A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

Ok, I admit; I forgot to ask Coach again. Not to worry- I work with his brother-in-law and he did know the answer. 1A is a reference to the size of the school's enrollment. 1A is smaller school. University of Wyoming is 1A and thier wrestling team competes as "independant", though they tend to rank well.

Pan Quan - I still haven't been able to find a vid of my last fight. I will ask the promoter for a copy when I see him next . Speaking of which, on September 15, i am Fighting Joe Pearson for the Total Fight Challenge 145lb title. Pearson is a Pride Fighting Veteran and has the nickname of the 'Triangular Strangler'. His last fight was against WEC champ Urijah Faber. I on the other hand, have been practicing my Snake Fist against the 5-7 year olds at my school and i feel very comfortable with the results. Should be a helluva fight!!

comentary from the guys taping those vids was pretty funny.
Anyways, charles good fight and good luck with everything. Give you props for getting into the ring and learning each time. Doesn't matter, about the win thing, just nice to have, matters is that you come out with something new and a path to follow on how you should get better.

Actually for what ever reasons these website never updated Sifu Charles record, last I checked his amatuer record was around 12-1-0 and his pro record was 6-5.
BUT, and here's the big but, I think it was 4 out of 5 of those losses (Sifu Charles will have to give more detail) was in my opionion party or largely due to him stepping up in weight classes just to get a fight.
He was fighting guys who walk around at 180lbs and he walks around at 150lb. these guys would just muscle out of his holds. NONE of them EVER hurt him.
at the end of the day that means ALOT if not almost everything when two equally skilled grapples are going at ground fighting.
he finally listened and fought and won a title at his own weight division two weeks ago, completely smashed Pride vet named Joe Pearson and took his belt.
So before you say is is just an "OK fighter" do one of two things, either attend one of his fights or get in the ring with him. I think you'll change your mind.
Either way the youtube video shows only one of his 20 plus mma matches in which he won like 18 including his last win, plus he has won other belts.
so my point is , don't be so quick to judge without truly knowing all of the facts.
All the best-

Well said!
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

What constitutes MMA? if you have 20 years in a TMA and 1 or 2 years in say BJJ or wrestling, does that make you a mixed martial artist? I got in this debate before. I was trying to defend TCMA and someone said that it is ineffective in fights. I told this person I used my kung fu and beat the guy with a guillotine choke. He informed me that I was a mmartist because I had finished with a choke and that if I hadn't used the BJJ choke I would have goeten beat. Can someone clarify what constitutes a MMA?
