FokaiAsia:A MessageFrom PROFighting

Royal Chiou sent a message to the members of PRO Fighting (MMA).

Subject: June 14th---Awakening

Thank you to everyone who attended PRO Fighting's 1st event!!!

It was an incredible experience from the productions & promotions side.  Definitely, very hectic and stressful at times.
Hopefully, everyone was able to enjoy the show or at least certain aspects of the show.  The feedback so far has been fantastic!!!  I am aware some things were not perfect, which only leaves room for growth and improvement.

Thanks to all my closest friends for their support and help, during & throughout all the chaos.  Without them, this event wouldn't have been possible.

PRO Fighting will be back at the grindstone in the next few weeks, preparing the line-up & festivities for the next event.
Believe it, that the next event will run smoother & have less hiccups than the first.  Things WILL only get better from here on out.

I have already begun to contact my overseas supporters and we are looking for strong MMA talents to come show Taiwan what MMA is all about.  

My goal in this journey is to grow the sport of MMA in Taiwan, & then hopefully one day, other parts of the Asian region.  By bringing in more and more top talents to be showcased in these events, our local fighters will improve & be more motivated to train harder to be the best!!  Also, in doing so, perhaps more people will be inspired to become Mixed Martial Artists.  Awareness & building a strong base from the ground up is key.

With the event hosting in our hands, & the support base in yours, I believe that this goal to grow MMA in Taiwan is entirely achievable.  It's only a matter of time.

In the end, thanks again to everyone for making this all possible.  PRO Fighting is shooting for another event in Fall.  So stayed tuned.

Meanwhile, tell your friends, spread the word, that there's going to be another great event in the coming months, & it's definitely a CAN'T miss show!!!

Please refer others to join our facebook group, PRO Fighting MMA.  Our website is currently under construction, we will notify everyone when it's up and running.

Pictures and videos will be posted very soon!!!

Sincerely,

Royal

Martial Artist or Fighter

Posted in Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Training on June 12, 2009 by bjj4lifeI always appreciated the internal benefits of practicing BJJ as the external benefits of learning self defense and competing.  I recently read an excellent article by Dave Camarillo (if you don’t know who he is you shouldn’t be reading this blog) entitled “Fighters vs Martial Artist”.  The article focused on the difference between “martial artists” and “fighters” in MMA.  A good example of a martial artist in MMA is Renzo Gracie…watch the DVD Legacy and you’ll know what I’m talking about. 

Dave’s article however had a deeper meaning for me.  I realized why during my BJJ journey I have seen things that didn’t sit right with me.  We’ve all seen it at tournaments…teams routinely showing poor sportsmanship or competetors showing a lack of respect for their opponents.   We’ve seen it at school…guys hurting each other in practice or routinely switching schools looking for the next best thing.  I realized that everyone practicing a martial art is not necessarily a martial artist.  Some BJJ practitioners are just fighters.  Not fighters in the sense of MMA… but fighters in the sense of their guiding principles.  Fighters won’t necessarily display the same code of values as a marital artist.     

MARTIAL ARTIST:   A martial artist is guided by honor and respect.  While sparring a martial artist is concerned about mutual progression not just winning.  A marital artist displays LOYALTY to his school and what it represents.  Above all a martial artist will always honor his instructor and the art for making him a better person.  HONOR is his code.   

 

FIGHTERS:  A fighter is driven by victory and achieving the next goal.  While sparring a fighter is mainly concerned about winning the match and personal progression.  A fighter displays LOYALTY to his personal goals. Above all a fighter is mainly concerned about achieving the next goal.  VICTORY is his code. 

Wearing a kimono doesn’t make you a martial artist.  I consider Randy Couture a martial artist while BJ Penn (my favorite fighter) was a fighter who started becoming a marital artist after he received his black belt.  I don’t think there is anything wrong with being a fighter.  There are martial artist and fighters that train at my school.  It depends on your personal goals.  I just think that a martial artist can achieve the same goals as a fighter… while achieving so much more.  As the saying goes “I don’t do Jiu Jitsu…I live Jiu Jitsu” which means I consider myself a martial artist…what say you?  Bjj4life!
