Abraham Lincoln, street fighter
Perhaps inspired by the face we’ve been casually rewatching Clone High here in the Risky Fuel HQ, Sarah recently wrote a piece about the surprising street fighting history of former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
Apparently Lincoln wasn’t afraid to throw down to prove a point. Which is perhaps a good reminder of what used to be when we have to look at what we have right now.

Gandi
What started out as mostly an excuse to talk about the cartoon Clone High turn into an interesting lookback when Sarah wrote about Gandhi’s relationship to martial arts for Fightland.
For a pacifist, Gandhi had at least an observer’s understanding of early jiu jitsu.
What he learned from it, though, was perhaps more political than physical.
