A boxing glove wreath
Everyone knows ninjas are notoriously difficult to buy for.
Their throwing stars need to be the right weight, their footwear needs to be that perfect combination of utilitarian and cool, their swords need to have a certain taper…
It’s a good thing Sarah has these secretive people covered as she wrote up a very related gift guide over at Asian World Of Martial Arts.

Roddy Piper in holiday mode
The late, great pro wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper once sang his own unique take on “The 12 Days Of Christmas.”
As mostly non-Christmas music people around here, it takes something like this to break through our traditional anti-holiday music wall.
Sarah ended up writing about the song for Fightland.

Creed
One of the pleasant surprises from the world of film this year was the entirely credible reboot of the Rocky franchise with the film Creed.

Members of the Wu-Tang Clan with Bill Murray.
By now everybody knows about the Wu-Tang Clan selling their single-copy album The Wu-Once Upon A Time In Shaolin to the seventh most hated person on the planet, pharmacology exploiter Martin Shkreli.
And by now most people know there was a (false) rumour going around that the Wu had it written into their sales contract that that were legally permitted one “caper” where Bull Murray would join them and they could attempt to steal the album back.
As sad as we are knowing this will probably never happen, Sarah took the time to assess the various Wu members’ martial arts skills to judge whether or not they actually could pull off such a caper.
