Lack Of Updates

Hey Guys and Gals,

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been focused a lot on my training and students lately. In fact, one of them may have his first fight coming up this year. As a result, my site has been neglected a bit. Just to give you a few updates with me, I have been taking a yoga course recently, and may be adding that to what I teach in the near future. I love Yoga, and find it helps immensly with proper breathing when you fight.

Also, a lot has been going on in the MMA world. There have been some great fights in the last month or so. Chuck Liddell should officially retire after that last fight. I have a lot of respect for both Pat Barry and Rich Franklin now. I’m really looking forward to the Carwin vs Lesnar fight coming up soon, as well as the UFC Fan Expo which will be in Boston in August.

At the end of the month, I will be in DC for a weekend. If anyone knows of a gym I should check out while I am in town, let me know and I’ll write up a review if I can make time to check it out.

So stay tuned in the coming week for some new updates. Thanks all.

MMA Conditioning Coach Certification Program

Since I am a coach/trainer, I am always looking for new training techniques, drills, etc to pass along to my students in their training. As I was searching for some MMA Drills recently, I found that Frankie Edgar’s MMA Strength and Conditioning coach has recently released a book in coordination with a training program. This is something that both students and instructors can benefit from. For those of you who own a school or personal training business, it’s also a great way to incorporate MMA Conditioning into your current curriculum. I watched a couple of the videos, and they are pretty cool. In fact some popular MMA Fighters such as Brandon Vera appear in the videos. For more info, click the banner or read further as I posted info below.

You can train the next MMA champion, or coach people who want to have the fitness and conditioning of a mixed martial artist!

We will teach you everything you need to operate
a highly profitable MMA conditioning business!
Work with pros or weekend warriors.
Make your fitness, conditioning business
or martial arts school stand above all others.

Your opportunities for success are endless!
This world-class program is designed for you if you are one of the following:

•A current MMA coach who want to enhance your skills and give your students the ultimate edge
•A fitness professional who is ready to make your mark in the industry and offer a high-level workout to your clients
•A traditional martial arts school owner who needs a serious business boost, and now want to add some aspects of MMA
•A fitness or martial arts enthusiast who is thirsty for knowledge and wants the latest training and conditioning strategies
•An MMA fighter who wants to live the ultimate MMA lifestyle – train, coach, fight!
The MMACA does not instruct or certify coaches in specific fighting strategies or styles. Fighting demonstrations are given in videos to show application of a specific training/conditioning technique or theory.

Hacked!!!!

Well, if any of you tried to visit my website within the last 24 hours or so, you may have noticed that it was temporarily down. This is because it was hacked. A virus was loaded into my server somehow and corrupted my admin area.

Without going into too much boring detail, I will explain to you that I run a WordPress Blog hosted on GoDaddy, which was one of the primary targets of these attackers. I will say that I was ultra disappointed in GoDaddy, for a complete lack of support, passing the buck to WordPress and allowing this attack to happen in the first place. If my site is hosted on their servers, and their servers are attacked, you would think they would take a certain amount of responsibility for it.

What made matters worse, is that I didn’t have a recent backup (Important Note: If you have a website or blog back it up to your local computer regularly), so basically the only way I could fix it was to sift through hundreds of lines of code in order to find the problem and remove it. Hence, that’s why the site was down for 24 hours or so.

I apologize for anyone who tried to visit and came up empty. Some recent posts you may have missed include the last couple UFC 113 videos and some information on the Tapout MMA Fantasy Camp. Check those posts out. I also have some information coming about a few recent events soon.

Oh yeah, I would like to thank the guys at http://sucuri.net/ for providing the malware removal tool. Thanks guys.
