February MMA Internet RoundupFiled Under: Rantings, Resources
If you’re going to be wasting time on the net, you might as well be wasting it in the right places.
Here have been some of my current favorites.
http://www.sherdog.net/forums/
In my opinion, the biggest and baddest MMA forum on the net. There are some reasonably smart and well trained guys posting in there, so you’ll probably be able to find decent answers to what you’re looking for. Also, if you desire to start a huge war about which fighter is the coolest, look no further for hours of entertainment and smack talk.

This is an oldie but goodie. It has a wealth of information, some MMA related, some traditional martial arts related. While combing the net for some solid advice on boxing, I found it here and have kept coming back. Pretty neat, like this brief, but accurate post on clinching without getting hit.
I know, it’s a body building site. I hate bodybuilding in general BUT… many articles written there have a semblance of science backing them up. You’ll see a few authors put the “works cited” section at the bottom with references to real medical journals and such. All in all, if you’re trying to find something specific, you might browse around here for a while. Plus, they’ll have little gems pop up from time to time.( Like the “Hammer Down” MMA workout series – part one Strength and part two Endurance.)
Ari Bolden and his jujitsu-loving team put together a nice website. Every video here is good quality, well presented, and technically sound. You want training on the Rubber Guard? Oh yeah, this is the place. The forums are pretty decent too. They have a good number of guys, and the useful-information-giver vs trolling-douche-bag ratio is very favorable. In a nutshell, it’s like the reverse of youtube.

T-Nation has a major issue with the majority of their articles being written like they have scientific semblance, but they mostly prey on uninformed gym go-ers who would believe anything with minutia of science behind it.
And sherdog forums are pure trash. Lots of uninformed posters who never actually train or know what they are speaking of. It’s the mainstream of MMA internet use, and it shows in it’s audience.
