Here's a short video of the (oddly enough) ever-so-popular taekwondo face-block. The title is "Karate Kick Knockout", but this is good ol' TKD.
No one quite uses the face to block an attack like these guys... Great kicking though, I'll give him that much.
Had To Hit The Code
Looks like we've finally discovered which way Trayvon entered RATL on his return from the store. If true, he had a key code to come in, meaning he returned after 7pm when the gate closed, and he had a right to be on the grounds. GZ's story about TM using the cut through by Taaffe's is false.

figure. But the former college football player claims a 50-pound,

the hands of 4-foot-2 Rodrigo Carpio. Walker

Poking fun at Brazilian jiu-jitsu
The Simpsons is a brilliant TV-show. Here's Homer being challenged to face his doom with Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Just to be clear, in case there are any haters out there - I love BJJ and grappling (as well as The Simpsons). In fact I train BJJ myself.
Debunk the Florida Task Force’s outrageous claims on Shoot First
[From The Site click here]
Despite the growing body of evidence showing Shoot First laws
result in more killing — not safer communities – the Task Force
examining Florida’s Shoot First law is listening to NRA lobbyists and
claiming they found no evidence the law is actually dangerous. Before

Okay
It certainly seems strange that the blood trails from any two photos should be an exact match. This really bears some looking into. After all, we didn't see these pictures of GZ until they emerged days later? Or was that weeks later? After all, these pictures weren't released to the

Updated at 2 p.m. ET: The voice heard crying for help on a 911 call just before Trayvon Martin was shot to death was not that of George Zimmerman, according to two forensic voice identification experts, one of whom told MSNBC on Sunday that he believes the evidence is strong enough to use in court

SANFORD, Fla. -- In the summer of 2010, a masked man gunned down
Ikeem Ruffin, 17, in an apartment complex on this city's north side.
When police arrived, they found Ruffin dead and another teenager beside
the body calling for an ambulance. The next day, police charged the teen
with robbery and murder.

POINTS TO PONDER
Basically, the point of law that the jury will be required to look at
is the instant situation surrounding the time the shot was fired.
A) The prelude to the shot, while remarkable as it may be, can only
go so far to establish, who should reasonably have been in that area.
To establish that it was proper for GZ to have been in that
area, it needs to be shown that there were no

Then, this karateka not only goes mental, he absolutely beats up a female colleague! How about that for being ka-rotty ka-razy?
the "best" part though is that it appears he used his martial arts skills to beat up his female co-worker over something as trivial as singing...
Yes folks, singing...
Apparently, the female victim told the ka-razy journalist that he should stick to his day job and stop his vocal performance.
Apparently, he didn't take too kindly to the critic, and you can go here to read about the karate madman.
And if you want to know what happened to his day job, then the answer is that he don't have one right now... Bummer.
One Minute Bunkai™
I'm sure many people are already familiar with "One Minute Bunkai™" on YouTube. It appears to be the creation mainly of Angel Lemus and a few associates. Lemus shinshi is a long time practitioner of Okinawan karate (Sukunaihayashi-ryu [Shorin-ryu], Goju-ryu and more) and has been sharing his understanding of kata and bunkai on YouTube for the last year.
