Thank's To Trist, another good fight video...

No no no! Trist was NOT involved in this fight, but his savvy skills with the the computer has rendered this blog this video.

This video contains 2 fights. Watch the counter to see how long each fight lasts. It's unclear how the fight started and what the reason was. But what is known, is that real life violence occurred in a typically peaceful location: A Denny's.

What baffles me, is how long this is aloud to go on. Not only do 20+ people sit idle while a fight happens, they let a second one happen. The second fight is much more interesting because you can see it right from the start. Watch how one female battles the other 2. Although she is anything but a skilled fighter, you can see she has done this before and knows when to invoke violence and who to target. No fancy moves, just pure violence.

More violence and some health advice?

The violent world we live in continues to change. Plenty of scholars and researchers debate how violent our culture really is. According to Lt. Colonel David Grossman, this is the most violent time in history. I disagree with him because I personally believe that most acts of violence were unrecorded in older time periods because they were common and typically occurred between people who were illiterate. Thus making them undocumented.

Whatever your view point is, you must acknowledge that violence still exists in our culture in a nasty kind of way.  There are plenty of weapons available to bad guys now and with how loose our legal system is, criminals are released at record numbers.

Tristan sent me this article. I have to say thank you to him here. This article blew me away. Here you have someone who is violent, insane, and mean on a killing spree. Just for kicks, count the number of shots he fires. See how much Gun Control Laws would have saved.

Walk through this article and put yourself in each persons shoes. What went wrong? What could have been done better? Worse?

Nutrition and Fitness have been a hobby of mine for a while. Although I am nothing close to an expert, I like to believe that I have a good ability to listen to my body.

No mater what kind of fitness or health plan you are practicing, ALWAYS take a look at others. Nobody is perfect, and I don't think anyone has all the answers.

About 6 months ago, I found a website that has some unique and good information on health and wellness. I don't buy into half of what they say, but there is a ton of good information on there. If you are interested in checking it out, go here.

Finally, a friend of mine posted this video on his Facebook. It's pretty damn hillarious and very martial arts related. Take a look!
