I was introduced to submission grappling 20 years before I ever saw the early UFCs.As a 5 year old boy in 1973 I can remember my uncles and older cousins putting me in hammerlocks until I said "uncle".Of course I would fight like mad and say "never" until finally succumming.
Since stumbling across jiu-jitsu after being out of competitive wrestling for almost 12 years I fell in love with it and soon began competing in MMA after watching it on tv for years.I had my first fight at 32 and just had my 18th fight last weekend just a few weeks shy of my 40th birthday.
I have often desdcribed jiu jitsu as wrestling until someone says "uncle" to those who inquire without any prior knowledge.Anyways I now promote shows in Louisiana and a local guy has started a clothing company ironically called say uncle.On his logo he has a skull with an Uncle Sam hat on his head.Really cool stuff!Best part is the guy is as nice a guy as you will find in or out of MMA.
Check out sayuncleclothing.com The website is not complete yet but will be soon.You can;however, see the logo or at least part of it.I will try to post a pic of the shirt he gave me as soon as I can find someone to show my tecnologically challenged self how to do it.The guy is a professional and wears no make up like a clown or for fashion (cough homo cough)and wears no jewelry like a metrosexual or whatever.A real man in other words.
All products are made in America!
We never did hammerlocks, but there sure were a lot of titty twisters, pinching, noogies, etc
MATEI!!!
(Jesse Taylor has sullied my good (nick)name.)
Steve, the owner, is interested in sponsoring fighters and I have assured him that I will do all I can to help him.Should you want to be considered for sponsorship you can contact me at donleycrew4@yahoo.com until he posts his contact info on his site.He brought his stuff to our show this weekend and gave stuff to all of the fighters and the shirts wer selling like hotcakes.Fightshorts will be coming soon.

Seeing that you're averaging about 8 posts/year, we will have forgotten who Jesse is by the next time you post.

They need to bring back saying Uncle....then we wouldn't have none of this "did he or didn't he tap" nonsense.
Not too many words out there that sound like Uncle
And how the hell did saying Uncle become the phrase for giving up in the first place?
LOL @ succumming on your uncles and cousins.
Succumbing would be less embarassing. ;)
Really man.Glad I didn't misspell it using a k .
I think he would be happy with coast to coast US brand recognition.He treated the fighters on the show really good and I wish him the best.
You may have jumped the gun posting this - the web site is nothing but the landing page.
Just trying to get the word out.Steve,the owner says the site will be ready soon.I will try to get someone who knows how to post pics post one of my shirt.I have the weathered cotton tight fitting style with the ink like Affliction uses but the shirt isn't nearly as "loud" yet very stylish with a doase of patriotism w/o being too much.I like the balance of the design.
send me the pic, I'll post it.
List your e-mail address.I do not know how to fully utilize this site but I will send it that way.Thanks.
Quik - We never did hammerlocks, but there sure were a lot of titty twisters, pinching, noogies, etc
