Who won? UFC 139 Hendo Vs Shogun

Anybody that had a chance to watch UFC 139– this article is just a reiteration of what you already knew… if you didn’t, then I suggest you go to PPV and order it to watch five round the match between Hendo vs. Shogun which was one of, if not THE, best fights in UFC history.  Both contenders fought with all of their effort and it was apparent.  However, the argument of it being a clear 48/47 victory for Dan Henderson is a little blurry for UFC fans, and even Dana White stating:

“I thought it was a draw,” White told MMAWeekly.com following the event.  “This is one of those tough fights.  In the first round, they both knocked each other down. You give Henderson the first three rounds. You give Shogun (round) four and 10-8 in the last round for a dominant round. It’s a draw, It’s one of those tough ones. That’s how I scored it.  I don’t consider myself a professional judge, but I had the fight a draw.”

Whether or not the fight was a draw or if Dan “Hendo” Henderson clearly beat Mauricio “Shogun” Rua is taking a backseat to the undeniable greatness that was this event.  Both men fought with every ounce of themselves and made UFC 139 an event to go down in MMA/UFC infamy!  What are your thoughts?

Why Train Krav Maga?/@DWMMA Salem MA

Krav Maga (Massachusetts) is a system; some would argue a philosophy; that was born out of necessity.  After Israel gained it’s independence in 1948, Krav Maga’s founder Imi Lichtenfeld was asked to develop an unarmed combat system for the state’s new army.  He had a problem though–this army wasn’t like most armies…Instead of physically fit, gung ho, 18 year old recruits–the Israeli Army was comprised of recruits ages 15-55. Imi had to come up with a realistic defense system that would work for everybody. The system, now known as, Krav Maga, had to be:

• Easy to learn
•  Easy to perform
• Easy to remember under stress
• Must work from an unprepared position.

Lucky for us, these same prerequisites apply to teaching self-defense in Salem Ma today.  At Dragon Within Martial Arts, you’ll learn  that the system is:

• Instinctual – rather than fighting your natural instincts, we’ll show you how Krav Maga Salem Mass, uses those instincts to your advantage.
• It is an integrated system – ideas like “redirect” the “pluck, which you’ll see in almost every class, are a few basic tools that are used over and over again. With fewer tools, it’s easier to remember.
• Krav Maga teaches you to defend and attack simultaneously, switching the balance of power to your favor.  It’s faster and it also prevents us from mentally falling into a “victim mentality”.
• You’ll see that Krav Maga teaches aggressiveness – this brings our training alive and in a real self-defense situation will neutralize the attacker more quickly.
• You’ll also see that we test our responses under stress – multiple attackers, from multiple directions.  You fight how you train.   How you respond in the gym is how you respond in the street.

While these are principles that were used to construct the system, there is only one “rule” in Krav maga: rules create limitations.  A street fight is not sport fighting.  The one rule… go home safely.

But enough reading about Krav Maga, come down to the academy to try it out!

Salem Youth, Shane LeFrancois Becomes a Certified Krav Maga Instructor

– LeFrancois endures three-day, 24-hour, certification exam to become DWMMA’s youngest Krav Maga Instructor –

Salem resident Shane LeFrancois,16, was notified today that he passed the Krav Maga Alliance Instructor Certification exam held on October 14-16th 2011 in Attleboro MA. Shane, a life-long martial artist, already holds a black belt in Shotokan Karate and has been an assistant instructor at Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts (DWMMA) for the past two years.

After a grueling 24-hour ordeal conducted over three-days; the exam tested physical fitness, knowledge of the martial arts and teaching abilities.  The resulting certification adds Krav Maga to Shane’s impressive arsenal of martial arts achievements.

Dennis Cregier, owner and head instructor of DWMMA Salem Mass commented on Shane’s achievement: “Of the 32 seasoned martial artists in attendance, Shane was definitely the youngest; there were men and women there who have been doing martial arts longer than Shane has been alive. … He did great.”   Alan Jenkins, Sr. Instructor at DWMMA added: “we are proud of him – a lot of people would have been intimidated; not him. He held his
own.” Five additional instructors from DWMMA got certified along with Shane, including: Dennis Cregier, Alan Jenkins, Greg Jackson, Peter Wellman and Andrew Boyd.

Developed by the Israeli Defense Forces and translated as “contact combat”, Krav Maga Salem Massachusetts has long been renowned as a complete, extremely effective, self-defense system. Emphasizing, both offensive and defense techniques, Krav Maga teaches students both self-defense techniques
as well as situational awareness – that is, recognizing and avoiding a potentially dangerous situation before it turns violent. In addition to the no-nonsense approach to self-defense, Krav Maga is a fun way to get seriously fit. Using rigorous calisthenics, punching bags and other boxing equipment, Krav Maga works different muscle groups every training session. With a varied workout, students will build muscle and shed pounds quickly, but remain challenged and engaged as they progress.

For the general public interested in learning more about Krav Maga, Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts (DWMMA) in Salem, Mass is hosting a FREE
Krav Maga workshop and Open House from 5-9pm. The open house will feature an introduction to Krav Maga, demonstrations and a hand-on self-
defense seminar. In addition, regular classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Thai Kickboxing and kids martial arts classes will be in session.

Krav Maga And Fitness

Is Krav Maga just for self-defense?

Why Train Mixed Martial Arts/MMA at DWMMA

Why Mixed Martial Arts?  What are the benefits of MMA/Mixed Martial Arts training and why is it more effective than traditional martial arts?  Success in Mixed Martial Arts/MMA lies in adapting many styles.  While each martial art has its attributes– it has its gaps as well.  By cross training in different arts, as you do with MMA/Mixed Martial Arts, you fill yourself with more knowledge of different self-defense skills that make for a more well-rounded defense system.

Cross training in different arts that compliment each other can be extremely beneficial to the practitioner by making your self-defense techniques more realistic and practical by filling the gaps that you encounter in each art.  This is why Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) is such an effective “fighting style”.  The definition of Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) isn’t the training of particular martial arts, or even necessarily to become a UFC fighter, like our former BJJ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/MMA Mixed Martial Arts mentor, Kenny “KenFlo” Florian–it’s a combination of many arts such as: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ), Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, Karate, Judo, Wrestling, and Western Boxing.  Our goal, at Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, is to offer you the most realistic, and functional self-defense training around and with cross training in different martial arts, you will be confident that you will be able to defend yourself in virtually ANY situation.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and It’s Relevence to the Street

There are many different reasons for training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or any type of martial arts–whether it’s for fitness, confidence, self-defense, competition or self-expression; each individual starts for his or her own reason.  Whatever it may be the motivates you to practice martial arts; I believe that deep down inside, everybody would like to feel that they could defend themselves if they had to.  Self-defense is one of the deepest roots and traditions of martial arts. 

So, how could practicing an art like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where no strikes are involved, teach you how to defend yourself in a situation where there are no rules?
The benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/BJJ, lie in the nature of the training and the aliveness of the art.  A skilled practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/BJJ, is used to feeling the pressure of an opponent, comfortable in physically stressful situations and can manipulate somebody else’s energy.

The sheer adrenaline and stress of a street altercation can be very shocking to your system as you undergo the “fight or flight” response.   I belive that after training and understanding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/BJJ, you will be able to maintain your composure and quick thinking in the high stress situation of a street fight, because it sharpens the body and the mind a very unique way.
