Watson Mixed Martial Arts.....
I have known Kyle Watson since 2009. We met at what is now Finnys Hit Squad. At the time it was Hughs Hit Squad and the writing on the matted wall still reads "Hughs Hit Squad." Mark Furry, a was productive part of the coaching staff at the time. This was prior Mr. Kyle Watson, being on the 11th season in 2010 of The Ultimate Flighter, realty TV show, team GSP vs. team Koscheck on Spike. Matt Hughs is two time U.F.C. welterweight champion, and had seven successful title defenses. To this date, he is the strongest man I have ever grappled with in my life. He is the kind of man that people write comic books about, he literally has "super," human strength. Robby Lawer was also at the camp when I was, he is U.F.C. 181 champion and retained his title in U.F.C. 189. Mr. Kyle Watson has also trained with George St. Peir. and Josh Koscheck to name a few. I can honestly write, Mr. Watson has trained with the best in the United States and the world. His school is state of the art, and Mr. Watson takes a mathematical approach and comprehensive teaching style in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. He is under Wellington "Megaton," Gracie who is Mackenzie Derns, the female Brazilian Jiu-jitsu champion, father. They are all Roller Gracie affiliates.
I was able to train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with Mr. Watsons top student who is a accomplished Brown Belt, Josh MC. I rolled with many of his students. Along with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, the Muay Thai program at his school is flourishing. Among all the Martial Arts Academys I have visited the Muay Thai program was the biggest I observed and participated in. Micha, is one of the teachers he has a voceturous, effective, teaching style. His students respect him......and follow his lead. There is a few days with thai sparring which I partook in the "festivities." I was also able to roll on many days. Since, I have a back ground in Mixed Martial Arts I enjoyed his school. A select few of his students do Mixed Martial Arts and have private training sessions. Mixed Martial Arts requires a different mentality. It's difficult and our civilized society has built years of intangible obstacls that don't require people to engage in unarmed combat. Some times when ultrications out side of controled settings happened people are shocked. Their environment sometimes sets them up for failure. Still in the real world it's a necessity to understand and study unarmed combat for self defense Ect....I was able to get alot of rolling in and most of the time his students were willing to roll with me. While I was visiting on a minimum I was able to get four hours of live rolling a week not including the instruction. If your in the St Louis, MO area I advise you to "check out," Watson Mixed Martial Arts from the beginner to the professional athletes...
Although the Professional should have multiple training schools to take in "absorb," information on multiple fronts to prepare for the uncontrolled Variables of Combat Sports. Watson M.M.A. is a great school to be affiliated with and Mr. Kyle Watson and his instructors have had proper instruction from accredited individuals. The school is located in a comfortable location and easily accessible if you are in southern Illinois or Missouri. It is about ten minutes from the Arch. Still it makes me wonder why they spent millions of United States dollars on the Arch if there was not tactical advantages to "it." I start thinking about Stargate, Noah and the Ark.....or President Ronald Reagans "Star Wars," program.......hmmmm go Try Watson Martial Arts.....
