Social Media Blackout Day #7 – Can’t be touched.

You can say what you want about Women’s MMA, but let me say this. Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche fought with the intensity of like 20 dudes.  That shit was epic.  Ronda’s armbar?  Pure class.  And that’s like the only moment where I would love to be armbared.  By Ronda Rousey. UFC 157 was a…

Kyokushin vs. Traditional Karate

Kyokushin Karate is one of my favorite martial arts. It’s a hard striking style, and its emphasis on practicality makes it a very useful art to learn.
