What makes me qualified to talk about MMA/BJJ?
While I don't claim to be any great BJJ or MMA prodigy, I am a good fighter that has amassed many victories. I have trained in many places, making many friends and I hope you all continue to follow my blog where I will share: Competition videos, technique videos, fight commentary, fight breakdown, technique opinion, and many other topics of all of the great fighters I have met along my journey.
I currently hold the following belts:
- Taekwondo Second Degree Black Belt kukkiwon certified, look it up here: http://www.kukkiwon.or.kr/english/new_examination/new_english/pop.jsp American, Frank J. Aiello 6/13/83, Dan #09904010.
- Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt IBJJF Certified Certification #62633.
- Purple Belt Vada Kempo, UN-certified.
- I have trained extensively in Muay Thai (3 years) but they do not give belts.
I have spend the majority of my life in Martial Arts and have competed in 3 of its forms including" mma (https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/80344-francis-aiello), BJJ, TKD. I have trained with many of the greats, thanks to the fact I was born and raised in the New York City Area. With all of this being said and done, I have accomplished all of this as a 5'7'' man who did not possess knowledge of how to diet until 2 years ago. While I have met many big names in the sports, I have been most influenced by the following people: - Harry Brofsky
- Ian Brofsky
- Joe Capizzi
- Marcio Bittencourt
- Anthony Buckwitz
- Louis Vignone

Martial Arts have done so much for me, they have given me confidence, strength, grace and a sense of accomplishment that has shoved me forth into conquering other aspects of my life. While involving you kids in sports is great, nothing will help them grow like Martial Arts, but only if it is competitive, not the watered down garbage. When I say Martial Arts I mean to include all combat sports such as Boxing and Wrestling, they are just as much a martial art as Judo and shotokan. One more thing I would like to say that will probably get some controversy, is that training technique without strength is a mistake, its not all about skills, strength and athleticism play a huge part in every martial art and to ignore this is ignorance.

Are you watching the UFC fights tonight?
Combat Sports are the only sports I watch, you should join a gym it is so much fun! I will be watching the fights but not tonight.
Dude flow rolls are important Frank, and we don't them enough. helps with being smooth.
Absolutely my friend, you are miss interpreting what I was saying. I meant that some people believe that you can only train technique and that there is no need for weight training, this is a mistake in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing your story man!
