Mixed Martial Arts/MMA: UFC 133 Jorge Rivera vs Costantinos Philippou

On By Forged Bjj Krav MagaIn BJJ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, DWMMA, DWMMA - Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Events, Fitness, Mixed Martial Arts, MMALeave a comment

T- 4 days until UFC 133 on August 6th at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center.  UFC 133 is headlined by former light heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz and Rashad Evans squaring off for the second time.

Check out Dragon Within Mixed Martial Art‘s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ) mentor BJJ Black Belt Tim Burrill in the corner for UFC Middleweight, Jorge “El Conquistador” Rivera in his fight against Costantinos Philippou. Originally, the opponent for Jorge was Alessio Sakara but Sakara had to drop out due to a knee injury.  Castantinos (Casta), who was originally matched up with Rafael Natal on the UFC 133 undercard, will be stepping up to meet with Jorge.

The match-up between Rivera and Sakara is seemingly doomed since this will be the third match up attempt and third time scratched.   Either way,  whether its Sakara or Casta–Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts will be watching Jorge “El Conquistador” Rivera use all the submissions and chokes and sweeps he taught us at the last Brazilian Jiu Jitsu(BJJ)/Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) workshop.

Why Women Should Take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Women’s Self-Defense

On By Forged Bjj Krav MagaIn BJJ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, DWMMA, DWMMA - Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Events, Fitness, Media, Mixed Martial Arts, MMA, MMAXOUTLeave a comment

 

Through my observations: it seems that most grappling classes are male dominant. It’s not that there are a lot of women coming in and getting turned off by something that surrounds our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes; it seems that women just aren’t aware of the benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training and not coming in to see exactly what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ) really is about.  So that leads me to ask why aren’t there more women taking interest in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ)?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It can be a dangerous world for a woman and almost ALL RAPES happen being pinned to the ground by a bigger, stronger opponent. Wouldn’t you want to feel confident that if someone were to gain dominance over you on the ground, you would have the knowledge to possibly prevent the rape and save your life?

Women should take more interest in Martial Arts in general…not only for the self-defense aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ), Thai Kickboxing, Filipino Jiu-Jitsu, or Mixed Martial Arts(MMA), but for the empowerment of being a woman. It is definitely a confidence builder and who doesn’t want more confidence? It’s fun and active. It’s a great way to stay in shape and increase flexibility.  Taking martial arts or a group sport, in general, helps you meet new people with similar interest; however, the power of community among members at Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA, is incredible.

At Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA, we don’t just teach you a series of moves for self-defense. We instill within you the confidence, through self-defense, to know you are prepared to handle yourself in ANY situation.

Confidence Through Self-Defense

On By Forged Bjj Krav MagaIn BJJ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, DWMMA, DWMMA - Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Events, Fitness, Media, Mixed Martial Arts, MMALeave a comment

 Confidence: the certainty in your ability to successfully achieve your goals and the resiliency to withstand the challenges along the way.

Everybody wants to feel confident some way or another. I find that confidence is one of the most sought after benefits of those seeking self-defense training. Whether it is for self-assurance that you could defend yourself, or just to be able to say you are confident in yourself; self-defense is a great way to boost your confidence level.

The fact that you have even thought about taking martial arts shows that you want to gain confidence in your life in some way or another and walking in is taking the first step to proving to yourself, and others, that you have confidence.  However, finding the path to confidence lies with more than just martial arts training. It takes a positive attitude and an open mind.  Martial arts training will help you, help yourself, gain more confidence. Whether it’s Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ), Filipino Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or if you want your child to gain more confidence through our Children’s Programs; Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts is teaching the most realistic and practical self-defense classes in the North Shore and surrounding areas.

At Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA, we don’t just teach you a series of moves for self-defense. We instill within you the confidence, through self-defense, to know you are prepared to handle yourself in ANY situation.

UFC 133 is coming up on August 6th on Pay Per View and it gives us a good reason to watch here at Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA.  They have Evans Vs Ortiz as the main event, but we are more excited about who is on the main fight card:  
JORGE RIVERA vs CONSTANTINOS PHILIPPOU.

Jorge, aka El Conquistador, came to Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA, along with BJJ Black Belt: Tim Burrill, to our Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) workshop.  He helped us all with our submissions and everybody liked learning techniques from a fighter who has actually had success in the cage from the same sweeps and submissions that he demonstrated for us.  It was one of our most successful and fun workshops and we were delighted that he came to our school to teach us.

 

Also on the Main Fight Card:

Vitor Belfort vs Yoshihoro Akiyama
Dennis Hallman vs Brian Ebersole
Rory MacDonald vs Mike Pyle
Mat Hamill vs Alexander Gustafsson
Chad Mendes vs Rani Yahya
Ivan Manjivar vs Nick Pace
