I did not mean to take anything away from the MMA fighters, I know quite a few of them and was one myself back in the 80's. I have nothing but respect for all of them. However, my point was they all fight with rules and with only one attacker, as well as a "clean" enviroment. Meaning no weapons or objects that could be used as weapons. Training for MMA is great, but you need to be ready for anything and by training in that manner you will have a much better chance on the street.

Ken was my old Instructor from 1991-1994 and was the Best Instructor I had ever met. My heart goes out to his wife Kim as well as his son and an old friend of mine Marty Eubanks. Ken will be deeply missed by the Martial Arts community. Bernie S. Indianapolis IN

Learning stand up as well as ground skills are needed in real life situations, remember that UFC,Pride and all other MMA events are just that "events" In real life you do whatever it takes to survive and may well be taking on more than one attacker. So study hard and sharpen your skills! A Great teacher in Indiana is Bernie Schrembs with Dragon Martial Arts.

Does anyone know where heavyweight fighter Bernie Schrembs has gone?

Yes, he is Great! They call him the Axe man due to his Axe kick!

I have seen him fight on several occasions, but not during the past few years. I travel all over the country on the NASKA circut and witnessed Bernie " The Axe Man " Schrembs dominate the Black Belt Heavyweight division. He was a National Champion several times.
