Picked up a nice copy of (Ultimate) Grappling magazine this afternoon. I'm trying to get the 7-11 across from the office to pick up the magazine (they had stocked it once before) and I'd subscribe if it weren't for their notoriously sub-par subscription service. But the absence of both makes for a nice excuse to roll down to the Border at SouthCenter on a nice summer day like today ...
A LOT of mixed martial arts coverage, which I suspect pays the bills. Most worthwhile in this issue were the escapes from Marcelo Pereira and the "common mistakes" article by Stephen Kesting and Eric Paulson. Camarillo's piece on osoto gari and his idea of "impact control" probably rounds out the top three. I'd argue that if you get three articles in a magazine that you will read more than a few times, then you've got your hands on a pretty decent edition. Props to (Ultimate) Grappling for producing solid Brazilian jiu jitsu articles even as their mixed martial arts coverage expands.
