Athletic Alley Blog Carnival October 15, 2008

Welcome to the October 15, 2008 edition of Athletic Alley Blog Carnival. We have some awesome articles this week. There are a couple of great fitness articles that examine the effectiveness of different exercises for weight loss. There is a humorous assessment of Cincinnati’s biggest supporters. Sam give an informative look at the new MMA Freestyle Fighting. Submissions are due by 8:00 PM (EST) on Mondays. The carnival will be posted at noon the following Wednesday. Your submission can be focused on any sport, at any level. Athletic Alley and the contributors welcome your comments on the featured posts. I hope you enjoy the submissions. We are looking forward to submissions for next week’s carnival. It is my hope that you consider this a fun and easy way to get the word out about the sport (or sports) you love to play and/or watch. If you know someone whose writing would be a good addition to the weekly blog carnival or to Athletic Alley itself, please point them this way.

Sam presents NEW !! MMA Mixed Martial Arts Fighting !! posted at Surfer Sam and Friends, saying, “MMA Mixed Martial Arts Fighting
Freestyle Fighting for Great Athletes

Mixed Martial Arts is a combat sport with full contact and no holds barred. MMA competitions bring together two fighters of different backgrounds for freestyle fighting with few rules. Fighters try to defeat their opponent by submission or by knock out. Fighters can use any of the martial arts and other tactics to defeat an opponent. The rules allow the use of striking and grappling techniques while standing or on the ground. Basic fighting tactics are punching, kicking and grabbing each other in a clinch.

Unlike professional boxing, MMA is authentic fighting, without scripts or acting. The intense level of athletic training, nutrition, conditioning, workouts and practice builds awesome fighters.”
