What is a Smoker?

People often wonder what a typical fight day is like. That is what a we tried to capture in this small Vblog. The video takes us on a journey to a small kickboxing competition, called a smoker. The competition is to give the participants experience to help develop their martial arts.

The day is filled with a mixture of emotions and random events all happening simultaneously. On a side not, I don’t advise video taping and driving at the same time.

Food for Thought From the Jet

Benny “the jet” Urquidez is Pit legend and will go down in history as one of the best kickboxers to ever live. He retired with a professional record of 66-0 with 57 knockouts.  He competed in other combative rules competitions, including karate, boxing, and MMA. At the height of his career, he would accept fights from any opponent at any weight.

Glover Wins Again!

93 Kg – Glover Teixeira defeated Daniel Tabera via unanimous decision

In the evening’s main event, Glover Teixeira resorted to takedowns and solid ground work to dominate Spain’s Daniel Tabera, winning via unanimous decision. But for the first time in his last nine fights, Glover was made to go all three rounds to be proclaimed the victor. Glover is a dominating fighter, and has competed all over the world. He is very loved and missed at The PIT

Words of Wisdom from the Pit Master

“Push yourself hard in training, change it up.  Eat good wholesome foods (fruits, veggies, meat, milk, eggs, fish, fowl, nuts, grains, avocado). Meditate, Surround yourself with positive, successful people. Practice deep breathing exercise daily.  Be kind,generous and empathic, but don’t ever let someone take advantage of you, use you, or take your lunch money.  Chose your battles, but fight for what you believe in with all of  your power.  Take pride in your self, family, community, friends, country, race, skills, but be humble, and respect others’.  Live with passion.  Live by your own code…Bushido”
