    5 best self-defense tips for Triad area college students

    College is starting back soon, and for many of you this is the first time that your kids will be living virtually on their own. It’s an exciting time, but also a dangerous one. According to statistics from RAINN, undergraduate students (26.4% of females and 6.8% of males) experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation. While there is no magic formula for avoiding and surviving sexual assaults, there are some things you can do to increase your capacity for safety. Below are 5 self-defense hacks that I have shared with college students in seminars over the past dozen years. Please share them with your kids or any young people you know. ....

  • T.J. Dillashaw returns with split decision over Cory Sandhagen

    T.J. Dillashaw returns with split decision over Cory Sandhagen

    T.J. Dillashaw made a triumphant return in his bout with Cory Sandhagen Saturday night, notching a split decision victory against the former #2 bantamweight contender. Once again, the fight took place at the UFC Apex in front of a raucous crowd of 36 people. These small venue fights feel like a weird hybrid of MTV Unplugged and the “elite only” attendance mansion fight scene from D’Jango Unchained. You either like this format or you don’t, and you can include me in the strongly disapprove category. There had been a lot of buildup to this fight as Dillashaw was coming off a 3 year hiatus. You would think that a former champion returning would be met ....

  • What's Next for Meisha Tate

    What's Next for Meisha Tate

    Meisha Tate made her return to the cage this past weekend and scored a dominant ground and pound TKO victory over a very pedestrian Marion Reneau. It was Tate’s first fight in 5 years, which coming back from that big of a layoff is amazing enough, but compound that with the fact she had 2 children since her last fight and her triumphant return is even more impressive. I’ve been a huge MeishaTate fan since the beginning, and I think that her rivalry with former champion Ronda Rousey is responsible for bringing women’s MM A to the masses. It could be argued that without their rivalry the popularity of women’s MMA would have fizzled when Rousey’s ....

  • Ultimate BJJ rolling playlist

    Ultimate BJJ rolling playlist

    When training jiu-jitsu there are a lot of factors that can make a training session bad or good. For me, aside from having a good training partner who has their hygiene game on point, the choice of music is one of the most important choices to make. In general I like to avoid aggressive music that will get you too amped up. After all, engaging in an activity where strangulation and joint locks are standard, additional aggression is not necessary. So save those Pantera and Jackyl tracks for when you're trying to hit a PR on your deadlift or bench. Personally I like instrumentals, or at least music that is heavy on words. For me lyrics can be distracting. When fighting for my life I like to ....

Great gym, I love the workout schedule and Kim is very motivating. It feels good to smack that bag around for a few hours a week :) Totally supportive environment, and everyone is welcoming and helpful - it isn't intimidating at all even for a noobie like me. Highly recommend!

I have had memberships to 7 other gyms in the area over the last 20 years, Octagon is hands down the BEST. My teen is taking krav maga and jujitsu and to quote her, "I love it because I am always learning something new." David takes pride in his work and it shows. I do personal training with Kim--she does a good job of rotating the workout and providing a variety. It's an encouraging, professional environment where you are pushed to be your best and reach your goals.

Omg ! It's only my 2nd night and I'm having the time of my life!!! The Women's kickboxing class is so much fun! I called last week and David was such a great help and offered me to come check the class out before I signed up. But he was so professional and great to talk to and answered my questions without rushing me that I just signed up without trying . Best decision I've made in a long time ! Kim is so wonderful during the class and constantly checks on you to make sure you're ok and that's a blessing because I came to class after being sick for 2 weeks and just getting back to my old self . This is the best workout and stress reliever ever! I thought Zumba was fun....boxing got it beat! The hour goes by way too fast!!!
