Pride and Pain: October 2007
http://prideandpain.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
A blog about fighting, martial arts, and warrior culture. Sunday, October 21, 2007. None of the fights were particularly interesting this time around. I thought the Sylvia-Vera match-up would be much more technically interesting, but it boiled down to a much larger, longer opponent overwhelming a smaller guy. Perhaps it would have gone differently if Vera hadn't broken his hand and been reduced to swinging with his elbow on the left side. Links to this post. Thursday, October 11, 2007. It's probably too ...

Pride and Pain: Randy Couture
http://prideandpain.blogspot.com/2007/10/randy-couture.html
A blog about fighting, martial arts, and warrior culture. Thursday, October 11, 2007. It's probably too soon to assume that Randy Couture really is done fighting, given that he's retired before and would be hard-pressed to pass up a fight with Emilianenko if somebody could arrange it. But I probably wouldn't attempt a summary of his career anyway, since a thousand people are typing it up right now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Five Ounces Of Pain. View my complete profile.

A blog about fighting, martial arts, and warrior culture. Friday, October 5, 2007. If they show it again, try to catch the Montiel-Melendez. Bout on Versus. It was a 12-round fight for the WBO junior bantamweight title. One of the best boxing matches i've seen in ages. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Five Ounces Of Pain.

Pride and Pain: Style of the Week VII: Gatka
http://prideandpain.blogspot.com/2007/09/style-of-week-vii-gatka.html
A blog about fighting, martial arts, and warrior culture. Sunday, September 30, 2007. Style of the Week VII: Gatka. Gatka is a martial art originated by and still closely associated with the Sikhs. In my part of the world, Sikhs are little known or understood and frequently mistaken for Arab. Even those who are familiar with Sikhism as a religion are unfamiliar with their history. It turns out that the Sikhs are also a true warrior culture. And a fairly badass one at that. Five Ounces Of Pain. Despite be...

Pride and Pain: August 2007
http://prideandpain.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
A blog about fighting, martial arts, and warrior culture. Wednesday, August 29, 2007. I stumbled across the recent news about sumo wrestler Asashoryu. He was banned from a couple of competitions because he claimed to have an injury to get out of a tournament only to show up at a charity soccer tournament in apparently good health. He is now allegedly extremely depressed and wants to return to Mongolia, his homeland. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 28, 2007. A cool video from this article. On the styl...
