Elite Sports Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi Review

January 10, 2020 By Pierre Smith Leave a Comment

Elite White BJJ GI details

This is my second Elite Sports Ultra Light Preshrunk White Gi and I love it because it is affordable, durable, and elegant. I’ve been rolling for two years at the best gym in the world, American Top Team headquarters in Coconut Creek Florida. Jiu Jitsu is the bread and butter of American Top Team so having the proper attire when stepping on the mats is paramount. Most people who had the privilege to train in Jiu Jitsu long enough know that white belts are the toughest players on the mats. White belts endure all types of abuse. They get smashed, submitted, and tested every day and yet, they still come back for more. As a white belt I am no exception. I get choked out, pinned, and … [Read more...]

Born Tough Momentum Track Suit Jogger Review

December 31, 2019 By Pierre Smith 1 Comment

born tough joggers review

These are great! I live in Florida and I prefer to work out in shorts. I rarely wear sweatpants, but the Born Tough sweatpants have opened my eyes to other options. These joggers were crafted with 92% polyester and 8% elastane. They do not have that heavy cotton feel. The sweatpants are light and breathable. They dry quickly and repel moisture which is ideal for active individuals.   The first thing I noticed about these sweatpants was the comfort. I immediately melted into them. The comfort level is ridiculous. The company obviously factored in the coziness and functionality. These sweats are super light and flexible. I feel like I’m naked when I’m wearing them. The joggers allow … [Read more...]

The Dark Side of Fighting: An Interview with K1 Champion Pascal Schroth on Quinghao Meng, WLK Fight Promotions and Breaking His Neck in the Ring

Pascal Schroth broken neck

On October 20th, 2018, Muay Thai champion Pascal Schroth, stepped into a ring in China to defend his K1 title under what he believed to be regular kickboxing rules. For the 25 year old champion, this bout was just another day at the office. His opponent, Quinghao Meng from Taicang China, was just another body in front of Pascal's ascent to superstardom.  As a matter of fact, Schroth's confidence was pretty high because he had already beaten Meng the year before. So on that Saturday night, despite the language barrier, the confusion, and the shady promoters, Schroth walked inside the ring but would have to carried out.   Schroth vs. Meng: Timeline of Events October 2017 at … [Read more...]

Switching It Up

July 7, 2017 By Pierre Smith Leave a Comment

traditional muay thai stance

Should fighters keep switching stances and keep going back and forth between orthodox and southpaw? History tells us no. The best fighters in the world, no matter the discipline, have stuck to one primary stance. Just look at Mayweather, Buakaw, Yodsanklai, Ali, and even George St. Pierre. However, this does not mean that a new generation has to follow suit. There is no rule book that says you have to stick to one. Let’s examine the pros and cons about going back and forth. Defense One of the main tenants of martial arts is to hit and not get hit. In order to do that, most of us practitioners have been taught to stand at an angle, keeping the dominant hand and leg behind. This means that … [Read more...]
