Someone sure called it with those barriers, eh? “This side of the mountain: ok. That side: goin’ down.”

how to: tai otoshi

I’m stoked because I’m going back to Judo this week after a few months off. Time to try to remember how to do this stuff!

I love how easy this guy makes it look. I watch him and I think “what could possibly go wrong?” Then I go to try it and it always turns out that LOTS can go wrong.

kiiking

So sayeth Ye Olde Wikipedia:

“Kiiking is a sport that was invented in Estonia by Ado Kosk around 1996. In Estonian language kiik means a swing. In a kiiking swing, the swing arms are made of steel to enable a person to swing 360 degrees going over the spindle of the swing . A person is fastened to the swing base by their feet. To swing the person begins to pump by squatting and standing up on the swing. The swing will gain momentum and will by skillful pumping take a person across the spindle.”

dog brothers

Stick/knife fighting arts have never been my cup of tea (my face is just too pretty), but I do l find this footage pretty amazing. For those of you who feel attracted to the idea of hitting good friends over the head with big clubs, check out the Dog Brothers’ website. The guys are nuts, but they are warriors.
