THROWDOWN in T-TOWN!

What a night, what a weekend! We rolled out like non-other. Just like to give thanks to KISW 99.9 on putting on one hell of a show. Ending with the fight of the year. We give big props to Thee Ted Smith from the "Mens Room" on coming out strong and popping RR with a clean right hand. That woke RR up and let him know he was in a fight. After the ugly boxing ended RR started using his jab and controlled the fight from there. Ending Thee Ted Smith run for the "King of KISW" with a blistering right hand. Ted got up then RR went back to work on the jad and the right hand after a few right hands ted went down face 1st and the ref stopped it. What a fight, what a beating. Special thanks to The BJ SHEA Show for all the great work they did on promoting this fight!

I have had the good fortune of meeting some really cool people that joined the gym. That is one of the perks of running a gym and being in the fitness industry. I get to meet and know lots of great people. One of these special people is Pastor Lief Moi. Pastor Lief was the first person to sign up for the new MMA program in January. He signed up his two boys Lars and sven. As I got to know Lief more through training together I discovered he was a very real and down to earth man. He is the type of person you can talk to and be real with without being judged. Lief invited me to a morning prayer group for men. I attended a mens prayer group at Mars Hill Eastside. I thought the group of men were very nice, and the fellowship with fellow brothers was a long needed breath of fresh air. I took my family to the church and we decided to attend Mars Hill Eastside regularly. Lief and I talked about starting a mens MMA class for his Church Mars Hill Eastside. Sounded good to me so we announced it at the church and got a overwhelming response. We started running classes on Thursday and Saturday mornings. We start the meetings with about twenty minutes of going through the "Word", then we finish with some basic boxing. Currently we are going through the book of Peter. The group is a lot of fun, I really enjoy teaching the guys and I find the bible study helps me stay grounded. I have made some new friends and training partners. I'm thankful for the opportunity to share with these men. Pastor Jesse Winkler, Mike Angeles, Michael Rood, Lars Moi, Sven Moi, Lief Moi and the entire Moi family for that matter. You all make my life much richer. I'm truly grateful and honored to be able to use my talents in the Martial Arts to serve god and help people get healthier mentally, physically and spiritually.

Special thanks to all our friends and family who came out to support Yong and Nick, and also for West Coast Fitness for putting on a great show!

Coach Joe's fitness products evaluation:  In my 15 years in the fitness industry I've seen numerous gimmicks on TV on different types of fitness equipment.  Most are just that a "GIMMICK".  This last year I came across a simple device called a TRX.  Fitness Anywhere is the company who makes it.  It is a simple device designed to train the entire body.  It is small, you can take it with you to your gym use it at home or hook it up outside to a tree, swing set or anything sturdy.  If you travel this is a great investment.  It is great for teen age kids who need to develop core strength.  Anyone at any fitness level can easily work with the TRX.  I train Pro MMA fighters on this as well as people in their 50's.  Anyone can use it and get a great workout, I think this is an awesome piece of equipment.  I would highly recommend it.  Click on the TRX link our teameastsidemma.com website and it will forward you to the TRX home page.  full contact fitness is team Eastside's affiliate code.  stay tuned on the blog for different series exercises you can perform.  Ask a coach at the gym to show you a series of exercises at the gym,  Give the TRX a try you will love it.
