
Both types of bags come filled or unfilled, but we recommend pick up
for the full thai bag as shipping would be quite costly. If pick up is
not possible then we could potentially work out a solution.

<br />
Kimurawear has always been know for its high quality line of mma,
boxing, and muay thai gloves. We look to take things to a higher level
with the release of our new <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Lace-Up-Boxing-Gloves-p/0521.htm">lace up pro boxing gloves</a>. This glove isn't necessary a beginners glove, it is more for intermediate to advanced martial artists.<br />
<br />
These new gloves are constructed with all premium leather, and have had
all of its seams reinforced to make the most durable boxing glove on the
market. The lace up system provides the most secure fit for training
and sparring. Another innovative feature of our new lace up gloves, is
our padded pockets around the base/wrist. These pads add extra
protection when blocking punches and kicks.
<br />
Of course our new gloves have all of the same high end technologies that
our other gloves are known for. Our ReActive™ Tech top layer foams
helps the boxing glove absorb impact and protect the user while our Core
Dry™ Tech moisture repellent nylon inside liner, allows the boxing
gloves to dry 70% faster and eliminates odor.
<br />
<br />
We are very happy and excited about our new lace up pro boxing gloves
and look forward to continuing to innovate and produce the highest
quality mma, boxing and <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Martial-Arts-Muay-Thai-s/345.htm">muay thai</a> products.

The pound for pound best fighter in the planet <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Anderson-Silva-1356" target="_blank">Anderson Silva</a>
is defending his middleweight title against a very dangerous opponent
in Chris Weidman. Also on the card is Franke Edgar who is making his
second appearance at feather weight as well as jiu jitsu mater Roger
Gracie, who has a heavyweight on his shoulders with his last name.
<h2>
Anderson Silva vs Chris Weidman</h2>
Can Anderson do it again? For sure he could, and has a very good chance
of defending his middle weight title yet again. Or is Chris Weidman the
man to beat the King? One could make a strong case for Weidman to be the
man for the job. There is no mistaking in the person to beat Anderson,
will have to out wrestle him and control him for 5 rounds. The formula
has been seen in action and almost to perfection from Chael Sonnen. The
question begs to be asked is Weidman better than Sonnen? Although Sonnen
has accomplished more in mma in terms of bouts and facing top level
opponents, Weidman is definitely the better MMA fighter. Weidman has
brown belt in brazilian jiu jitsu, and has developed some solid striking
skills as well. I cant see Weidman out striking Silva, but he will
defiantly put Anderson on his back more than once, and once he has him
down, he is not getting up. But this is a 5 round fight, so the champ
will have his opportunities to do what he does. Im going to go with
Silva by tko, round 3.
<br />
<h2>
Frankie Edgar vs Charles Oliveira</h2>
The former lightweight champion makes his second appearance at his natural weight class, when he faces brazilian import <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Charles-Oliveira-s/249.htm">Charles Oliveria</a>.
Frankie faces a long and rangy in Oliveria but one would expect Edgar
to be able to move in and out and score with his boxing. And if he ever
does get into any kind of trouble, then taking downy the tall brazilian
fighter shouldn't be a probably. I see a Unanimous decision for Edgar.
<br />
<h2>
Roger Gracie vs Tim Kennedy</h2>
A Gracie returns to the octagon, and its not Royce. Roger Gracie is
one of the greatest partitioners of jiu jitsu, of the present and his
been able to showcase these skills in most of his mixed martial arts
bouts. With the exception of Muhammed Lawal, this is Gracies toughest
test to date against Tim Kennedy. Kennedy is a very explosive athlete
how packs a lot power, but seems to be more comfortable on the ground.
Kennedy shouldn't have any issues taking Gracie to the mats, but is that
his best idea. I think he will keep it on the feet and box, with the
long limbed Gracie. I see a tko for Kennedy in the opening round.<br />
<br />
Other matches on the card include a middle clash of titans with Mark
Munoz vs Tim Boetsch as well as feather weights Dennis Siver and Cub
Swanson. Both bouts will be fun to watch, but i have a feeling the two
featherweights are going to steal the show.<br />

