		<description><![CDATA[A mediocre karate guy gets choked out by a mediocre jiu-jitsu guy. Okay, fine, whatever. But the karate guy taps, and taps, and taps, and the jiu-jitsu guy still chokes him unconscious. Gives himself, his club and the entire sport a huge black eye. Embarrassing doesn&#8217;t even begin to describe it. It&#8217;s deplorable. This guy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ralek Gracie deserves a lump of coal in his Christmas stocking. He should then be beaten about the head with it. And then choked out with it.
Sure, I know it&#8217;s gotta be tough to be a Gracie, at least if you intend to make your life in martial arts. And maybe that&#8217;s why the son [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve done any jiu-jitsu you&#8217;ve likely been in this situation or one similar, where somebody catches you with a knee or elbow or cranks an armbar a bit too hard or slams his way out of a triangle choke. Frustration can do that too you. Seems to happen mostly with white and blue belts, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not sure which bothers me more: that Ashton Kutcher is training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu or that he&#8217;s wearing a black belt while doing it. Yeah, I know the belt&#8217;s borrowed and that Ricardo De La Riva said it was cool and all, but still, it just doesn&#8217;t seem right.

Diego Sanchez, formerly &#8220;The Nightmare,&#8221; now rebranded &#8220;The Dream,&#8221; put his rep on the line at last weekend&#8217;s Grapplers Quest at the UFC Fan Expo in Toronto. Sanchez competed in the four-man pro tourney, his first grappling tournament in six years. He picked up the opening-round win with a nasty kneebar in the dying seconds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Gracies had their Youtube channel stuffed by UFC boss Dana White for copyright infringement yesterday but their back with a UFC-less version. Hopefully they can work something out with White with regards to using UFC (and now Strikeforce) clips in their jiu-jitsu breakdown videos because they really do add a lot to them.
