My Favorite Squat Thrust Complex
For this squat thrust workout, you will need a pair of dumbbells. Preferably hex dumbbells. I love this one because you get a full body workout and if you perform the moves at a good pace you’ll not only get a great strength workout but a cardiovascular workout as well! Enjoy!
- While standing with the dumbbells held to your sides, squat down placing both dumbbells by you r feet.
- Thrust your feet backwards into a push up position.
- Complete one push up then a one arm row with your left arm while balancing your weight on the other arm.
- Complete one push up then a one arm row with your right arm this time while balancing your weight on the other arm.
- Complete one push up then hop your feet back to its original starting position when you first squat down.
- Now stand up, perform a bicep curl to an over head press, back down, and now you are finished with the rotation.
Steps 1 – 6 equates to only one rep! Let the pain begin! Enjoy!

Dutch or Thai Kickboxing?
This is a topic of discussion that I’ve noticed has come up quite a bit on martial arts forums. A pretty big topic on the subject that has come up that differentiates the 2 styles is in the kicks or the execution of techniques. I found a quick but good explanation on the difference’s of the kicking styles wrote by Khun Kao on MMA.tv. Here goes…
To me, it seems that the primary difference in the delivery of the kicks comes down to the rotation. The Kyokushin kick does not rotate as completely as a Thai Kick. Therefore, a Kyokushin style kick requires that you get more leg into it.
If you look, the Kyokushin stylists are flat-footed in their kicks. You can only rotate the hip to a finite degree in that method. Therefore, a Kyokushin stylist must really drive with the leg itself more. Its a powerful, bludgeoning kick!
Now look at the Thai stylists. They are all on the balls of their feet. This allows the rotation to continue throughout the entire motion of the kick. When executed properly, these kicks are almost all hip!
Both kicking styles are extremely powerful. Which is better? The one that fits your game.

ADCC North American Trials
Saturday, October 28th, 2006 Wayne, NJ
The ADCC’s North American Trials were completed, and it was a day full of surprises and amazing performances. Despite losing in the finals of the lightweights, Jeff Glover went home with the Most Technical Fighter award. For the first time in the NA Trials, the weight divisions were expanded to 16 men, so 2006 saw the tournaments grow into attritive battles that were very compelling – the Trials has lifted it’s level yet again.
Champion Sim Go took home the title in the lightweifghts, using a highly technical and aggressive style similar to ADCC vet Baret Yoshida.
In the Welterweights, Canada’s Mark Bocek broke through and earned the title after several 2nd place finishes.
The cruiserweight division was hotly contested, with several wars in the semi-finals. Upstart Chris Moriarty went home with the title after taking out ADCC 2005 veterans Justin Garcia and Rick Macauley in a brutal field.
The lightheavyweight class saw Misha Cirkunov establish dominance in every single match with explosiveness, power and speed rarely seen at this weight class.
In the heavyweights, Mario Rinaldi of ATT took home the title, and treated the crowd to his patented back flip as well.
The newly expanded weight classes in the women’s division were a huge success, as the refined weight classes saw competitors from all over North America come to compete. The ladies did not dissappoint as the tournaments developed into great competitive battles.
Highly technical Felicia Oh from California earned the title in the newly minted Women’s Flyweight division. This weight class really turned in some compelling matches, proving that the two weight classes for the ladies used in the 2005 competition was not enough!
Cassandra Rivers-Blaso delivered the win in the lightweight division, defeating Laura D’Auguste, who competed very well throughout, despite a heavy focus on her MMA where she is acknowledged as #1 at her weight.
Kelly Paul from San Francisco battled to the title in what may have been the most competitive division all day.
Women’s Heavyweight champion Celita Schutz had pehaps the competiton’s best throws, as her Judo background led her to the title over highly technical
Olga Bakalopoulos. Both women were the class of what proved to be a very competitive field.
