Gerald Ford vs. Teddy Roosevelt, no holds barred MMA fight. Who wins?

Despite his portrayal as a clumsy oaf, Gerald Ford was almost certainly the best athlete to ever serve in the White House. He was a legendary college football player who won two national championships at the University of Michigan, and was MVP of the team in his senior year. Ford turned down contract offers from the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers, but turned down a career in the NFL in order to attend law school. Ford was a avid skier until his 80s and continued swimming regularly for exercise into his 90s, and he would have had a notable size advantage over Theodore Roosevelt.

However, if someone genuinely knows what they are doing during a mixed martial arts fight, they are going to be very difficult to defeat -- even against an opponent who might be a superior athlete in every other sense. That has been a lesson learned throughout the growth of MMA as a mainstream sport dating back to Royce Gracie easily handling much bigger opponents in the early UFC with his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Or Rickson Gracie calmly controlling and systematically dominating literally everyone he fought in Japan, no matter who Pride FC threw at him.

Theodore Roosevelt would be giving up quite a bit of size and athletic ability against Gerald Ford, but TR was an early student of martial arts. As President -- in the White House itself -- Roosevelt kept active with wrestling (always the best foundation for a mixed martial artist) and boxing. And he was among the first Americans to actually train in jiu jitsu and judo, receiving lessons directly from the legendary Yamashita Yoshiaki. Because of that experience, I think Theodore Roosevelt probably would have given any of his fellow Presidents a rough day at the office if they had an MMA fight, no matter how big or strong or athletic his opponent might be.

BJJ Versus Luta Livre: A Social Class Warfare

In today’s blog post, I am going to talk about the BJJ versus Luta Livre rivalry. Both grappling arts originated in Brazil during the early 20th century and have since been at odds with each other, each claiming to be the superior fighting system. However, the roots of this rivalry run deeper than just martial arts techniques and strategies. The rivalry between Luta Livre and BJJ has been…

Internal movement is much more real than it seems. Vision and scale are widely appreciated and are often confused with impact and meaning.

As a kid I've learnt through my gut-intolerance that a subtle movement of the wrong liquid or substance could collapse my entire physiological system. My strong and agile body could crumple and lose all vitality. This morning I read how micro and unnoticeable particles of glass that were inhaled over years, killed one of my favorite philosophers, B.Spinoza. His monumental ideas about nature and god finished with a fresh breath of glassy air.

I don't think that Tai Chi or Yoga Masters are resistant to kicks and knife attacks in a street fight but they can incredibly resist, retain and control the internal movement of the breath and maybe the movement of the mind. Internal and external deserve careful consideration and are never a simple matter of black and white, Bruce Lee and Rickson Gracie are interesting examples of athletes who translated the knowledge of the internal into the practical necessities of the external and vice versa.

The question "What is internal movement'? Has been a root to the philosophy of so many important fields: medicine, neurology, biology, nutrition, etc.

Overlooking it in the field of physical movement can lead to a very shallow practice in the long run, one that will always end up in an empty pursuit of confirmation and goal-addiction...
