I will be honest here.  I am a guy.  As such, when I started up the FIYF store and started getting shirts made, I was thinking about shirts for me.  Quickly, however, it became apparent that I needed to get some shirts just for the girls (mostly when I was asked, repeatedly, to carry a shirt for girls).  So I have been working hard to rectify the situation.  With that in mind, I am pleased to announce that the FIYF store is now carrying a new shirt: The Lotus Warrior Babydoll T-shirt.  Keep in mind that this is a very small run, so only a limited number are available.  If the demand is high, I will get more made in the future.

I know that December was a pretty slow month for the site.  I spent a lot of time trying to get new shirts made (and this has been a success!).  That said, I plan on making it up to you all this month – starting today.  Not only do I have the results from UFC 108 for you here now, but later on today I will also get the first product review of the new year online.  Enjoy!

Hey guys, I know I’ve been pretty bad lately with posting stuff up.  I even missed the last UFC.  I got a new job, which has me on the opposite side of the country from home for a while… and while I’m here, my ability to get stuff done is limited.  That said, I still have some exciting news.

1. Advertising is going away.  You probably noticed that the big ad on the left of the main page is gone.  I know the site looks a little ugly right now with nothing really over there, but dont worry I’ll get it fixed.  There are still ads in the forums for now.  I will work to get rid of those soon.    The amazon affiliate ads/links might stay.  I havent decided yet.

2. There is a new t-shirt.  No, I havent updated the store yet to offer it, but the Alley Ninja Shirt is at my house.  It is no longer a black shirt – it is now grey.  I will get the store updated, and the shirt available for purchase when I get home in ~2 weeks.

I didnt manage to catch this UFC live, as I would have preferred, but that doesnt mean I’m going to miss updating all of you other folks who missed it as well.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to get together with Walt Manning, a Tai Chi Instructor in Florida, who specializes in the martial applications of Tai Chi.  He was kind enough to do some filming with me, and I’ve got them posted online for you.  You can see them on the Fighting Is Your Friend YouTube Channel or here in our Tai Chi Tutorials section.  I am continuing to work to bring you newer and better videos all the time, so stay tuned!

Once again I was out of town for this UFC, so I apologize for being so slow in getting the results posted.  To be honest, I didnt even realize that there was a fight this past weekend until after it was already over.  My bad.  In any event, here are your results:

Well, you are all probably saying to yourselves “Hey Damen, I thought you were supposed to be AT UFC 101.  Why havent you posted up the results yet?”  The answer is… I was lazy.  I was trying to post results live via twitter from my phone (you ARE following me on twitter, right?), but unfortunately it stopped working pretty early on.  Then with the driving home from Philly and whatnot, well, I wound up a little late as you can all see.  Sorry about that!  Anyhow, here are the results:
