Celebrities. What do they know? Do they know things?
Yes, it turns out. Some of them, mostly kinda secretly, know how to fight.
Some of these semi-secret fighters include science man Neil deGrasse Tyson, street fightin’ man Mick Jagger and dancer in the dark Courteney Cox.

Training with your significant other can be helpful.
There’s mounting anecdotal evidence that there are benefits to be had if you train in the same sport as your significant other.
Your partner will better understand the physical, mental and technical commitments it requires to pursue an activity, and that’s a tremendous boost.
Sarah identified a number of martial arts-related couples who make good examples of this idea.

Floyd Mayweather versus Conor McGregor
In what will likely be the most lopsided inter-disciplinary fight since mixed martial artist Randy Couture erased boxer James Toney in an MMA fight in 2010, martial arts loudmouth Conor McGregor is going to take on detestable human/very elite pugilist Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match.
The only good things to come out of this fight are the following:
a) It will help identify which friends of yours are suckers who’d willing pay money to watch this.
b) One of these two — McGregor — is going to get well beaten up.

Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee is well known as probably the greatest film-based martial artist to ever grace the silver screen.
That said, there’s shockingly little evidence of Lee taking part in real fighting — sparring, combat, that sort of thing.
Some old film of Lee in action recently surfaced and it proved one thing — Lee was indeed legit.
