Mike had a great comment regarding that aspect

They don't have the resources to see it like we do, and experience it like we do So we try to help bring it to them. These guys put their lives on the line every day, and at the end of the day, they're still willing to go through a tournament." Scott is actually in Iraq and plays a hands on role.A portion of Jitz proceeds go to support the Wounded Warrior Project. The WWP is an honorable cause, a cause that deserves its own column written about its efforts. Mike points to their genuine willingness and drive to do their part. "At the end of the day it was something we didn't have to do, we wanted to do it."Helping the troops is just one strong point to take away from their efforts. In the process they also display a more human side to the MMA community.

Mike had a great comment regarding that aspect. "A lot of people don't realize just how evolved the sport it is, just how articulate it is, how calculated it is, and just how much knowledge actually goes into it. And just like anybody else, MMA fighters, cage fighters, whether they are amateur or pro, can actually still care about people. You know, care about life issues and politics, we've got brains too."I think its crucial that people see people involved in MMA doing stuff like this. It kind of washes off that tainted picture that MMA is a bunch of knuckle heads. I think it's absolutely crucial that people can associate more positives with MMA."Supporting the men and women of our armed forces, and setting a tone of respect and dignity representing the MMA community is a great way for Jitz to display some of those positives.

It also displays their intentions to raise the sport up with their lead.When talking about the future, Mike was quick to claim his intentions, "We plan to take over the world, one fighter at a time I wish I was kidding but that's our goal. We want to go straight to the top. "We don't want to replace anybody Competition in this business is necessary We deserve to be on the radar That's how we feel, we deserve it, we earned it You know we built Jitz from nothing. We didn't have anything when we started this company, just an idea. We felt like the sponsorship in MMA clothing was lacking something and we had the answer to it."In closing Mike had this to say, "Give Jitz a chance, we're just a bunch of guys that started from nothing, and we're going somewhere. We can't do it without the fans or the fighters."For more information about the efforts of Jitz to support our troops, or to check out their line of MMA gear check out their website and myspace pages..
