Before his past two fights many were questioning whether his credentials justified giving him a shot at the title, with some even unfairly comparing him to EliteXC YouTube sideshow attraction Kimbo Slice. In the aftermath of Lesnars UFC 100 victory the new question surrounding the former WWE champion has become who can beat this guy? Lesnar definitely is a freaky physical specimen combining size and strength with speed and agility. Hes also progressing by leaps and bounds as a fighter with every bout.

In the ‘real world’ time heals all wounds. In the fight game, money has the same curative effect. This was vividly illustrated with the recent announcement that Tito Ortiz has patched things up with Dana White and will return to the UFC.

Ortiz has had several run ins with the UFC over their notoriously tight pay structure, and first left the promotion in 2005. He was back later that year for a run as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter against longtime rival Ken Shamrock. After losing to current light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida in his last UFC appearance, he left the company and bounced around in a promotional capacity. He had surgery on his back in the process, and now claims that hes back to 100%.

The deadliest weapon in all the martial arts world is…the towel. This weapon is so deadly it should be outlawed. In fact, anybody caught with a towel in hand should be arrested and thrown into the darkest prison!

When one considers the towel, one should consider the vast speed it moves at. The hand flicks, and the tip of the towel can exceed one hundred miles an hour! Thus, the tip of a speeding towel can split skin and create mighty welts!

Bam, wham and slam! You find yourself thrown to the ground! You have just received the beating of your life!

After you heal, you explore the martial arts. But they are so expensive, and people want to put you on expensive contracts, and it takes years to earn a black belt. Well, it used to take years to earn a black belt, unless you know about Matrix Karate.[l:3:J]

Brazilian Jujitsu, also referred to as BJJ, is gaining a lot of traction in North America, the UK, and Australia as both a combat sport and an effective martial art for self-defense. This rapid increase in popularity is thanks to several factors, but the primary reason is because it was, and continues to be used with terrific results in mixed martial arts (MMA) organizations like the UFC.

BJJ is unique in the martial arts realm in that practitioners can attack from what would normally be considered a defensive position and vice versa. This leads many spectators to assume that a BJJ practitioner is in danger when he’s actually on the attack.

The Bujinkan is a new martial arts organization established by Masaaki Hatsumi Soke, the Founder, in the last 30 years.

The teachings of these schools have been handed down in direct teacher/disciple relationships throughout a lineage of some two hundred and one Soke.

In brief, Bujutsu refers to the classical martial arts/systems (pre-1600’s), while Ninjutsu is a section within Bujutsu. To think of Ninjutsu as being something outside of Bujutsu is incorrect, as is thinking of the Bujinkan Dojo as teaching only Ninjutsu.
