Marcos Olivera of Guahan Top Team qualifies to carry the pride of our island to Dubai later this year in one of the worlds most prestigious international grappling tournaments—hopefully echoing the GTTs impressive performance in the NoGi Division in last months Marianas Open. This past SaturdayPXC unfolds turns another page in  local Grappling and  MMA with a successful turnout for their “ForTheTroops” event  in support of our armed forces. The University of Guam Fieldhouse will be busy again on March 27^th  for the next PXC, and Guerilla Warfare2 will be keeping Saipan busy at the World Resort on February 28^th. While on the same day, Baby Joe Taimangalo unfolds his exciting fight career with a shot for the 145lb championship title for Fearless FightingChampionships in ThePhilippines.

 

Meanwhile, Guams grapplers are busy again this time going over to Saipan for this weekend’s Saipan All IslandSubmission Grapplling Tournament, TheArtOfWar3. After over a decade after the arrival of Brazilian Jiujitsu and Submission Grappling to Guam –and after lesss than 5years after their arrival to Saipan, Guam submission grappling will be sending their largest host of competitors from Purebred, Spike22, GTT, CarlsonGracie, and  Gracie Barra, and to compete against (and touch base with) a similarly flourishing and parallel industry atmosphere to Saipan and the CNMIs revitalized interests into competitive martial arts.

 It’s a great thing that the grappling arts, jiujitsu, judo, wrestling,  etc… have been able to establish symbiotic connections with the Goliath of Mixed Martial Arts.  A frequency of single discipline events and the drive of its participants continues to push the performance levels of our total fighter athletes. And the success of Mixed Martial Arts has provided its growing fan base with a great stimulus for a first step into martial arts training.

 We are at a new phase in competitive combat sports now where we are better able to piece together separate independent events, both amateur and professional, throughout Guam and Saipan

 As  the industry evolves and our athletes improve, we can better focus our goals on targeting larger purpose throughout and beyond martial arts and athletics.

  We have seen a number of Martial Arts’s ventures into community service and a vast majority of these projects and initiatives have been led by the top performers in the sport.

In an industry that has been developed mostly from within, in and industry lined with victories and paramount performances abroad, this is as much a trophy for our elders as it is building blocks for our children. As our strength acts as our nobility, we can live in the plus that we are not only growing in Guam, but we are continuing this momentum and consciously sharing it with our brothers and sisters in our neighboring islands.

 With strength, intelligence, honor, and the Pride of The Mariana Islands.

 Thanks for dropping by.

Tomorrow’s PXC Live raises money for families of soldiers

PXC Live: For the Troops goes down tomorrow night and it’s not the fights that have the island buzzing, it’s what the fights are for. People at home not only get to watch the fights for free but they can make a difference in our community by picking up the phone and making a contribution for a well worthy cause.

Fight promoter Eli Monge told KUAM Sports, “We’re having a telethon to raise money for our citizen soldiers that never made it back and were trying to put some peace and happiness to some of the families that lost their loved ones and were going to be having a telethon throughout the whole night. Fokai also made a special edition t-shirt that is going to be released tomorrow and you can order that on fokai.tv or at the shop, so will be showing it throughout the night.”

There’s a lot of work that goes behind putting on a great show, same with what goes on in making a happy family. Sometimes parents put themselves in harms way to provide for their children and tomorrow night all their sacrifices will be remembered by a special 

Said Monge, “Tomorrow the fights to me are not the main event, the main event is the stories that we shot and put together, the fights itself and the grappling matches are just a way for MMA and jiu-jitsucommunity to give back to our soldiers that are fighting for our war and peace.”

People of all walks of life can relate to losing a loved one due to warfare. The saying goes, that freedom isn’t free and tomorrow night you’ll have the chance to help all those who lost loved ones fighting for our freedom.  ”It’s something that is close to the heart because I have a lot friends that are in the National Guard and I have lost friends too, and it’s the best way to give back and I’m really happy we can use what were good at, what are fighters are good at, and what I’m good at, like putting an event together and giving back to the soldiers and their families, Monge said.
