Don’t Mess With This Guy
DO NOT mess with this guy: “Jitsu Kano” lived in Nanapepe Village on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. He was 23 years old during the 1930 census and possessed what may be the most bad-ass birth name in history.
Found an Anvil
Well, I found an anvil. My grandfather would be horrified at the price I paid–at 80 some years old, he thinks they should run about a half a dollar a pound. Problem is, new ones these days start at more like $5/pound and go up from there. Used ones can be even worse because they [...]
The Devil’s Handshake
The Devil’s Handshake is an apt name for this come-along for a number of reasons: it is painful to the victim, requires a betrayal of seemingly friendly intentions, and, like modern warfare, there may not be a clear exit strategy.
Anvil needed!
I need an anvil if anyone knows someone who knows someone who has one tucked away in a barn or shed somewhere that is not needed. Probably have to be in the MD, VA, PA, or DE area, as I’m in central MD. Willing to pay a reasonable asking price, but I’ll certainly accept a [...]
Come-Along Teaser 2
Changed the title on the upcoming post, although the content is still the same come-along. I’m much happier with this title, but you’ll have to wait a day or two to find out what it is.
MMA TCB
Two drunk young men, after fighting with others, attack two cross-dressing men. The cross dressers turn out to be MMAers on their way to a party and toss them a beatdown. It’s always the one you don’t see that gets ya. Follow this link for CCTV footage.
Next up: come-alongs!
Just a teaser to let you all know the upcoming post is titled “The #1 come-along.”
Site down
We’ve been intermittent, if not completely down, for the last two days because of our web host. Might be time to start looking for a new host.
Testing
Just checking out the mobile posting…nothing to see here.
Manly Arts Day in Maryland
Last week I attended a couple hours of this day long event in Towson, MD at the historic Hampton House, a National Park Service site. There’s nothing like the thrill of sunny day filled with martial arts at a historic mansion…
Hacked!
Hacked- looks like somebody got in with a robot and added malicious scripts to the index files. Not sure yet if it was a WP exploit or something from the server end, but I’m working on it. Might go ahead and upgrade the theme and WP while I’m at it, if so the site could [...]
Review: Blood in the Cage by Wertheim (2009)
Like any good bout in the sport of mixed martial arts that Wertheim describes so well, this book is fast-paced and entertaining. This is an important work that documents and discusses the phenomenal success of MMA in recent years and will likely become a standard for those new to the sport.
Proposed Regulations for MD MMA
MMA is coming to Maryland and this is your only chance to get your say in the proposed rules! Comments to the Maryland State Athletic Commission must be submitted by March 2, 2009.
The Superman Punch
All I knew was that his upper body, outside of range an instant ago, was suddenly in range and the big blue glove that covered his right fist was expanding and filling my field of vision as time slowed. I realized that I, standing there flat on one foot, was about to be caught with [...]
Oprishki
I remember seeing a cane once based on the Polish Ciupaga or a variant. While all wood, it had
