Here's an email from Larry Novak, owner of Tattoo Fightwear, a New Cumberland-based mma clothing company:

Tattoo Fightwear is sponsoring James "Shrapnel" Chappell, here are a few of his stats:
-Green Belt USMC Martial Arts
-High School Wrestling
-Blue Belt BJJ
-1yr. Boxing/Muy Thai
-Competed in NAGA, UGC and took a gold medal at the PA.State BJJ Tournament
-Ammy record: 3-0
-Light weight title holder for the Central PA. Warrior Challenge.

To see one of Chappell's fights, click here.

Ted's Take: Jimmy's won all of his fights by armbar - which, don't get me wrong, is a great thing - but I can't wait to see it when he lets his hands go.

So, I'm at the CPWC III last month and I see this new mma clothing company with a booth set up and a mascot that looks like Cerberus, the mythical three-headed dog that guards the land of the dead:

On A3's site, he's known as the Dogoyle. Cool. Although I didn't have time to say what's up to them, I've since met 'em on facebook, found out they're based not too far away in Va. So here they are; hit 'em up.

I wanted to get down some of my impression of the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge III, held last Friday in Lancaster, so here goes ...

I've known promoter Mark Jovich for about 2 1/2 years, pretty much ever since I started this blog. The man is top-notch - a Marine for more than a quarter-century, former military instructor at Dallastown High School, father, husband and of course, martial arts master at Central Pennsylvania Martial Arts Academy in New Cumberland.

Mark's no fly-by-nighter, no "one-and-done" promoter; he's here to stay and to build on what he has constructed so far: quality events, the most bang for the buck, while gving young fighters the chance to realize their dreams.

If you can't make the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge III: "Night of the Unbeatens" tomorrow (Fri., 10/23) in Lancaster, tune in to mmamelee.com and watch it on the live stream. According to Mike Malast, mmamelee.com moderator, the live stream "will be plastered in a few spots. I will even make the banner active with the room also. It should be very easy to see."

Good seats are still available for the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge III - "Night of the Unbeatens."

MMA social netowkring site Mmamelee.com has a great interview with York County fighter Justin Scott:

Justin "Skiz" Scott, an amazing talent just 20 years of age is making his pro-debut this Friday night at the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge III. Justin is a member of team M.A.C.E training out of Central Pennsylvania Mixed Martial Arts Academy who along with teammates Chad Strawbridge and Duane Bastress have been dominating MMA events in PA ever since it became legal. MMA MELEE sat down with Justin to congratulate him and discuss the path MMA has led him down.

MMA MELEE- Congratulation on your successful MMA career. When most 20 year olds are out partying and barely even pondering their future, you work a full-time job and now you're turning pro in the most vigorous sport on the planet, how do you manage to stay focused and keep moving forward?

JUSTIN- Staying focused isn't hard for me these days. My first MMA fight was when I was 18, right away I understood the dedication needed to excel in this sport so I started making sacrifices then. I do miss hanging out with my friends but I don't think I'm missing out on life, MMA has helped me grow up faster. I stay focused by accepting any challenges the world throws my way and then I set goals for myself. I enjoy what I do everyday and I have a good team behind me, I wouldn't have it any other way honestly.
