While honorable men were not supposed to ignore the shield during
their strikes, the Icelander Egil Skallagrimson ignored such niceties.
Thus,
his opponents were likely to lose their legs to his sword Dragvendil
("Leg-Biter"),
or be thrown to the ground, where they would be choked or
bitten to death."
So once caught in a mounted position, I assume the main target is the head for a knockout. That was one brutal attack, Joe. You must have punched that guy in the head at least 25 plus times. How can you guys take that kind of attack. You can't condition the head like the rest of the body....look at Ali after years of being hit in the head.
Likewise for the "supermen" of China - what do they have to gain by coming over here and fighting in NHB? Do you think they really would see any value in it from their cultural prospective?
I believe they would be involved in Pride (Japanese counterpart to UFC) if they were not worried about tarnishing their reputation and fear of defeat. I think actions speak louder than words, and when I see one of these "supermen" come out and start beating everyone, Ill eat those words. There is no such thing as a secret art.
It began, according to testimony from one of her attackers, with shouts -- ''Are you a man or a woman?'' -- and progressed to clumsy grabs at her genitals to get the answer: Araujo, 17, was born male but lived as a girl.
What followed for about three hours was a beating, strangulation, and then two hits to the head with a shovel, though Araujo may already have been dead, said defendant Jaron Nabors.
That first night, Nabors said he was struck by the thought that Araujo might be male, but he along with everyone else laughed off the suggestion.
But Merel and Magidson's suspicions grew.
Chaos broke out in the early morning hours of Oct. 4 after Araujo's biological identity was revealed.
Araujo begged for mercy, crying: ''No, please don't. I have a family,'' but was punched and hit in the head with a skillet, Nabors said.
He said he
and Cazares left for 20 minutes to get shovels and when they returned Araujo was sitting on the couch, her face covered in blood. Later, he said, her bound body was carried into the garage.
Nabors said Merel and Magidson did most of the beating but he prevented Araujo from leaving the house.
He said he saw Magidson pulling a rope toward Araujo's neck, and he said Cazares hit Araujo twice in the head with a shovel after she had been tied up and strangled.
The four then drove Araujo's body 150 miles east to the Sierra foothills, where they buried her in a shallow grave, Nabors said.
Back home, the four agreed to tell no one, but Nabors called a friend and told him about the events of the night.
Eventually, the story reached police, who contacted Nabors. In mid-October, police said, Nabors led them to Araujo's body.
One of the defendants, Merel, told the San Jose Mercury News in December that he did not kill Araujo, but he said he had gotten angry when he learned Araujo was biologically male.
Gregory Herek, a University of California, Davis, psychology professor,
said some young men, are ''intensely worried about making sure that everyone knows they are masculine and that they are heterosexual, and if an event happens that threatens to make them appear otherwise, they react to that with great emotion.''
Listening to testimony about the long night of Araujo's death has been hard for her family, said David Guerrero, Araujo's uncle.
''It seems when you've heard the worst,'' he said, ''you hear more.''
Condition the brain to continue on with goal in these types of environments should ones senses be deprived for whatever reason.
A thought that has been nagging me for a while, Van, is for you to get a couple of ex-con street fighters to conduct a seminar at summer camp.
