Lyoto Machida

Monday, May 18th, 2009

As many may know, Lyoto Machida was trained in Bushido Karate by his father, a native of Japan, who migrated to Brazil as a young man. Lyoto was raised in a dojo, and here is a video showing a short history of his father, and Lyoto’s motivation for UFC 98, and martial arts. This is a video I found on Fight Ticker:

My first Video-O Soto Gari

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

I just posted a YouTube video that I made with my brother.  The video is of O Soto Gari, a Judo throw.  I didn’t notice at the time I made it that my brother’s kids were in the background talking and asking him questions.  I thought it was funny so I left it in.  Also, after you watch the video, go check you the next video which is highlights of Judo throws in competition.  It’s pretty good and give a good demostration of how Judo can be used (at least in competition).

Tito?

I found this picture on joemonster.org.  There are some pretty funny pictures there.  I hate to say it Tito, but there is a resemblance.
