 |  Jean-Jacques Machado I posted a thread about Baxter "The One-Armed Bandit" Humby (a kickboxing champion with a partially missing right arm) on the Thai Boxing forum. Upon looking on the Net for info on him, I happened upon some info on Jean Jacques Machado. I did not know that he has part of his left hand missing. It is visible in many pics but I have only seen one article mention it. Does anyone know any more details about this? How did this affect his groundfighting game/ training? Any links to pages with the info would be welcomed. If you read my Humby thread then you'll know why I'm so interested. Thanks in advance! |

| You are correct, he is missing most of his hand, and to this day, he has never been tapped out. He is unbelievable! I am a big fan of him. I wish I lived in LA to take the Machado classes at I.A.M.A.

| Jimi, I think a Machado school will be opening up in Salt Lake City soon. It will be run by Ica Medina but I'm sure the Machado bros will give seminars. As for me, I still haven't found any detailed info on Jean-Jacques yet.  |

| Check out the Abu Dhabi website. There should be some info on him in there for sure. I think he is undefeated in that tournament.

| He actually just released a new book with Kid Peligro and he mentions it briefly there. He said that the fingers on that hand just simply never formed. He also said that once No-Gi submission wrestling like ADCC came into favor he was actualy well suited for it since he was not able to use a lot of the techniques that required you to hold the Gi. |
