The late Elvis Presley had a not-so-secret obsession with martial arts.

A lot of that had to do with The King’s relationship to kenpo master Ed Parker.

Sarah explored a bit of this in a post for Asian World of Martial Arts.

Dada 5000, An Artful Urinal And Bellator 149

One of the marquee matchups on the Bellator 149 card this past weekend was a brawl between actual street fighters Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000.

The fight was more trainwreck than martial art with Dada 5000 collapsing  due to exhaustion in an elaborate spin out of physical comedy that nearly became tragic when his heart temporarily stopped.

Sarah, ever mindful of the clear connections between early 20th century art movements and idealized martial arts suggested that this fight was to MMA what Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain was to art almost a century ago.
