Ladies & Gentlemen... Dojo Miura MMA team! 
Saturday, December 8 was held in Desio (MI), the first leg of the Italian league MMA light.
Miura Dojo MMA team, including myself taking care of the preparation for the fight to the ground, decided to participate in this circuit, that although it could be debated by the nose to some purists' is an excellent opportunity to testing the waters of this discipline, and bring the most reluctant to get punched in the face in a "full contact". So punctually (ehm. ..) Saturday morning we left for that of Desio, James "Strappapupazzi" Balestra (JKD instructor of the Dojo Miura, coach of the team along with another teacher and athlete in JKD Massimo Mendozzi +90 kg), Umberto "Osvaldo" Manfredi (practitioner of Weng Chun, MMA, Jiu-Jitsu athlete and in the +90 kg) , Demir (practitioner of JKD, MMA, athlete in the +70 kg), the girl Demir because the eye wants its part, Roberto teacher of capoeira with Ben and Stephen (the cheerleader of capoeira, in short:-P ), and myself for this time merely to make the corner. What can I say? A SUCCESS! Demir won his first match points although he has fought without a half eye, which was inadvertently gouged out by the opponent with a fingerprint. Then it was the turn of James, that looking at his adversary (a 100kg beast like Lou Ferrigno, "demoted" in the category of James to allow him to fight) we had some doubts .... and we tell him "No, calm, go 'and make' your stuff ..."... Shortly after the start of the match James, who was trying to hold off 'this thing so thick that light did not go with the shots, was named Umberto on the mat, so I did the corner putting between the two tatami and shouting from one side, with a fairly fun of those who watched the scene. Umberto has shown in record time and aimed his opponent twice, and I had time to Tornari by Jacopo that in extra-time against her, has dominated on the ground (8-)), and won, which is not We even believe him! Demir was then played the final points but losing patience, the whole experience. E 'u time left for another meeting of Humbert, who has shown again and intended to go-go, and the final of the +90 kg between Humbert and James (win)! Because I felt bad angle to make one of the two, I cut the head of the bull and while they were fighting me and Robi insult them, with the referee looking at us a bit 'confused ehehehehe Bottom line: onset of Miura Dojo MMA team, three athletes into two categories, one gold and two silvers!
