"SINS OF THE DRAGON" - A MOVIE MADE IN 2012 THAT SOMEHOW DIDN'T STEAL THAT TITLE

Sins of the Dragon (yes, that's a link to its imdb page) has a listed runtime of 60 minutes- it's only actually 28- and an estimated budget of $2,000.

Help Team American Sambo head to England in June!

Shotgun Robber Disarmed Then Comes Back Asking for Weapon
Video: Intended victim takes shotgun from armed robber in New Orleans

The NOPD is asking for the public's help in finding an armed robber who found himself on the run after the victim turned the tables.
Investigators say the whole thing was captured on surveillance video. (Scroll down to view the video.)
Police say the would-be robber walked up to the wold-be victim Saturday morning just after 5:00 a.m. in the 1900 block of Burgundy Street and demanded money. The video shows the robber pointing a shotgun at the victim's face atContinue Reading
Slideyfoot's 24 hr. GrappleThon for Rape Crisis - May 2013
In an extremely positive reaction to the recent shameful events in the BJJ community, Slideyfoot, our resident jiu-jitsu ambassador in England, is hosting a 24 hour charity event called GrappleThon to raise money for the charity organization Rape Crisis.
He and others will grapple for a full day to help raise donations for this worthy cause. The event will be streamed live on the internet while it happens.
I believe that it is vitally important to support events like thisContinue Reading
