    No age limits.. just a passion for the sport wanting to help promote it..

    As for things I am really looking for..

    Lists of fighters and records
    Different Orgs and such
    Stories can be what you want related to MMA. You can write about what interests you take an angle that you want. If you see an org that is doing good things lets promote them.. You see an org that is giving the sport a bad rap lets expose them. if you can get interviews with fighters always be respectful but get good info.. interview them of course.. but their coaches and training partners.. maybe even opponents. besides fighting and training see what else they do for a living.. I want to expose that MMA fighters come from all backgrounds and walks of life.. Get the older fighters just getting by.. why are they still doing it.. get their motivations.. Why is the young guy starting out.. make it personal two Remember the key to a good interview is to remember you have 2 ears and 1 mouth.. use them in proportion.. get them to do most of the talking.. If we do this right.. who knows we may be giving a lot of these guys the first interview before they blow up and hit the big time.
    If you want to include pictures and you are doing a face to face.. take your own pics as we'll have free use of them.. if it is an online interview ask them to send a pic we can use of them.. Remember not all internet content is public domain.. if the picture a signature on it see if you can get the source.
    Also interview schools and such.. I would like to do OBJECTIVE write ups on schools in different areas..

    if we can get this big enough eventually I will choose staff writers who I will look into getting press passes for you in your areas so it will make it easier to cover events and get back to interview fighters and cover events. ( THIS IS A LONG TERM GOAL) your actions now as we start will make this easier for me to do down the road..

    For those that are interested I can be contacted on facebook fairly easily (Don Wiggins ) send me a message include who you are on here so I know who you are
    If you are in the Scranton Area of PA and are having trouble finding instruction or training partners or simply can not afford the training that is provided in Scranton.. Contact me. I am starting a BJJ club under the direction of a Jorge Gurgel Black Belt.

    Sorry man I thoguht I did.. apperently it timed out the first time I did..
    my reply is sent


    Also for those who are interested please go ahead and write up some stories and articles and interviews.. Please nothing that would be time sensitive as well it is still a work in progress.. and it would be awesome to have some stories ready to go once it is..

    Also if you are going to be submitting stuff a short Bio about your training experience would be awesome as well.

    Hey all I need some assistance.. I Kay was supposed to help me get this site up.. but as we all know he is once again MIA.. If anyone knows a decent free program so I could design a site I would be grateful.
    Or if someone would be willing to help me design the site Pro-bono (for now) I would be grateful as well.. PM me

    AWESOME.. Yea this idea is not dead.. the last several months of my life have been crazy hectic in pretty bad ways.. I plan on getting this up and running soon.. I have one big project to go first and if succeeds this will be right on its tail..
