Jiu Jitsu for the Holidayz!!

MMA is the greatest sport in the world...right? And we at OTM have respect for all fighting styles, basically if you fight we support you. But the genesis of MMA is in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Its a fair argument it's the one prinicpal you have to at the very least know how to defend. If you don't your career is going to be short. The sport is getting very complex and more and more sophisticated, even the fans, for the first time that I can think of at UFC 122 I heard a loud chorus of boos for a stand up. The fans actually did not like the break, they felt that one guy was advancing toward a submission position! 2 or 3 years ago as soon as they went to the ground there was a good chance you hear boos.
We at OTM have seen an explosion of guys coming in to get Gi's and rash guards for Jiu-Jitsu, alot of them ex- wrestlers and boxers. This a great sign for the sport of Jiu-Jitsu. We are gearing up for some exciting things for you Jiu-JItsu freaks (we count are selfs as those freaks) so keep checking in I think you will be as excited as we are.
Hey now do you what it takes to support the sport!!

THANKSGIVING MMA!

It's been a crazy week down on the wharf! We're fighting the good fight and training like dogs. But we are thankful for an awful lot this time of year!
Most of all we are Thankful for you the customers! Yeah its cool to be able to talk MMA gear all day and watch and talk about MMA, get some freebies like tickets to the UFC meet, Anderson Silva..Mike Swick....Jason "Mayem" Miller all who have come in to our shop and countless others. But you guys are the best. We love showing a newbie some cool gear and then find he sticks with it and he is addicted to the sport like we are. Then there is the vet who usually thinks he has seen it all and we show him something that makes his life better or turn his kids onto the sport. Thats what gets us geeked and makes coming in here worth it!! So we are thankful for you!
