Starting the New Year Right Jan 1st 2013 Galveston TX | Mixed Martial Arts Training

Today is the first day of the New Year! Some people are taking it easy some are getting busy. Put us on the list of getting busy! Paradigm is on the way down to train right now. So I'm going to get on the mats real quick and train. Ill make sure and take some pictures and videos to post later! TIME TO PUT ON THE GI! OOUUSS

Ok I'm back! We just had a gi training session then NOGI then back to gi! Feels great to start off the new year on the right foot! I love training sessions like the one we had just now. When people come from other gyms they bring a different style and different techniques. This is a huge advantage to the guys who want to compete or already do compete. Its pretty much like a competition in the room. But no one is keeping score and thinking they won the comp. Just hard rolling and sharing of BJJ techniques.

New Years MMA 2012 Galveston Texas!!!

This year Galveston MMA and CSI: Combat Sports Institute closed out the 2011 Mixed Martial Arts Season with a BANG!!

We had two fighters stepping into the cage. Chase Eastham was up first. This was his first MMA event. He has done a couple of BJJ and Wrestling tournaments. Now he wanted to step into the cage to fight.

Chase and Opponent

First round was Muay Thai Kickboxing. 

Second round was Muay Thai Kickboxing with Take Downs.

Third Round was Mixed Martial Arts.

Chase was able to go in there and fight hard. His combos looked clean and fast for the first round. The second round he took a couple of knees to the mid section. Chase slowed down a little after that and his opponent was able to squeeze out the victory. Overall it was a good showing for the young fighter.

Ralph Garcia was up next. Ralph's fighter backed out at the last minute but they were able to find someone to fight in his place. Luckily they found someone on last notice to fight. This was going to be a Muay Thai Kickboxing fight but at last minute they changed it to Mixed Martial Arts. That was not a problem for Ralph. The Galveston MMA fighter was able to go in and take care of business. The Ref had to stop the fight in under one minute. Ralph Garcia was able to take his opponent down early in the first round and finish with strikes!

Congrats to both fighters for going in there and putting it on the line. They both fought hard!!! Not everyone got what they wanted but it was still a good showing for the two CSI: Combat Sports Institute Fighters!

Frankie Edgar VS Grey Maynard Fight Number Three

Here we have two well rounded fighters ready to go to war again!! I am super excited to see these two athletes fight for the third time. The first fight Maynard won in a pretty dominate fashion. Second fight Edgar was able to come back from almost being TKO in the first round and won a decision over Maynard. This third fight can go either way in my opinion.

Both Edgar and Maynard have good Mixed Martial Arts game. Edgar has the edge on the stand up and has the edge on wrestling. So I might be leaning toward Edgar in this match. But after watching the last two fights you might want to put it all on Maynard.

On this UFC card you will see another great fight!! You will see Kenny Florian fight Jose Aldo. Man this is going to be a exciting fight. I think Florian might be able to last with aldo for the first couple of rounds. But Aldo always has vicious kicks and sick BJJ.
