Randi Miley asked if she could use the wall right before the rules meeting, then used it immediately in an aggressive takedown. Competitor Elise Shaw had no chance against the MMA fighter in her. Randi quickly locked in the armbar submission.

They assumed she wouldn't be interested because she was a woman. Proving them wrong, she found a love for grappling. It requires complete presence and provides physical exertion, akin to meditation. For anyone hesitant, she encourages them to start.

🥊 MMA news & reaction: Ronda Rousey’s latest remarks about Khabib Nurmagomedov’s supporters—framed with a crude jab—have fans split. Some see it as a frustrated veteran going heel; others call it a line-crossing shot that widens the rift between Ronda and the MMA audience. Does this signal a downturn in her public stock, or just a short-lived controversy around a pioneer who’s worn every spotlight—Olympic medalist, UFC champ, WWE star?

Your take:
• Is this a strategic heel turn or a damaging misread of the room?
• Has Ronda’s legacy in the UFC earned her more leeway, or should words carry consequences?
• If there’s a comeback, what does a winning move look like—media reset, charity work, or a targeted superfight?

Keep it respectful and drop your verdict below. 👇

🎃👟 Happy Halloween from JMA! Let’s make tonight fun, safe, and a little fitter.

Quick safety & health tips:
• Be seen: reflective gear, headlamps, and bright costumes.
• Buddy up: stick with friends/family and set a meetup spot.
• Smart route: well-lit streets; watch driveways and crossings.
• Hydrate & fuel: water + a protein snack before candy runs.
• Portion the treats: enjoy a few now, stash the rest for later.
• Keep moving: walk the loop, skip the shortcuts—steps add up!
• Warm layers: costumes are cool; hypothermia isn’t.
• Respect the block: doors, pets, and neighbors’ space.

🎯 Mini-Challenge: Post a pic of your costume or step count and tag us—best entry gets a shoutout in our next weekly update.

Stay spooky, stay safe, and keep those athlete habits rolling. 🧟‍♂️💪

🚨 MMA news drama: Ronda Rousey is taking aim at Joe Rogan’s fight experience, saying his taekwondo competition “doesn’t count as fighting.” UFC fans are split—does striking-only TKD stack up against MMA experience and judo/wrestling backgrounds, or is this just headline heat? Sound off: Whose résumé carries more weight—Ronda’s championship pedigree or Joe’s TKD titles and decades on the mic? Drop your take, keep it respectful, and tell us what does qualify as real fight experience. 🥋🥊

🛑🥋 When karate was illegal: A wild chapter of Soviet history

a cautionary tale about communism controlling culture. In the late USSR, karate was branded “anti-Soviet,” dojos shuttered, and training pushed underground. Yet the art survived—quiet basements, whispered classes, and athletes who refused to quit. This isn’t just martial arts trivia; it’s about power, identity, and how far people will go to keep their practice alive.

Why it matters now

Shows how governments can reshape sport, speech, and community

Highlights the resilience of practitioners protecting tradition

Explains how modern post-Soviet karate culture rebuilt from the shadows

Your take: Should any state have the power to outlaw a martial art? What would you risk to keep training?
