Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2015

An interesting day to post on a martial arts blog. Choosing a non-violent path is definitely the more admirable choice in most circumstances. It's an interesting fact that well-trained martial artists are actually less likely to get into (non-sport, non-training-oriented) physical confrontations. There are of course liability issues and possible legal consequences, but even more so, the confidence gained through training often helps one diffuse tensions without worrying about "saving face." (Of course, there are exceptions-- "Let me Bang, bro! Let me BANG!!!!")...

Anyway, Happy Martin Luther King Day. Take some time to remember the man and the reason we celebrate, and the gains we have made as a country and society (and some of the things we've lost as well).

Coming soon-- More workout info, and some equipment revues (as opposed to "reviews"--blades, and various sparring and workout gloves).

White Belt Out!