<h1>
<img alt="Muay Thai Fighter" class="img-left" src="http://www.kimurawear.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/muay-thai-00.jpg" />
</h1>
<br />
The art of muay thai is often considered to be the most devastating of
the striking arts by many. Its easy to see why after one watches a full
thai rules match. The combination of kicks, knees, elbows and punches
can create a
formidable weapon that generates power like no other martial art. A leg
kick by a trained thai fighter is the equivalent of hitting someone in
the leg with a baseball bat. The art of muay thai can be deadly indeed,
but that is not what it is about to the people of Thailand. It is a
very spiritually martial that is heavily ingrained into the culture of
Thailand.
<br />
<h2>
History</h2>
The early history of muay thai is hard to trace as the archives and
records at Ayuddhaya where destroyed with much at the thai capital by
the Burmese. It is known that a form of muay thai was used as training
for the Thai army and used in hand to hand combat during battle. The art
went from battle field training to more of a spectator event, that was
often a big part in festivals and celebrations. Fighters would
eventually use hemp rope around there hands, a precursor to <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Boxing-Gloves-s/285.htm">boxing gloves</a>.
<br />
During the reign of Rama V, Thailand was at peace with its neighbours
and the whole country prospered. Rama V, took a keen interest to the art
and its popularity was greatly increased. Training camps began to pop
up, where masters of the art would train students who in turn received
food and shelter. Students would often adopt the camps name as there own
surname as everyone one at the camp was seen as family.
It was not until the reign of RamaVII that rules where written down and
adopted. The first boxing rings were built and referees where placed in
the ring with the fighters. Rounds where timed and more modern <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/14-oz-Muay-Thai-Gloves-p/0462.htm">muay thai gloves</a> were used as well as cotton ankle protectors.
<br />
The modern age of muay thai, has seen a growth of the art through the
sport of mma, but purest of the art would say that mma has diluted the
true form of muay thai.
<br />

Famous Muay Thai Practitioners</h2>

<li>Buakaw Por. Pramuk - Two Time K1 Max Grand Prix Champion</li>
<li>Yodsanklai Fairtex - Three Time Lumpinee Stadium champion</li>
<li>Ramon Dekkers - First foreigner in Thailand to be chosen as the "Muay Thai Fighter of the Year"</li>

<img alt="MMA T-Shirt" class="blog-img-01" src="http://www.kimurawear.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/mma-t-shirt-01.jpg" />
When Kimurawear was first created, the company was purely a producer of
mma clothing and apparel. Although our primary business is now in the
mma gear and equipment, we still take great pleasure offering some
unique mma clothing.
<br />
<br />
Our newest concept for mma apparel line is combat brand. This is our
second product for this line. Our first combat brand item was our black <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/MMA-Hoodie-p/0495.htm">mma hoodie</a>, that we we released this past winter. It was such a success that we knew we needed to build upon this.
<br />
<br />
What is combat brand? Combat brand is a lifestyle, and a attitude. It
means that you don't go to the gym to lift weights and look buff. You
go the gym and train in one or more martial arts. You sweat and bleed on
the mats, and leave everything behind in the gym. You leave the gym
with your head held high knowing that you give it all you had. Thats
what combat brand means.
<br />
<br />
Our latest addition to this line is a two color <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/MMA-T-Shirts-s/118.htm">mma t-shirt</a>.
Since we have released these tees they have been flying out of our
warehouse and right into our loyal customers hands. Look for more combat
brand lifestyle mma clothing to coming out later this summer.

