The sport pankration was a mix of wrestling and boxing it was considered to be one of the toughest sports involved in the Olympics. In this sport punches were allowed to be thrown but the fighters did not wrap their hands with protective tape or padding known as himantes. Many Greek thinkers think the sport was created by Theseus when he defeated a Minotaur in the labyrinth. Certain rules that were outlawed back at the start of Pankration were no biting or gouging out an opponent’s eyes, nose, mouth

The book “The Nazi Hunters” by Neal Bascomb is a real story of brave Mossad agents who tracked down a Nazi commander with a tip from a Jewish teenager. This takedown materialized over the span of many years because of disbelief that this once righteous man had succumbed to living in slums and the fact that this "Ricardo Klement" looked much older than Eichmann. The surveillance itself lasted weeks with many different

On May 3, Jubilee, Justus and I will be traveling to Korea for three weeks, in handcuffs. Ever since I broke the news, Justus has been proselytizing to his classmates about having fun in Korea -- theme parks, toy shopping, and the whole shebang. His enthusiasm has prompted his teacher to plan a farewell party for him, taking the opportunity to educate the class on the Korean culture and society. I am equally elated about the trip, especially the prospect of trying different types of deliriously

When March 5th finally arrived we had a lot of preparations to tend to. We were pretty sure the Mack’s would leave at night, they told Alex they had a family birthday party to go to. Unlike past Fight Nights no invitations were sent out, everyone was invited. We posted Alex’s address on all forms of social media that morning. I then went to Alex’s in the middle of the afternoon to help him set up for the night. We moved couches, and set up the basement for optimal viewing. Now all we had to do was

Mr. Haller the main character seems to be the best, a fast tracked "criminal" lawyer who cuts deals with criminals because he's more than just one. His witty responses and assertiveness allows him to be furtive and agile in his court proceedings. But like many lawyers, it seems as though he's more worried about his money rather than his actions, until one particular case. f n what was considered to be a "homerun" for Mr. Haller, slowly turns into a nightmare. The alleged defendant is what many would

It was 6:00 pm, February 10th, 2016. A freshman had just won his last match, crowning himself Arrowhead League Champion. I was that freshman, and that day I realized wrestling was more than just a sport, it was a way of life. Wrestling tracks back about fifteen thousand years and is one of the oldest form of fighting. Wrestling made a first appearance in the 1986 Olympics. At the time it was mainly just fighting but it had evolved and had rules added over the years. Wrestling has changed but the

years experience on me. I made a personal goal to score at least one point during the match. After being taken down, I kept forcing my way back up. The other kid ended up returning me 3 times before managed I slipped away. I charged back in for a takedown and accidentally gave up an underhook which got me pinned. After that I felt disappointed due to my careless mistake, but glad because I had gotten that one

other out from under me. The single-leg takedown was one of the many moves he had mastered that year. Winded, my body moved more out of instinct than conscious thought. I immediately rolled to my belly, based up and then threw myself into a somersault across my right shoulder, also known as a Granby roll. Peyton floundered after me as I stood, turned, and took a reaction shot with the speed of lightning. As I lifted him into the air in a double-leg takedown, it was his turn to feel the pain of the

I love podcasts. I LOVE PODCATS. I currently subscribe to twenty-six of varying types and formats. They range from serious and academic to silly and casual. On the more intellectual side I listen to: Freakonomics Radio, Stuff You Missed in History Class, This American Life, as well as news and politics podcasts such as NPR’s Politics Podcast and KCRW’s Left, Right and Center. On the opposite end of the spectrum I listen to: The Mortified Podcast (different individuals reading their childhood journals
