- STRIKEFORCE: Heavy Artillery Review-Jon Delbrugge- In today’s mainstream MMA we have an oversaturation of the blood splattering, lightning bolt, tribal tattoo designed logo appeal to it. I like how Strikeforce is trying something different they are going for the complete opposite. Saturday night’s Heavy Artillery card had different audiences, different fighters, different TV deals.

- Running a Large Martial Arts School vs. a Small OneI’ve had the opportunity to be a student at “small” academies that grew into big ones and also have had the good fortune of watching my own Howard County Martial Arts academy develop into a “big” school as well.

Early this morning, following the earthquake that hit Okinawa, and the tsunami warning was called off. An 8.8 earthquake hit the coast of Chile causing Tsunami warnings for the entire Pacific Basin. As of 10 am, they said 82 people have been killed so far and the death polls are likely to rise. But the earthquake didn’t stop there, it had several of aftershocks, including one of magnitude 6.9. Millions of people were feeling this terrible earthquake that was said to have lasted a good 45.secs -1 min. It has not yet been determined how much damage was actually done to those on the Coast of Chile. And this is not the only earthquake to hit Chile, the last one that hit was sometime in the 60’s and it was the largest earthquake ever recorded.
With the earthquake that hit, it sent tsunami warnings toward Hawaii! Warnings sirens have already gone off in Hawaii and everyone is trying to get to higher grounds. They were told to pack food for 5-7 days. At some grocery stores, managers and employees were almost to the point that they were going to put signs up limiting people from buying all the food. Hopefully nothing major will happen, they have 5 hours to evacuate. Although, they could be hit with some of the biggest waves since 1964.
The last major earthquake that occurred was when a 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti. Completely wiping out Port-Au-Prince and taking the lives of thousands of people, and millions homeless and with no food. Such a tragedy and a sad thing to watch.
For now I am off to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I am keeping a close eye on what’s going on in Hawaii.
