Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A lot of the most pragmatic fighting styles use techniques that are illegal in competition. I don't know much about krav, but I wouldn't be surprised...

One instructor complains about having to lose his groin kick while training for a kickboxing competition. I feel his pain.

The instructor that was training for UFC for a hot second supplemented his normal krav traning with boxing and Greco-Roman wrestling. We do quite a bit of ground sparring, but not so much to submission. More to the break or dislocation.

I can see that too. Most of the armbars and locks can cause serious damage if you yank hard enough. bone breaks in MMA fights aren't exactly common, but not unheard of either.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Less than 24 hours. FUCK.

What is even happening?

Last new Angel day. The east coast has 9 hours and 50 minutes (per my PC clock) 'til it starts, and 10 hours and 50 minutes until it's over.

Swouncing

The first "Buffy" thread in TT? The "Am I the Only Watcher?" one, that was founded by Agnes Bertiz? It started on May 19, 1997. Exactly 7 years ago. And today will be the last episode of the Buffyverse.

What a ride.

The evil is this way?

Last new Angel day.

Even worse -- Last new M.E. day. (No, Firefly, no Buffy.)

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Even worse -- Last new M.E. day. (No, Firefly, no Buffy.)

Rocks in corner, whimpering.

Next week I'm moving and won't be able to have Tivo or great cable anymore. I guess if there's anytime to lose it, its now. Maybe I'll take a jaunt over to Amazon Marketplace and pick out some good books.
