Martial Arts: The Next Big Thing?
Statesman, NY
Joe, wearing the same yellow belt and white outfit as Josh, and Chuck, a
Judo competitor, wearing a blue outfit and blue belt...
“I’ve never seen the place this crowded,” a 20-something man
said to his friend as they stood in the entrance, surveying the
scene of the Hooters in Islandia.
A blonde “Hooter’s girl” -- as the waitresses are called --
whose shift has just ended, said what many waiting in the crowd
don’t want to hear: “I don’t think you guys are gonna
get in here tonight. People aren’t gonna get up ‘til the
fights are over.”
The fight card features five bouts, headlined by a middle weight
title fight between champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva and
Dan Henderson. The crowd is excited to see whether the tough
veteran Henderson can beat the seemingly unstoppable Silva, or if
he will fall victim to Silva’s powerful, flowing offense, once
deemed by UFC color commentator Joe Rogan as a “ballet of
violence.”...

How
I Got This Body: In fighting trim
Minneapolis Star Tribune, MN
Paula Maccabee started taking Tae Kwon Do with her son Aaron
when he was 5 years old. Now he's 13. By Sarah Moran
Like
son, like mom
I started training at Lee's World Tae Kwon Do Academy in St.
Paul because my 5-year-old son was training there. I ended up driving with
him to lessons and practicing with him to help him learn, so I thought I
should do it myself as long as I'm spending all this time. I fell in love
with the martial arts.
Eight years later...
