http://www.yardbarker.com/users/FrankShamrock Recent Yardbarker Articles: FrankShamrock en-us Should be some great fighting this weekend. One of my guys Mike Cook the heavyweight champ from BET's Iron Ring will be fighting. I will probably be fighting the winner of the Smith vs Lawler fight later this year. My hand has been cleared by 3 different doctors and I can now get back to training.

It teaches you about yourself and makes you a stronger person. I do recommend proper headgear and gloves especially for the younguns. Here is the description our Wildcats Kid's MMA program: Wild Cats is a children's mixed martial arts (MMA) program guiding our youth from the ages of 5 to 15 years. Wild Cats MMA is mix of all full contact styles in sports combat. Those styles included Muay Thai/kickboxing, wrestling, boxing, judo/jiu-jitsu, submission grappling and Shamrock Submission Fighting. This complete MMA program designed for children teaches real self defense techniques while instilling traditional values of respect and discipline. September of 1999 marked the beginning of what is one of the most unique martial arts programs available to kids today. Instead of sharing one particular style with students the philosophy was to share a unique and effective system with the same values and principles of traditional martial arts. The curriculum that was developed encompasses the extensive that Mr. Shamrock and the Shamrock Submission Fighting Team use in preparation for MMA bouts of which they continue to engage in today. The curriculum and ranking system combines the discipline and respect we have come to expect from any martial art. The goal of the program is growth, guidance, and proper behavior of our children whether it be in the classroom, with adults and peers, or in a self defense situation. Wild Cats Mixed Martial Arts is committed to family, friends, community, and our children.

He took the fight with only 2 days notice. It was back and forth but out of nowhere came a flying knee getting him his first win.

Watch this video for an update on my broken hand, and also for details on past injuries that I've either suffered or inflicted upon others. See you in the Yard!

Beyond the broken hand.. I had to get 6 stitches on the left side of my head and I think I have toenail cuts on the right side of my neck. That's what caused the scrape on the right side of my face during the fight. All in all it was a good fight.. would have been better to win.

Tonight vs. Cung Le on Showtime or PPV!!! Or see it LIVE at the Shark Tank in San Jose!

With a few months of training, I can probably get Goldberg ready for Kimbo.

Watch this video if you want to learn more about me and my opponent, Cung "Fu" Le. The fight is on Showtime at 9pm ET. Tue, 25 Mar 2008 22:46:14 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/218469 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/218469 Bill Goldberg stopped by the gym last Tuesday to film some of my training. They will be showing these snippets in between shows on Showtime. Check out Goldberg on the stability ball.. he's a beast!

The face mask simulates being up in the mountains. I will be doing this a couple of times a week to see how it works out.

I was in his corner and everything went as planned. Duke is a tough kickboxer, so it was imperative to get him off his feet. Training has been going very well for the Cung fight. Goldberg will be coming out to the gym this week to film some of my training. I might try to get him to show me some prowrestling moves. Haven't had a chance to hop on the Internet as much with all the training. I will try to get some more videos up over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for all the support.