<img alt="TJ Grant" class="blog-img-01" src="http://www.kimurawear.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/gloves-wraps-01.jpg" /><br />
You've finally done it. You got your but a local mma gym and signed up.
You are ready to take a few different classes, but you don't know what
kind of mma gear you need. No need to worry, we are here to give you the
run down, on what you may need or not need for begging training in
mixed martial arts.
<br />
<h2>
MMA/Boxing Gloves:</h2>
The most important piece of mma training equipment that you will
purchase are your training gloves. Most striking classes are not mma
specific and more than likely just involve stand up techniques. <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Boxing-Gloves-s/285.htm">Boxing training gloves</a>
are great for all types of stand up training. The bigger the glove, the
more protection is provided to the user. A 16 oz glove is used for
sparring while a 12 oz glove is great for everyday pad, or bag work. <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Womens-MMA-Gloves-p/0493.htm">MMA gloves</a>
are used for light sparring and grappling and not the first piece of
mma gear that you should buy, but something that you might want to look
at down the road.
<br />
<h2>
Hand Wraps:</h2>
Are hand wraps a must for mma training. If you are just learning how to punch then absolutely. <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Hand-Wraps-s/290.htm">Hand wraps</a>
are designed to give you proper wrist support, which is very important
for beginners who may throw punches incorrectly and take a lot of
punishment on there wrist. Wither you are a pro or a rookie, hand wraps
are an absolutely essentially for protecting your hands and wrists.
<br />
<h2>
Mouth Guard:</h2>
How important are mouth guards in contact sports in general? Just ask your buddy who is missing his two front teeth. <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Mouth-Guard-p/0325.htm">Mouth guards</a>
are a must for all mma practitioners doing live sparring sessions.
Although sparring sessions should be controlled you never know what can
happen and its better to safe than sorry. Many grapplers and jiu jitsu
practitioners use a mouth guard when rolling, to prevent any damage.
You may not need a mouth guard on your first day, but eventually your
going to have to grab one.
<br />
<h2>
Head Gear:</h2>
Your most important asset is your brain, so its best to be proactive
about it. When you get more advanced and begin sparring, you should
always wear <a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/MMA-Head-Gear-s/287.htm">head gear</a>.
It may be uncomfortable at first, but you need to get used to it and
keep it on. If you are doing light sparring and are an advanced student
of mma, then you can away with out wearing your head gear. <br />
<h2>
Shin Guards:</h2>
<a href="http://www.kimurawear.com/Shin-Guards-p/0196.htm">Shin guards</a>
are a used for light to heavy sparring sessions, in either stand up
fighting or full mma training. They are must if you would like to take
your training to another level and get some real live sparring sessions .
You need to be able to react to kicking techniques in a safe
environment,as well throwing your own kicking techniques. If you are
starting out, then you may not need to purchase shin guards, but in the
long run, they are must for anyone looking to compete or reach there
potential as a martial artist.

Saturday night at <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/events/UFC-160-Velasquez-vs-Bigfoot-2-28051" target="_blank">UFC 160</a>.
<br />
<br />
Gray Maynard was TJs biggest named opponent to date. The former 2 time
lightweight challenger had beaten many of the UFCs top lightweights and
only tasted defeat once in his career. His aggressive wrestling style
has given many opponents problems, and his boxing skills have greatly
improved through out his UFC career.
<br />
<br />
Since dropping to lightweight from the welter weight division, TJ has
impressed in everyone of his bouts. He scored victories over Shane
Roller, Carlo Prater, Evan Dunham and most recently knocked out Mat
Wiman. With the later two wins, TJ gained a lot of attention from the
UFC brass and was awarded the bout with Maynard.
<br />
<br />
Next up for TJ is champion Benson Henderson. This bout will is expected
to take place later this year. Benson is a physical special with a well
rounded skills and has not lost in the UFC. TJ will be sure to pressure
the champ and hope to catch him with a big right hand and put <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cole_Harbour,_Nova_Scotia" target="_blank">Cole Harbor Nova Scotia</a> on the map.

<h2>
Main Event</h2>
The heavyweight title is up for grabs this saturday May 25th at the MGM
Grand Garden Arena in Lav Vegas, Nevada. Challenger Antonio Silva steps
up to take on the champ Cain Velasquez. This two have already looked
horns once, at UFC 146. In that bout Cain completely dominated Silva
with viscous ground and pound and force the stoppage in the first round.
Since then Cain has reclaimed his title and Antonio upset the heavily
favoured Alistair Overreem. Can Silva cause another upset and take the
title from Cains hands? I think not. Cain is a different animal compared
to Silva, and his pace and wrestling ability should wear down the
bigger man in Antonio. Look for another tko victory for Cain, 3rd round.
<br />
<h2>
Co-Main Event</h2>
In the co main event of the evening two large men will battle for a
potential shot at the winner of the main event. Both fighters in Junior
dos Santos and Mark Hunt, prefer to fight on the feet and this bout
should be no different. Can Mark Hunt continue he's knock out streak? Or
will Junior bounce back after his 5 round drubbing in his last fight. I
think if Junior where to play it smart you could take the New Zealander
down and more or less win that fight that way, as hunt is more or less a
fish out of water on the mat. Its a dangerous game on the feet for both
guys,
Im going to go with Junior by decision
<br />
<h2>
TJ Grant</h2>
A pivotal lightweight bout between TJ Grant and Gray Maynard takes place
on the main card, with the winner more or less be declared the number
one contender.
TJ Grant has looked unbeatable since his move down to lightweight, and
is Canada s best beat at a lightweight champion. He blends his solid
muay thai skills, with a very slick ground game. On the other hand the
only kind of fighters TJ struggled with at welterweight were wrestlers.
Gray Maynard is most definitely the best wrestler he was faced to date.
Maynard has also picked up some solid boxing skills, and has some KO
power in this hands. This is a great fight on paper, with my vote going
to the Canuck, TJ Grant by decision.
<br />
<h2>
Colton Smith</h2>
Ultimate fighter 16 winner and army ranger Colton Smith, has his first
bout since winning the competition. Standing in his way is Ultimate
Fighter: The Smashes winner Robert Whittaker. The first time two
ultimate fighter winners are facing each other in there first official
UFC bout. Whittaker is a young well rounded fighter but he hasn't faced
an opponent like Smith before. Colton's grappling skills are top notch
and he seems to shut down everybody that he faces and grinds them out.
Smith should earn the victory with a decision win.

