If you watch most MMA or boxing fights you will notice that the majority of punches are aimed towards the head area. Obviously this is because a good shot to the head will knock your opponent out and end the fight. But a good shot to the body could be just as effective if not more.
Bas Rutten is a firm believer in the liver punch. He has used it many times to gain victories in his fights. The

This post is written by Vincent Van Hak. He asked me to share his investigation about development of young talents and wonderkids with all of you, my dear readers.Next up: StrikersAnother important position in the field, a scorer also known as striker. Without any you will probably not get much goals and with you should be guaranteed with goals, or not, if he misses form! I Found about 10 strikers ranging from 16 in the first season to 20 in the first season, starting with the two best know ones and then randomly giving the rest. James VaughanEverton Striker and already very good at the age of 19, if you can get him off Everton in the first season that would rock!

A number of Arsenal players have been talking about a variety of topics as they prepare for international fixtures set to take place this week and next.
Captain William Gallas kicked things off by speaking about the groin injury he has sustained and how frustrated he has been with not playing. Gallas mentioned how much the injury was affecting his mood and actually issued an apology to the rest of his teammates at Arsenal for his inability to always put on a positive face.
“Trust me it’s hard to keep smiling. So I want to say sorry to all of the players, and also the staff at the training ground, because they could see I wasn’t always happy. It’s just that I really want to play.”
Most people who play football will understand how annoying it is to be out for a long period of time with injury and I’m sure it’s only worse when it comes to professional footballers. If you live and breathe football the way that guys like Gallas do it would be very h
Maaaan, what is it with series geared at guys? Almost all of them start out fairly weak and then suddenly get better in, like, episode 5. Such is the case with Nanoha StrikerS: nearly everything gets just plain better in this set of episodes. The only thing that seems to get worse is the animation [...]
Ah, yet another magical girl anime. Most would be quick to dismiss this as a quick cash-in on the magical girl cliche, but don’t do that just yet. While it’s fairly stiff at first, it hints at possible depth and drama later on; and since I’ve already seen episode 5, I’d say that depth may [...]
This game is also entitled Mario Strikers Charged Football in Europe and Australia. It is a sports video game developed by Next Level Games and published by Nintendo for the Wii. Football is the sport played in this game. But its not like any ordinary football game, its filled with awesome techniques and amazing power moves rumbling around the court. This game was announced at the 2006 Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany as the sequel to Super Mario Strikers for the GameCube. This game was released on May 2007 in Europe, June 2007 in Australia, and July 2007 in North America. This is the second game that supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, through which players can participate in tournaments and online matches. This feature sets Wii apart to many gaming consoles available.GameplayThere are two teams battle for possessing the metallic ball. Players that possess the ball can pass using A button and shoot using B button. By holding down B will allow the player to charge its shot. Th
When sparring its not always going be a case of exchanging strikes. Sometimes an opponent may try to take you down to the floor, especially if he feels dominated.
A few suggestions to stop this from happening are,
UNDERHOOKS - If you and your opponent are holding on to each other, always make sure that your arms are under his/her armpits. These should give you best control over the situation.
HIPS LOW - By keeping your hips lower than your opponents it will be impossible to get thrown and by dropping your hips and pulling him/her down hard you will disrupt there balance and could pull off a throw of your own.
SPRAWL - When your opponent dives in for your legs in a rugby tackle type attack, kick your legs back, and drop your chest onto his upperback area. You will both end up on the floor but lying on his back, it should be YOU in the dominating position.
STOP HITTING - As soon as you see your opponent getting close to you, fire out a technique which tells him BACK OFF. Jabs are go
Since I'm familiar with striking and grappling its interesting to see strikers when they hit the floor, struggle. A lot of them don't know what there doing as they haven't practiced groundwork and do whatever they can just to stand up and start striking again wasting valuable energy in the process. Ive come up with a few suggestions below. let me know what you think.
Don't panic - yes you're on the floor but so is you're opponent.Be relaxed but ready to reactIts not just grappling - don't automatically think that because there's a lot of grabbing and pushing that you cant strike. Bear it in mind to strike but start off with control, especially if your partner is new to ground fighting.Keep your hand up and elbows close to your rib cage - this will protect your face and torso, and make it harder for your opponent to try and arm lock.As soon as you see a chance to stand up, DO IT - if you feel that you can fight well on the ground, don't think that it is the best place to be
Eu joguei pela primeira vez esse jogo no famoso Encontrão do pessoal do fórum do Outerspace. Eu gostei tanto que resolvi dar uma chance para Mario e sua turma e resolvi comprar esse jogo. Confira na matéria se o jogo é um clássico ou se é apenas uma pelada:

