"The Level 4 amateur gloves are off the hook.  We used them for the Ring of Fire Domination show in Broomfield Colorado this September, and they held up as good or better than any glove we have used in the past.  They were equally loved by the fighters, the boxing commission and the Ring of Fire staff.  Way to go Primetime!"

For years, PrimeTime gloves have been found in the MMA 'trenches' said Mark Wodika, PrimeTime President. "and we've always had phenomenal support from full contact fighters, gyms and promoters such as the Thailand Sports Commission, The World Kickboxing Association, KICK International as well as a host of other premiere organzations.  To become the Official Gloves of MMA Worldwide and to add that association to our list of premiere organizations supporting PrimeTime is indeed a tribute to all the hard work our company has done to bring quality gear to full contact fighters.

Added Pittman, "you'll see promotions and specials on PrimeTime products that will be exclusive to MMA Worldwide Members Only.    We're there for our members, and the decision to make PrimeTime our 'official Amateur and Pro" MMA gloves will be a huge benefit for all our fighters, gym owners and promoters

Now Open in Chicago!  Last Sunday, PrimeTime was invited to the grand opening of the Olympian Gym which is actually Couture's Extreme Gym in Lombard, Illinois. What a beautiful facility.  Let me tell you, we're inside gyms day in and day out, nearly 24/7 and this is probably one of the nicest facilities in the Midwest.  The gym has everything a MMA athlete needs featuring a great weight/cardio room, two full sized wrestling mats, heavy bags, speed bags  and a regulation sized octagon cage.


Whats really great is they've spared no expense in providing some of the best instruction found in Chicagoland.  You'll find WBO/WBC Champion Fres Oquendo,  Five X Greco-Roman Wrestling Champion Eric Wetzel,  Judo and JJ Instructor Tim Boling as well as 2X TKD national champion Tony Kimbraugh leading the list of top flight instructors.  

Now here's the kicker for all you local guys looking to truly make it in the MMA fight world. In consecutive weeks the Olympian Center had visits from Randy Couture and Chris Lytle.  How'd things go?  Well, folks waited over 2 hours to see Randy Couture.  There was actually a line sprawling around the building with fans and fighters of all ages waiting patiently to see 'The Natural'.  The following weekend, there were a series of weekend seminars featuring Chris Lytle.

How was PrimeTime involved in all these festivities?  Well, we were the only equipment & apparel manufacturer invited to the Couture Grand Opening and the place was just choc full of PrimeTime gear which flew out the door with every sign-up.  Naturally, Chis Lytle , a PrimeTime fighter from way back, was found with our fight shorts and rash guards during the seminar weekend.

So we'd like to take a moment and thank all involved including Peter Becker and Tony Kimbrough as well as the staff at the Olympian Center.  We appreciate!

PrimeTime Spotlight - History Channel - Human Weapon

History Channel Logo
Wanna hear something very cool?  I was settled in, late one weeknight watching the Marine Corps Training Segment of "Human Weapon" on the History Channel.  And, lo & behold, what did we see when the show took us to a training base 'so secret that it has never been filmed before'?  PrimeTime gloves.  PrimeTime Thai Pads.  PrimeTime Brand everywhere.

As the owner and designer of PrimeTime gear, you bet that I've always been proud of the fact the US Marine Corp buys our products.  But even more important is that when you ask me if our gear is tough and durable, I can look you straight in the eyes and say that our gear is a favorite of  Marine Corp training instructors around the world.  I'm very proud of that fact and vow to you that we will continue to make PrimeTime gear to those extreme standards 
PrimeTime Spotlight - Dave Strasser - Freestyle Academy

Dave StrasserFolks, if there's a bigger character than Dave Strasser training top flight MMA fighters, I want to know who that is!!  If you've met Dave, you know exactly what I'm talking about!  If you've seen the Tapout TV shows featuring Dave's FreeStyle Fighters, than you have seen only a glimpse of one of the most colorful fighters and trainers in today's sport.

And, what's more, Dave's gym is a PrimeTime Gym.  That's right.  Make a visit  to either of Dave's Freestyle Gym locations (Waukegan, Illinois and Kenosha Wisconsin) and you'll see plenty of PrimeTime Branded Gear.
