Kimberly Green has an eye for quality MMA fight gear and MMA apparel, equipment, and accessories…Especially on the ripped bodies of her favorite MMA Fighters!
Along with the rise in fame of fighters like Chuck Leddell, Kimbo Slice, Brock Lesnar and Gina Carano there has been a rise in MMA merchandise and with MMA fight gear. Companies like UFC have adopted the sales philosophy of companies like WWE and TNA by marketing the athletes on posters T-shirts and other MMA inspired apparel which is something that professional boxing has never fallen in line with. The world of MMA is commercial success in part due to smart marketing and flooding the market with modern day worriers to give the fans a face to go with the name brand and a T-Shirt to support their favorite fighters! Where ever you go you’re bound to see someone wearing shirt expressing their admiration for their favorite fighter, team and even league.
During the infancy of MMA there were very few companies willing to put their name alongside a brutal sport but today there are literally dozens of companies out there like American Fighter, Bloody knuckles, Sinister and MMA pro sports gear signing deals with clubs, leagues and fighters in efforts to secure their name in the world of MMA and with the popularity of “walk out shirts” it’s a competitive market to secure a sport to be seen during the main event. MMA apparel has truly become a giant market place. With the meteoric rise of the industry there has been an equal rise in the number of people turning their interests to getting into the ring to see how they measure up against other disciplines of fighting. Mixed martial arts gives an individual fighter the opportunity to shine against any other style and any other fighter. Since there are so many different types of martial arts, each fighter has a different aptitude for each specific art and the various combos of skill make for a very exciting fight.
Another smart move for MMA was to define their own style by developing their own in-ring gear like lighter gloves that differ from boxing, in-ring fighting shorts that also differ from boxing which allows more room for attacking the abdomen. Certain things remain the same though like mouth guards and even those famous sweat suits that you routinely see fighters on the hit series “ultimate fighter” wearing to drop pounds before a weigh in.
If you are a fan or a fighter looking to have fans it’s a new dawn for anyone interested in MMA and there is a world of gear out there for you to support your favorites or to hone your craft.

SELF DEFENSE- Points Of Interest
By: Jester | 06/07/2009Learning impressive techniques is one thing, but actually performing them in the middle of a threatening situation is another. We've all been impressed by movie stars flying through the air or knocking someone unconscious with a mere chop. But the reality is this is seldom if ever the case.
A Career in the Martial Arts: From Student to Instructor
By: John Graden | 06/07/2009If you are a martial arts instructor today, odds are that you began teaching classes for your instructor shortly before or after you earned your black belt. You became a good teacher, but you were still under the control of your instructor, and you loyally taught and followed his syllabus.
The Golden Child of Martial Arts
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009In time, like me, many of you became the “golden child” of your martial arts school. You trained harder than anyone, and you were the best or one of the best students in the school.
The Genesis of the Core Dynamics
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009I was lucky that my instructors never abused my loyalty. Every instructor I worked with – Hank Farrah, Walt Bone, and Joe Lewis – took me under his wing and made me a protégé. But, as the head of the world’s largest martial arts professional association (NAPMA), I’ve heard countless horror stories of master instructors abusing the loyalty of their top students. Guess who tend to be the top students? Guys and girls like you and me.
The Rainbow of Rank
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009As a kid, you can’t choose your school, your parents, your city, your neighborhood, or much of anything else about your environment. You have no control and, when the situation is negative and intimidating, that debilitating feeling can stick with you for life. Martial arts changes all that. The rank system provides a direct path to respect that you control by training hard, following the rules, and enduring.
My Kung Fu is Better Than Yours
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009At some point while you were dutifully teaching classes for your instructor, I bet a few students and/or parents let you know that they preferred your classes to those of your instructor. At first, you thought they were just being polite, but then you began to notice things your instructor did that you would not do ‘if it were your school.’
Black Belt Scandals
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009Here in the Tampa Bay area – the 12th largest TV market in the U.S. – the local CBS TV affiliate did a three-part series called “Black Belt Scandals.” The series exposed a local instructor who had White-Out® on his rank certificate. You could see a 3 was replaced with a 7. He even had a fake chiropractor’s certificate on the wall.
The Core Dynamics of Starting a Martial Arts Business
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009When I created National Associations of Professional Martial Artists (NAPMA) in 1994, there was little useful information available to the industry as a whole. Owners were struggling because they simply didn’t know any way of running a martial arts business other than the system they had inherited from their instructor, which we know is usually a recipe for disaster.