<img alt="anthony-birchak.jpg" class="blog-img-01" src="http://www.kimurawear.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/anthony-birchak-01.jpg" />
<br />
Anthony Birchak is the number 1 bantamweight for the Maximum Fighting
Championship. He doesn't have a title to prove it yet, but sounds like
he will have that opportunity very soon.
<br />
<br />
Anthony comes form a strong wrestling background in both freestyle and
greco-roman. He was able to win the greco roman championship 4
consecutive times as well the freestyle state championship 3 consecutive
times while in high school.
In college Anthony continued find success when became a three time state
medalist and a state runner up in 2003. Using his strong wrestling
skills as a base, Birchak has been able to become a complete mma fighter
and amassed an impressive 9-1 record.
<br />
<br />
On May 10th at MFC 37 True Grit, Birchak found himself in the main event
against talented striker Ryan Benoit. Birchak was able to neutralize
Benoits striking techniques with a relentless wrestling attack that say
most of the bout take place on the ground. Both fighters had dominant
positions throughout out the fight, but Birchak seemed to haves Benoit
in trouble more often and displayed a high level jiu jitsu game. As the
fight went on, Benoit seemed to tire and Birchak continued to attack and
was able to easily get the nod from all three judges.
<br />
<br />
With this impressive victory Brichak has solidified his status as the
number one bantamweight fighting for the MFC. His next fight will be for
the vacant MFC bantamweight title against an unknown opponent.
Chances are this young prospect is going to be staying around for while.
<br />
<br />
We at Kimurawear are very happy to be working with Anthony Birchak, not
only is he a young and talented fighter but he has the personality to
got with it.
We see big things happening for this guy.

MFC 37 True Grit, goes down tomorrow night at he shaw conference Centre
in Edmonton Alberta. Unfortunately the main event between surging
Canadian heavyweight Smealinho Rama, and American Chris Barnett hasbeen
cancelled, but Kimruawear sponsored fighter Anthony Birchak and his
opponent have stepped up to highlight the stacked card. Also on the card
are Kimurawear athletes Jason Zentgrag and Muaki Maromo.
<br />
<h2>
ANTHONY BIRCHAK</h2>
Anthony Birchak fights Ryan Benoit in the main event of MFC 37 tomorrow
night. The winner of this bout is guaranteed an opportunity to fight for
the inaugural bantamweight tile at a future MFC event. Birchak looks to
seize this opportunity and make a statement as the top 135 pound
fighter in the MFC. Birchak who fights out of Apex MMA in Tucson AZ,
made a name for himself as a finisher by winning his first 4 bouts by
submission. After compiling a an 8-1 record, Birchak got an opportunity
to headline an event at Jacksons MMA in Albuquerque, NM. He faced one
Jacksons MMA top prospects in Matt Leyva, and was able to finish him in
82 seconds by tko. This fight put Anthony on the radar of a lot
promoters, and he signed an exclusive deal with Canada s top promotion
in MFC.
<br />
<h2>
JASON ZENTGRAF</h2>
Jason Zentgraf has already complied a 2-0 record in the MFC's
middleweight division. Zentgraf looks to make it 3 in a row tomorrow
night in Edmonton and make a claim for the vacant 185 pound strap.
He faces brazilian jiu jitsu and judo black belt Luke Harris. Although
all of Jasons victories have come by way of submission, he should have a
solid striking advantage against the hometown fighter Harris.
With both fighters being high level grapplers, the one who can out
strike there opponent in this bout should walk away with the victory and
a possible title shot.
<br />
<h2>
MUAKI MAROMO</h2>
Muaki Maromo is one of the most exciting fighters to watch on the MFC
roster. He is a very explosive athlete that brings in a very solid muay
thai background. Coming off a loss in his last bout, Muaki should be
looking to make a statement and let everyone know that he is a top
contender in the MFC's lightweight division. Prior to Maromo's last bout
he had complied an ultra impressive record in of 4-0 in the MFC. Muaki
had beaten title challenger Adam Lynn on two occasion, with the second
fight ending in highlight reel ko fashion. Maromo's next fight is
against a familiar opponent in Kurt Southern. The two faced each other
over two years ago, and Southern was the victory handing Muakai his
first loss. Maramo is a much different fighter now and intends on
showing that when he faces southern for the second time.

