I couldn't believe the stupidity, and I have taught a combat sport for years.

@GoshisDead,
It doesn't seem to me that arm pins are really part of the sport.

Oh what fun!
Tie me to someone then beat the crap out of each other till someone is unconcious.

Now theres a handy life skill.

I don't know, as a metaphor for all human conflict, it works pretty well.

I teach the original combat sport, Judo. But even in MMA, even though there are so many who just find it unnecessarily barbaric, there is a sense of beauty and budo. There is an essence of humanity at its raw center. But with this I don't get it. Maybe Stallone in Over The Top ruined it for me. I know it ruined trucker hats for me long before Ashton Kutcher ever did.

@gungasnake,
These aren't volunteers, they are getting paid. I suppose if the pay was high enough, I might sign up myself.
