MMJ To Sponsor MMA Fighter Shawn Fitzsimmons
In an effort to expand awareness of medical marijuana, Trichome Health Consultants will sponsor Professional MMA Fighter Shawn Fitzsimmons for upcoming World Fighting Federation Lightweight Title Aug 23rd in Tucson, AZ.
- (1888PressRelease) August 07, 2014 - In an unprecedented move, Medical Marijuana Provider Trichome Health Consultants of Colorado Springs, CO is proud to be a co-sponsor professional MMA Fighter Shawn Fitzsimmons for his Aug 23rd title fight for the World Fighting Federation 15 at Casino Del Sol Resort/Conference Center in Tucson, AZ.
Shawn Fitzsimmons has spent the last six years as a professional mixed martial arts fighter, accumulating 10 wins including headlining a fight at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, NV. He has a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple and has trained under world-renowned instructor and fighter, Fredson Paixao. Fitzy also won the Mid South Golden Gloves Championship.
More and more athletes are turning to medical marijuana in their training regiment and pain management as an alternative to the addictive qualities of pharmaceuticals. Trichome's sponsorship of Fitzsimmons is a way to help educate the public on the beneficial effects of MMJ.
As of now, MMJ is currently banned so fighters have to clean their system before a bought but even the NFL is reconsidering their current ban. Numerous professional MMA fighters as well as sports stars in other genres swear by the medicinal qualities of medical marijuana. Statistics are still coming in but MMJ is known to help with the recover of head trauma and brain damage caused by a lot of heavy duty sports.
Trichome is proud to be a sponsor for Fitzy's upcoming fight and to help educate the world. "With more and more states legalizing MMJ, it's only a matter of time before athletic associations will loosen their restrictions", said a Trichome spokesperson. "Our goal is to help educate the people on the beneficial uses of medical marijuana. MMJ is a great non-addictive way to help alleviate pain as opposed to pharmaceuticals. We also have a consultation department for those interested in opening up a clinic."

The connection between Fitzy and Trichome came about by chance. Trichome is a sponsor of The Don Barnhart Hypnosis Show and features his hypnotherapy CDs at the Colorado Springs Clinic. The comedian, hypnotist and actor began training with Shawn in preparation for a new feature film when Barnhart's wife, Linda Vu was putting together her LV Fitness Academy Women's Self Defense Tour for the military and recruited Shawn as one of their instructors.
"It just seemed natural to put the two together", said Barnhart in a phone interview. "Since Vegas passed legalization of medical marijuana, I thought by getting Trichome to sponsor several Las Vegas fighters would be a great asset. In fact, by bringing Trichome onboard we're hoping to attract a small group of athletes as key investors to open up our own Trichome of Las Vegas."
LV Fitness Academy is based in Las Vegas, NV and founded by fitness expert Linda Vu. Linda is a Certified Fitness Trainer, Self Defense Instructor, Fitness Consultant, and an International Fitness Model. She just released the Women's Self Defense Training DVD and her body of work includes the Power Abs workout DVD along with her motivational workout CD Energy Hour. She is currently working on her upcoming fitness book Get The Body You Want. Linda is trained and certified in Wing Chun Kung Fu, best known as the foundation of Bruce Lee's martial arts. Linda is also trained in Close Quarters Combat, Knife Fighting and Weapons Disarmament.
Linda trains out of her Las Vegas studio, works with the military around the world and specializes in bringing her Women's Self Defense seminars to corporations, gyms, training centers, colleges, learning institutions and private events.
The LV Fitness Academy first noticed Fitzsimmons when they were recruiting self-defense experts for an upcoming tour for the Department of Defense's (DOD) Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE). Vu personally hand picked her team to teach reality based self-defense techniques to the women serving overseas in the military. The Linda Vu Women's Self Defense Tour was a great compliment to the SAPRO training that the military is already providing to offset the increased sexual harassment issues the women the military currently face.
"Shawn was a great addition to our tour, said Linda Vu. "His background in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu really helped to round out the techniques we use to teach women reality-based ground defensive techniques. It was both educational and empowering to see so many women turn up for the seminars." The tour itself went to military bases in England, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands.
In fact, the tour was so popular Linda was asked to put together a DVD for home training. Fitzsimmons is also featured in the newly released Linda Vu Women's Self Defense DVD available at www.LVFitnessAcademy.com as well as on Amazon.
When Shawn isn't training he is a personal trainer based in Las Vegas, NV working with other fighters, actors, models and even famous comedians getting them in the best shape of their life. He recently returned from an overseas tour with the LV Fitness Academy teaching the women in the military self defense techniques and is also featured in Linda Vu Women's Self Defense Training DVD.
The World Fighting Federation 15 title fight between Shawn "Fitzy" Fitzsimons and Raymond Pina will take place August 23rd at Casino Del Sol Resort/Conference Center in Tucson, AZ. More information and tickets can be purchased at www.BuyFightTickets.com.
