MMA for Knights?
« on: 2015-04-23, 14:26:46 »
Part of the M1 promotion in Russia- originally used as 'filler' material for in between MMA matches.

Totally crazy or totally awesome?  I'm thinking, a bit of both- but that's what we're into, right boys?

Been toying with the idea.  Wife's less than enthused, though.

Whomever wants info on ACL I can put them in touch with the right people. I am a referee for them and I have a bunch of friends that fought in the IMCF and now going to fight in the BoTN.

I am wondering if there's not a group in the DC metro area - I've also toyed with the idea, Sir William.

I believe IceFalcon (Andre Sinou) is from southern New Jersey, Bridgeton.  Am I correct that he’s still the captain for the U.S.A. Knights?

Rodney, I believe you'd be right, Andre is still the captain for the U.S.A. team.  Good guy, Andre is.  Stellar customer service (Ice Falcon Armory) and decent, albeit off-the-rack wares.

Martyn, toying is about all I've done with it.  I'm not in shape currently and it really shows- wearing just 30lbs of gear wore me out a couple of Saturdays ago.  I'm just now back!  ;)

Well let me know if you want to check this out, Sir William - could be good motivation/goal for both of us :)

It requires a different sort of kit altogether - which means a rather large cash outlay.  It isn't something I've got on my books to handle at this time.  I've been following the pertinent threads on AA- by necessity the armor has to be overbuilt and its pretty expensive (to me).

They definitely overbuild a lot of their kits. They use spring steel and titanium a lot. I was talking to a new friend of mine on facebook who's in the ACL, Brandon Alan Ross. I definitely recommend hitting him up if you need an in. Of course knowing a referee in the ACL is a big in as well (=

I myself am planning on graduating to the ACL once I have all the sufficient kit and am better trained. Right now the SCA is my go-to for my blood fix...but with throes, punches, kicks, and steel weapons going all out I certainly think the ACL is more in line with those who have a thirst for truly bloody conflict. The ex military jock in me wants to join partly for the camaraderie, but also to go to other countries and show 'em who's boss!
