Congratulations Kengo Ura! - you are now the Pancrase Welterweight Champ! - Here is Kengo after the win with friend and BJJ Black Belt, Yoshi Hasegawa…see you soon!
Inside the latest issue of GONG (Kakutougi) at the end of the magazine there is a page called “The Moment”. It usually features someone of ‘up-and-coming’ status, or an important event, fight/fighter or place in MMA history, and you usually get the feeling that it’s of some significance. This month features our friend and LUDWIG ambassador Kengo Ura. It goes on to describe him as a the “courtious outsider” and a “quite person” with a “strong spirit”. This is all very true and Kengo has an upcoming title match in Pancrase. I’ll be there to support his efforts, here’s to you Kengo! Osu~! Next time you will not have to walk so far to the airport.
Friend of LUDWIG Fatlip (Pharcyde Crew) stopped by to have some MMA training at SSMMA, and Enjoy a Choke or two last weekend, check him and Sean McDonald warming up with some jump rope drills decked out in their new Inspirit gear…looking pretty sharp! Watch out for some new news dropping soon…you heard it here first!
Jose along with some of the Cesar Gracie crew stopped in to do some training here at Strong Sports MMA the other day to work on some of Jose’s technique. Shu Nishide (Inspirit) was there to facilitate things and all went well. As you can see here, Jose “Enjoy’s Choke”! Big ups to Cesar Gracie crew and Jose for coming out, and good luck with the upcoming fight with Herschel Walker…wait a minute are we talking about the NFL or Pro Baseball?…no, it’s Strikeforce.
Last weekend good friend Vladimir Matyushenko was victorious in his latest UFC fight…congratulations Vladdy! Check out this photo of ‘The Janitor’ sporting the LUDWIG “paper-boy” cap while hanging out with the likes of Couture and lady friend…Looking stylish!
Here’s little fun sparring one night a while back with Vladdy…this is hilarious! He literally looks gigantic next to me…
Shinji Sasaki is a good fighter. You can see him fight in Shooto. He is also sponsored by friends of LUDWIG Inspirit. Go ‘Torao Supernova!” Go get your Enjoy Choke t-shirt!
