About Jimmy's Tattoo








Hi Jimmy! Would you tell something about your Tattoos?

Jimmy : My tattoo is of the Hindu God Ganesh. He is the remover of obstacles (among other things) in the Hindu Pantheon. I got into Hindu philosophy and art while i was at UCLA, although i am not a practicing Hindu.I thought about the image for about 5 years and it has taken about 3 years and 44 hours up to this point and it is not quite finished. I like the image for a variety of reasons. I appreciate the idea that a fighter has to overcome a tremendous number of obstacles in order to be successful. he biggest obstacle is always yourself, your own doubts and fears, Ganesh i all about overcoming them and staying positive while living in the moment.

Know Doug and Jimmy



DOUG ANDERSON



Born with a restless soul and a fighting spirit, 25-year-old Doug Anderson has already seen a lot of the world.
A native of New Jersey, Anderson enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2002, and served for one intense and highly decorated year in war-torn Iraq. During his Army service Doug was part of the Rapid Deployment Force, and from 2004 to 2005, his infantry unit saw the most frontline combat of any in the war zone.
It was during his time in the military that Doug first became interested in martial arts. After building is skills in Jiu-Jitsu, Doug became a personal bodyguard for a high-ranking Army officer serving in Iraq. After earning nine medals for his wartime service, Doug left the Army in 2005, and continued to pursue his martial arts training. To date, Doug has earned a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu, and is also an impassioned student of Muay Thai kickboxing and traditional boxing.
When he is not touring the world for Fight Quest, Doug volunteers with various civic organizations, spends time with his nieces and nephews, and enjoys drawing, painting and tattooing.

JIMMY SMITH




With a record of six wins and one loss, Jimmy Smith is one of mixed martial arts' rising stars.
In the cage, the 5'10", 175-pound Smith is known as a lighting-fast grappler who can destroy opponents in under three minutes. When it comes to facing Smith, if you're not smart enough to "tap-out," you may end up with a snapped tendon ... or worse.
In addition to his MMA career, Smith has earned a Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt and holds various Jiu-Jitsu titles including: the Joe Moreira Tournament Lightweight Champion, Copa Pacifica Welterweight Champion, Cleber Luciano Tournament Welterweight Champion, and the Paragon Tournament Champion. Smith also placed third in the Southern California Submission Pro-Am and the 2003 Gracie Open.
Fighting is in Jimmy's blood: His grandfather was a boxer in the U.S. Army, and his father taught Jimmy the ins and outs of backyard brawling. Smith officially began his fighting career in high school on the wrestling team. While studying history at UCLA he joined the Jiu-Jitsu team and further perfected his grappling skills. After graduating from UCLA in 2000, Smith continued his martial arts studies with Team Punishment out of Huntington Beach. He fought in his first pro fight with Team Punishment in 2001, then moved to Los Angeles, where he currently resides and continues to fight professionally.
When Smith is not traveling around the world kicking ass, he enjoys spending time on Venice Beach and rock climbing at Joshua Tree National Monument.
