Slinging is the signature weapon of the ancient Chamorro people.
We want to launch this sport to

1: Celebrate, Motivate, and Populate the cultural pursuit and practice of slinging stones and hopefully provide a powerful gateway experience towards the positives of ancestral rediscoveries.

2. Provide a gateway experience into the world-respected sport of Golf to help build better citizens.. Golf courses seem to do the best job at preserving natural landscapes–this experience roots slinging well to its connections with the Biblical David vs. Goliath

3.To create a sense of pride and achievement for the Chamorro people and to provide local and non-local slinging practitioners and

We have been preparing to one day Play 18 Full holes in world-renowned golf courses playing by golf rules with the only difference being using Slings instead of a golf clubs.

Walk & Roll w/ Enson Inoue Across Japan

Walk & Roll w/ Enson Inoue Across Japan

When word had hit the Japan MMA community that Enson Inoue was walking across Japan to help raise awareness in support of the recovery of Northern Japan from the tsunami–martial artists began contacting Enson to try and interact with him along the way–in this case Enson offered a free seminar for Jin Hirano’s gym in Tohoku.

Many of the students here are direct victims of the tsunami and have most more than anyone should bear.
Im gratitude or the seminar and i support of the walk, everyone still donated something to help us along the way. It was incredibly humbling experience.

There would be serveral more of these along the way.

Enson Inoue // YAMATO DAMASHII and Mission44

Several times throughout the year, Enson takes a 3hour drive to this orphanage in Fukushima to provide birthday gifts for children that have been left in the cold by the tsunami and/or irresponsible parenting.

At times collaborating with concerned citizens around the world–in this case the Shooto Kings in Germany, his giving missions have earned him the respect of many citizens in Tohoku

Very cool to have joined in and see how he’s become a very familiar face here. Its easy to see that the children and staff recognize the gifts as genuine and to see them looking forward to his next visit.

Share JiuJitsu w/ Sara & Enson Inoue

From a perspective of a jiujitsu follower and fan for many years–This photo can speak volumes.
The jiujitsu Enson Inoue was cultivated in a time when Jiujitsu was catered for full contact fighting and self defense. Sarah McCan came into jiujitsu where competitive BJJ as sport has stormed a receiving world with rules and guidelines that have given more breathing room to develop the incredible physics in the ridiculously abundant and growing variations and techniques that we see in Jiujitsu today.
His kimono was used in Pride FC and baptized in legendary battles her kimono was created in an atmosphere of die-hard kimono collectors and a thriving jiujitsu kimono industry.

BJJ sure has changed and though People might have their questions for jiujitsu today vs. Jiujitsu yesterday but throughout–its all jiujitsu.

Were honored to be apart of this past,present, and future of jiujitsu

Thanks Tatami Fightwear for this fine item.
