MMA Tutorials with Frank Shamrock

There are two reasons to watch all 10 of these MMA tutorials.

1 - When it comes to mixed martial arts, Frank Shamrock is the man. He's held WEC, UFC and Strikeforce belts and is the former King of Pancrase. He's also an incredible teacher. In December of 2005, Frank opened the Shamrock Martial Arts Academy in San Jose to train students in kickboxing and submission wrestling.

2 - Unfortunately for Dewey Hammond, Yardbarker's Managing Editor, Frank needed a human rag doll to toss around on the mat while we filmed. If nothing else, it's fun watching Dewey grimace with every leg lock, hip toss and arm bar that comes his way.

- Jeff

PS - For those concerned, Dewey's post-Shamrock headache has finally gone away.
