I used to practice kick boxing and aikido. I also used to do SCA and a full contact boffer LARP. Lately I just don’t have the time, but I have been watching knight fight and contemplating going full contact steel in the combat league of America, I think start up costs are prohibitive for a test run. It’s not like when I did kendo and fencing and could borrow or get a loaner set or possibly rent.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

To the death?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

I fight with my wife sometimes. That counts, right?

In my college years yup . I was part of the Ottawa National Capital Wrestling Club . But I'm way to old to grapple now and my backs not into it anymore .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Combat sports?
Is that when you sneak up on your neighbours on a moonless night with a knife?
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