<p>Last year Kimurawear released its first SE series <a href="https://www.kimurawear.com">Boxing Glove</a> and the response was overwhelming. Our loyal customers snapped them up as quickly as they came in, and the feed back was great. What grabs the end users attention, are the visual aspects of the glove. We created a visual stunning pattern on the glove that quickly irks the customers interest. We used a specially carbon fiber blend called Rexon for the construction of the SE series. This durable material has the ability to retain detailed artwork, much better than premium leather. Another aspect of the glove that is worth talking about is the feel of the glove. Everyone who puts one of these babies on mentions something about the boxing gloves comfort and feel.</p>
<h2>TECHNOLOGY</h2>
<p>
Our SE Series Boxing Gloves also have all the perks of our original series. All of our gloves are fitted with our ReActive™ and Core Dry™ Techs. Our ReActive™ Tech top layer foams helps the boxing glove absorb impact and protect the user while our Core Dry™ Tech moisture repellent nylon inside liner, allows the boxing gloves to dry 70% faster and eliminates odor.
</p>
<h2>THE FUTURE</h2>
<p>
So far we have released two editions of our SE Series Boxing Gloves(<a href="https://www.kimurawear.com/16-oz-Boxing-Gloves-SE-Series-p/0500.htm">Red</a>, and <a href="https://www.kimurawear.com/16-oz-Boxing-Gloves-SE-Series-p/0500-2.htm">Carbon Fiber</a>). We plan on releasing our third sometime this summer. We have a few different ideas going around with color and design, and im sure its going to blow most away. Remember that these are limited run boxing gloves, so when there gone, there gone.

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_Fighting_Championships">Pride FC</a>, the greatest mixed martial arts promotion of all time had absolutely no elbows as one of there rules. The current juggernaut of MMA(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Fighting_Championship">UFC</a>), has all the elbows anyone could ask for. Who has it right? Are they both right? Lets discuss they good the bad and the ugly of elbows in mixed martial arts.</p>
<h2>THE GOOD</h2>
<p>A nicely placed standing elbow can be a thing of beauty and change the momentum of a fight. Muay thai elbow techniques are both technical and brutal when applied correctly in an mma bout. This kind of technique is not one for beginners and takes time to master. Standing elbows can be thrown from the clinch or from a medium range between fighters. These techniques are not always seen in mma due to there difficulty and there lower percentage chance of landing.</p>
<h2>THE BAD</h2>
<p>While in his opponents guard a wrestler drops his elbow less than an inch onto his opponents face. A deep cut is opened up and blood begins to pump out and cover the face of the bottom fighter. This scenario seems play out in a many mixed martial bouts, and may even be a strategy of some fighters. Many fights are stopped due to a cut. Often times the fighter that gets the loss is perfectly fine to continue, expect for the blood that is flowing into his eyes. Is that really sport? How satisfying is it to win a fight by cut? Was it definitive? Did you really win?</p>
<h2>THE UGLY</h2>
<p>Have you ever seen a UFC broadcast start and there is a one spot on the canvass that is completely stained in blood. Chances are that a ground and pound elbow was unskillful dropped on an opponent, and the blood started spouting like a fountain. It amazes me that the UFC hasn't taken out grounded elbows. The UFC is MMA and what they do will set a precedent for the smaller shows to follow. How many more people would accept MMA as a sport with out all the blood that comes with it? Granted blood comes with many other techniques, but 95% of the time its from a grounded elbow strike. Is there a huge fan base that is only watching for the blood? Perhaps, but true fans of the sport don't scream for blood or want to see a fight stopped but cut.</p>
<h2>THE VERDICT</h2>
<p>Standing elbows: Good</p>
<p>Ground elbows: Bad</p>
<p>Will this change in the foreseeable future: HELL NO, I guess I will always have my old Pride Fc dvds.</p>
