This week's Video is a little peek at day 1 of the 1st Western Warrior Boot Camp Head-to-Head Team Sledge Challenge.
No sandbaggin' here. You have no idea what they went thru before this task, and they had no idea what was coming up over the next 36 hours.
Glorious 2-days!
If you want to join us for some madness, we'll be doing Western Warrior Boot #2 August 27 & 28.
And Brother Kris Iatskevich and I are cooking up one up Canada way.
Details to come on both of these in the near future!
This week's feature article is a short historical look at an event that featured not just one of the greats of early boxing's bare-knuckle period, Jem Mace, but also an appearance by Joseph Charlemont, the man who is to boxe francaise what the Marquis of Queensbury is to boxing.
And this week's Special is a deal on our just released Paladin DVDThe Submission Prism, see the last block for details. This week's Video Clip is a tip on square-foot placement post-snap-down, mighty vital, Crew! Big thanks to Dan Marx for letting me slap him in the noggin'. BTW-Me, Dan, Kylie and the Crew will be at Karate College in Radford VA this year. Gonna be another blast at this fine event!

Charlemont & the Queen
What the Marquis of Queensbury was to English boxing, Joseph Charlemont was to boxe francaise (an off-shoot of savate). His renown was so great in the 19th century that he performed an exhibition match in 1887 in London in honor Queen Victoria's Jubilee celebration. This demonstration was part of a fighting arts demonstration that included several notable English boxers. The journal The Sporting Life reported it as 'A Jubilee Assault at Arms.'
"Last evening a select and aristocratic company, including Lord Aylesford, several ladies, and prominent members of the theatrical and musical profession, assembled at St. James' Hall, to witness a very excellent exhibition of boxing and various athletic exercises under the management of Mr. J. Fleming, with Jack Harper and Bob Habbijam as M.C.'s. The entertainment was quite in keeping with the respective reputations of the performers, notably veteran Jem Mace, and Lees, the champion of Australia, who gave an admirable exposition of the art without fear or favour. The feats by the St. James' Athletic members, and Fred Badon were also duly appreciated, likewise the Parisian kickers armed with gloves, both of whom created great enthusiasm and laughter. They were recalled."
Mace, Lees, and Charlemont at work under one roof in one evening. Looved to have seen that.
