Another good example of patience in a match. Being taller is not always a good thing, nice work of using the duck under work from clinch.

Had some fun with the music for this video, BJJ really does the trick against larger opponents, patience really is key.

The girl is really good. She has been raining terror against male wrestlers last season. Lucky Gunnar is only 1/2 wrestler!

Even after a long break in training Gunnar was able to outscore the older blue belt division.

In his debut Team Fyrd tournament performance, Magnus disassembled his opponents like a mechanic. Magnus is among the youngest on our team and the most technical. His reign over the kids divisions will be long lasting.

Erika was really in the zone this tournament. Mental focus is every bit as important as physical preparation. What is a weapon without the will to use it? Same principle applies to combat sports.

Here are some protocols that would help in your training…..

Your body is all about balance, your abdominals balance your back, your triceps balance your biceps muscles, you get the idea, but if you throw these systems off balance off you will find the magical land of INJURY!

ORV Team Fyrd is more than just a fight team to me. It is my way of life. Even though Fyrd training has only just become known. To me, I’ve done it my whole life unconsciously. My father, my coach, unconsciously teaching me and my siblings how to be fighters for our folk even if it’s not on a mat or in the ring. It wasn’t until a short 2 years ago Fyrd started with MMA. I am proud to say that I am, and will always be Fyrd. This is my life, this is who I am.

Here is ORV Team Fyrd team captain Gunnar Metzger with his 1st place medal and trophy from the Grapplers Quest tournament at the UFC Fan Expo in Mandalay Bay, LasVegas.
