Supermoms Force Toddlers to Battle

Three sisters and their mother forced their children to scrap—we’re talking about two- and a three-year-old—while filming it, calling the boy a “wimp” and “faggot” when he didn’t want to bash his little sister with a magazine or a hairbrush. They have inexplicably avoided jail time. [News.Sky.com]

Reader Andrew K. sent this video of a “Kiai Master” using “chi” to knock back dozens of fighters with nary a touch. The punchline, so to speak, comes when the master offers $5,000 to anyone who can defeat him with any mix of martial arts, with predictable and even tragic result. This poor old huckster […]

Who would pantomime putting the hurt onto Jeannie? Only a cruel, SAG card-wielding nobody, that’s who.
After the jump, Glen Ford knocks Erin Grey in the kisser. Don’t hit ladies, gentlemen, unless they’ve got knives.

The rest of the children at the dojo never forgot the time Chuckie was exploded by the upside-down side suto. At least until ice cream sandwich time!

Lego Guns

My very favorite Lego builder Soren has put up this collection of guns. For no other reason than I find them to be understated and well made, have a look. (If you think these are the least bit impressive, his Flickr photostream will knock your socks’ blocks off.)
Now, we’re gonna get… bigger guns. [Flickr]

Is it wrong that the scathing reviews of theme restaurant Ninja New York have done nothing to quench my thirst to be served sake by the half-liter by deadly assassins? Even worse than theme restaurant—anathema to New Yorkers—it’s an old theme restaurant, and supposedly expensive, to (tabi) boot.
But whatever. I can think of at least […]

Defendu: Gutter Fighting

I’ve barely skimmed through the archives at “Gutter Fighting,” a compendium of articles and history about the real-world fighting style “Defendu,” but I can already tell there’s a lot of good stuff here. Defendu is the name given to a practical style of fighting developed by Lt. Colonel William Ewart Fairbairn, formerly of the British […]

This picture is an obvious setup (look at the glass on the other side of the bus), but I love the idea that there’s a kid running around with a ninja hood getting his picture taken next to real ultimate destruction. The dog looks happy to be a ninja assistant, too. Who wouldn’t be?
Bus vs. […]

Gary Andrew Poole questions why the Ultimate Fighting Championship (and its now-sister league, Pride) don’t get more mainstream coverage:
When I reported a piece a couple years ago for TIME (check out Robert Gallagher’s excellent photo essay from the story) about the UFC I came away impressed; I was given a lot of access to the […]

“Have-a-Go Hero”
