Question: Who would be the best people to train with in America if you wanted to transition from a strong judo base to MMA? Gokor and his lot?

I think I read she trains at Hayastan, so apparently she thought the same thing.

Be my thought....

Should come train with me but that ain't going to happen. I believe they are on the east coast so her best bet would be to go to Sitakong(sp) and get her striking tuned up.

I loved watching her on the NBC feed during the last summer Olympics.

She's in California. According to her blog she's training at "Hayastan, Main Event Gym for boxing, and The West Coast Training center for judo." For those of you who don't know, her mother is AnnMaria Rousey DeMars (1984 WC).
