Hi Bob,

Thanks for the mail. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’ve learned to respect everyone’s opinion. At the same time, I’ve also learned that there will always be a group of people that fully oppose certain activities- in our case, MMA.

I could easily have a number of teachers and members of our community write up testimonials on how MMA has in fact deterred many from doing what this lady is saying. All it will lead to is a game of tug of war between 2 groups who believe in what they believe.

We’ve been through this many times. I truly feel that they (non supporters) are simply uneducated in the whole MMA scene. They call it barbaric when in fact statistically speaking, it is much safer than many other sports; boxing, and football as far as injuries are concerned.

In the past few years that we have been doing MMA in the CNMI, fighting in schools and in the streets have decreased significantly. Trench Tech has been to many elementary and Jr High schools and conducting anti bullying and educational speeches on this ever growing sport. It all comes down to how it is being conducted and handled and who conducts and handles it.

We (TT) have conducted 11 professional events- Trench Warz. And 12 amateur events- ROP and Art of War. Of these 23 events, how many serious injuries were reported? Absolutely NONE!

I will send you a poem after this for your reference. I had the privilege to reside this poem at KHS for their yearly Poetry Jam last week and received a standing ovation.

I say let the people talk and say all they want. This (MMA) will be scrutinized forever. Let it be known that we are not a bunch of barbaric, uneducated hooligans looking to cause destruction of lives and livelihood. We are a professional business entity that promotes MMA events ina a safe, controlled, and well conducted arena that 99.9% of the island enjoy. We truly create friendship through fighting and absolutely not the opposite.

Thanks Bob and I hope we do not put a stop to Sports Wrappers. EVER!

Did the lady who wrote this letter know that a bobsleder died in the winter Olympics?…

All the BEST! LONG LIVE THE ISLAND WARRIORS! LONG LIVE MMA!!!!!

Cuki

GoverenmentOfGuamsignsMMAIntoLaw

Gov. Felix Camacho sanctioned Mixed Martial Arts by signing the sport’s rules and regulations into law this week.

The signing comes on the heels of the 30th Guam Legislature’s passage of Public Law 30-25 in July 2009, which acknowledged the sport on Guam and set forth the foundation for the rules and regulations.

“We’ve been working on legislation for more than two years now and we’re happy to see it come into fruition,” Guam Unarmed Combat Commission chairman Patrick Lujan said.

“Now the commission will begin the process of licensing the athletes and officials.”

The rules and regulations provide all the safety mechanisms for carrying out unarmed combat sports such as MMA and boxing. These safety measures will assure that the athletes are physically cleared to participate as well as place professional officials such as judges, referees and physicians in critical roles.

Here are some of the highlights of the licensing process:
