My Hero
"ive never trained with a gi..some Brazilians told me i couldn't be a blackbelt but ill tap most of them out with my non blackbelt" Glorious
Skrap pack + Denny = Conspiracy
Not to mention Nick smokes 10th Planet Kush : )
denny looks to be sparring with him at 4:32
I'm perfectly on-board with calling jiu jitsu for mma "American jiu jitsu". I mean, didn't guys like Eddie and Penn and Matt Hughes invent the go-for-it style in jiu jitsu? Or at least add a bunch of moves to it, like Helio Gracie did with Japanese jiu jitsu?
Or you could just call it "no gi" jiu jitsu like everyone else :)Quote:

Hope Kampman hands it to him in the ufc and fucks him up. Go scandinavia
Great Fighter and Great video one of the reasons im a vegetarian today because i saw that he is a top fighter and doesnt eat meat made me a believer
Im sorry i personally dislike jake shields not taking away from his ability he is an amazing fighter.with that said i hope kampmann destroys him
Weird how he's so good at jiu jitsu, prolly top 5 in MMA, yet he's only trained in the gi less than 8 hours :)
Hmm, there's something to that. Are you telling me that training without a Gi is better than with it for MMA?!?! ;)Quote:

Parts of his philosophy is
1. He is all about training No gi for Jiu Jitsu and MMA.
2. He believes in attacking first because that's what wins.
3. Some of his techniques are wrestling based.
4. He believes in crushing and squeezing.
5. His whole style is based on under hooks, over hooks, and clinching.
6. The focus on technical progression in order to keep evolving to a better you.
7. If need be pull guard in a fight, but always look for the takedown.
The gi community cannot explain the Jake Shields phenomena, it's a mystery to them :)
Looking forward to his fights in the UFC. Anyone know his first opponent?
Zog, he has Kampmann first then supposedly GSP if he wins
I think he'll get through Kampmann relatively easy. Should be a good fight with GSP
Damn thats right I remember hearing that. Should be a decent fight.Quote:

Kampman is no joke, you never know what can happen in fight like this one :)
Yeah, I thought Paulo Thiago would walk right over him in his last fight, and he definately proved me wrong. He's a tough dude, but I'm pulling for Jake. It should be a great fight either way!Quote:
