How Many times can you say that you learned a killer fighting technique but you were able to help relieve human suffering at the same time?
Once? Twice? Perhaps Never. Because usually when you practice your martial arts you make yourself better at fighting and inflicting more pain to your next opponent. About a month ago a powerful force much more fiendish than Fedor’s punching power struck the Philippines leaving thousands upon thousands of people homeless, hungry, and without shelter.The two typhoons (Ketsana and Parma) seemingly on roids tag teamed the country with no regard to rules. As a result people suffered from the worst beating ever and there was no after party to help relieve the pain.
In the spirit of bayanihan - a spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective – the Filipino-American Mixed Martial Arts Community organized a series of Martial Arts seminars featuring prominent Fighters and Instructors of Philippine descent, from various martial arts disciplines in an effort to raise relief funds for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy and Typhoon Parma in the Philippines.
On October 25th Their Fight is Our Fight will feature UFC fighters such as Brandon Vera and Mark Munoz, Undefeated Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Shane Del Rosario and Muay Thai Trainer Romy Adanza in an all day Martial Arts Seminar at the Legends MMA Training Center in Hollywood, California.
Topics Will Include:
- Jiu Jitsu for MMA
- Muay Thai Clinch Game
- MMA Takedowns and Wrestling
If that wasn’t enough, you also get to meet the sexy UFC Ring Girl Arianny Celeste and other special guests that are yet to be named. There is a rumor going around that Manny Pacquiao will also chime in on the event. Manny is set to leave the Philippines tomorrow to continue his training against Miguel Cotto. Manny is very passionate about helping out the typhoon victims and made time for relief efforts despite his hectic training schedule. The Wild Card Gym is only a couple of blocks away from Legends so his attendance may come to fruition. The organizers also alluded to the attendance of some of the fighters that will fight at UFC 104. A lot of prizes from their sponsors will also be given through a raffle draw during the event. Miss Rara a true fight chick – one of the founders of NAMMAE (North American Mixed Martial Arts Expo) – is the woman behind this event, that said expect a lot of other famous fighters to come to the event.
