This week, Subfighter MMA Head Instructor Tracy Hess demonstrates his Helicopter Arm Bar technique with MMA fighter Max Demian at Affliction headquarters.

Back from another night of CXF fights at the Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City, CA. We had 3 fighters on the card this time &emdash; Selah Williams, Marc Alvidrez making his pro debut and Josh Jones fighting for the 4th time in CXF.

Selah was fight #2 on the card. He took the fight with one week notice as a late replacement. Not much to say about this fight. Selah was caught early and lost by TKO around a minute into the first round.

Back home from Bellator 170. We had Gabriel Green fighting for them again. This time, at The Forum in Inglewood, California. He had one of the best fight camps of his career and felt better than ever going into the fight. His opponent was a super tall, lanky striker. They were the 3rd fight of the night. Unfortunately, things didn’t go our way this time as Gabe took a shot directly to the temple early in the first round. He dropped and that caused the ref to stop the fight. Gabe didn’t even get the chance to get any offense going. But, that happens sometimes.

So I’ve been slacking on updating the blog a bit, but not without reason! Last Sunday (Dec 11, 2016) we had our team competing in the Russ Miura Subfighter (sister-school) Holiday Nogi Challenge. We had ~18 people competing, and with only myself and Tracy coaching, there wasn’t much time for pictures.
