The focus of the past three days however, has not been on training but simply getting set up and comfortable so that I can concentrate on training properly. So this blog is not so much about the training but basic necessities one needs if planning on coming here to train (food, lodging, transport, entertainment). The…

Read The Beginning – II, here. I arrived on December 2nd to Pakistan. Coincidentally, that same day a Pakistan Television press conference about a company called “Fite Selektor” was released on Youtube, stating that MMA was coming to Pakistan and this Dubai based Dutch company was going to hold an event to kick it off. “Fite Selektor” is another story in and of itself, but it really made me believe that I was doing the…

Read The Beginning – I, here. In December 2007, I was back in Pakistan for my sister’s wedding. It was during that time you could say PAKMMA was born. A few months prior to leaving I had this desire to get Pakistanis educated about MMA. I just wanted to get the word out and have them share the fun. So I made a myspace page, which I never really kept up. When I arrived in…

So it has been more than three weeks since I have started using Sunwarrior. All I can say is that while everyone has been getting sick around me in this miserable Lahori winter I have managed to stay illness free. Maybe I got lucky or maybe SunWarrior has something to do with it. In fact I am pretty much guaranteed to get sick every year, there is so much smog and dust in the air…

I have been waiting for my package of Sunwarrior products for a few days now and expected it to come some time next week but it came a week earlier than expected and I have to say I am very excited! Having been an athlete for a number of years, I have tried lots of supplements. I stick to a few basic ones year round, mostly natural stuff, spirulina, bee pollen and fish oil are…

Machines.machines, machines…Everyone wants machines. For the past couple of weeks, I am paying for the mistake of placing “body building” as one of things we are offering at our new gym Synergy Fitness Club, which absorbed my previous MMA gym Shaheen MMA. Because we are offering Cross Fit and have a decent number of free weights at the gym I figured I may as well put “Body Building” as one of the things you can…

The South Let’s start with a definition of what I mean by the South – pretty much anything that is located on that small strip of…