O game parece futebol, mas quando é o personagem Mario que está envolvido sempre há algo a mais do que um jogo de futebol comum. Há obstáculos no jogo como choques elétricos, tremores de terra e outros, sendo que a parte mais interessante do jogo é a sua possibilidade de jogar online com outros jogadores, um atrativo a mais para mais um super game do Nintendo Wii.
Ninendo Mario Strikes (http://wii.nintendo.com/software_mariostrikers.jsp)
As a screenshot just a smidgen down the page will show, I have gotten a hell of a lot better on Mario Strikers Charged Football, on the Wii recently (279275 449152 to add me to the game), so much so that I consider myself pretty nifty now that I’ve got the hang of it.
Which has made me subject to The Richard Wynne Tactic of Video Gaming™.
Basically, when we were little, and playing Street Fighter on the SNES. I used to kick his arse so badly you’d almost think that Ryu (his favourite) had some form of handicap. However, after the 13th double perfect or so he used to switch off the console and exclaim “Who won?”. It was quite frankly the most annoying thing in the history of the world.
It seems that the internet is full of Richard Wynne’s.
For example. Myself and Sammy Small Balls are drawing a series 1-1. I score a goal, or land a megastrike (not actually score, just announce intention to score), probably about 30% of the time a “Connection Lost&rd
This weekend, I have been mostly been playing on the Wii.
First up was on Friday, when Nintendo announced that this week’s release on the Virtual Console included one of my favourite games ever, F Zero X.
Released in 1998 for the N64, F Zero X is a futuristic racing game. Your mission is to try and win the 5 cups that are on offer. Of course, there are 29 other drivers who will try and stop you.
It’s a clusterfuck of futuristic racing, with no weapons, only speed, and boy - is there speed. The tracks are not very technical, but the fact there are 29 other cars going at a blistering pace around the track at the same time means you have to keep your wits about you. It is far too easy to take a nudge and be knocked into a wall or even off the track. 30 cars, with 24 tracks (plus a X Cup full of randomly designed tracks), death race mode and oodles of replayability make this game essential.
If you’re a Wii owner, and want to play an amazing racing game, you can’t do

It seems Emmanuel Adebayor is having a very good time. He signed a new contract with Arsenal recently and now the latest news is that the Togo football Association has decided to lift the ban on him.They say its due to demand from the population, the sporting public and the senior sporting authorities of the country.Its good news for Ade and lets hope that all the row over the bonus gets over and everything falls back to normal for him and his national team.Nicklas Bendtner has also signed a new contract and he cant wait to break into the first team. He says,I truly believe that I can break through on that level, and I have had meetings with them where they have told me that I figure in their plans for the future.He surely has high ambitions and it will be interesting to see how he will fit into the team next season along with the other three strikers.Julio Baptista has atlast been told that he will have to leave Arsenal. He says Arsenal cant afford to sign him. Apparently yes, we cant

flangracneig pgoramian Long time readers of my blog know that during my singledom days at Liverpool University I had a thing for Lucy Pinder - a UK glamour model that rather famously never showed herself fully in the buff. She was quite popular with my good self, as she appeared to be both stunningly beautiful (What? I do have a thing for brunettes with big boobs, mentioning no names), so - when I found a link to a gallery of her topless on Gorillamask.net, I thought - out of curiosity - I’d check it out.
Should Lucy be reading this, don’t take this the wrong way, but I was disappointed. I dunno why it was but they were just…..boobs. Nice boobs, but I kinda felt that I’ve seen them all before. At first I was worried that I was actually turning gay, but then I thought “No! Lots of men don’t ‘read’ these magazines, and they turned out okay.”, Guy for example used to send me texts saying “have you bought this week’s Zoo? I
Sir Alex Ferguson says that even selecting United's substitutes bench has become a dilemma - but one of his greatest challenges is choosing the team's strike-pairing.Louis Saha (12 goals) and Wayne Rooney (eight) have been his preferred choice for much of the campaign. But with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer possessing the most clinical record (nine goals in 17 games) and Henrik Larsson already making his mark, the United boss has a tough decision on his hands every week.Not that they are sole contributors to the scoreline; 13 others have chipped in this season, while winger Cristiano Ronaldo is top scorer on 13. For Sir Alex, the potential for goals in attacking positions has summoned memories of United's Treble season, and the quartet of Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Solskjaer."My thoughts go back to our Treble year with no doubt in my mind that the key to our success in 1999 on three fronts was the fact that we also had four top-class strikers," the Reds boss wrote
