I'm trying to find out the same thing. I'm hoping they're having technical difficulties and that they will be back. They are my #1 source for tutorials so that would suck if they just disappeared. This has happened before and they came back just fine.

MMA is not immune to any of the things that happened before to TMA and arts like karate and Kung when they had their big booms in the 70s and 80s. Back then there were many poorly trained instructors who just suddenly appeared and opened up a school or dojo on some street corner and took people's money while ruining a lot of students in the process. It is the same with MMA and I used to see a lot more poorly trained and poorly schooled fighters with coaches that did not know what the heck they were doing when I was judging MMA several years ago. That has changed a little since Illinois now requires two years of training and experience to get an amateur fighters license but there are still plenty of poor coaches and gyms out there today. Many of these coaches and gyms can teach the basics but do a poor job of that even and of course those training in them think they are getting something better than what they really are. They have no basis or frame of reference telling them that the training they are getting is sub par or sub standard and often times no other place to go and train at but another sub par place across or in another town. Places like what I am referring to generally also do a poor job of training people about other aspects of fighting and so you have what you have now and a great deal of people like those that you ask about in your question. You sometimes even see it in this forum when someone asks about getting licensed and trains somewhere already I think. A good coach will know how that process works and educate those training about it and help them through it instead of them coming here to this forum and asking about it. Beyond all this you also have your Want-a-Be's. I just judged a K-1 fight the other night on a card and it was obvious that one of the fighters did not belong in the ring. He did not even know how to stand, move, throw a jab, much less anything else. Thankfully he quickly got knocked down three times and did not seriously get hurt but it is an example I think of how those that want to can still get in the ring or cage unprepared, untrained, and unskilled if they really want to and some still do.

Good question ! I am wondering the same thing.

The site has gone offline several times in the past with technical problems. I am assuming this is no different and they will be back.

The site is undergoing some technical difficulties, and it will be back soon.!!!
