This makes perfect sens...Hey Richard,<BR/><BR/>Awesome post. This makes perfect sense to me. I have been reading a bunch of evolutionary biology lately and this falls in line with their findings. Many times the natural selection is more based on competition between members of a species rather than hunting or preventing being hunted. There are apparently far more events related to fighting over territory, mates, and food than events related to running from prey, etc. It makes sense that we could have evolved to be good at fighting one another as that would have been selected at each progressive generation.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we do need to get Tom to get a wrestling mat. I doubt he would let us fight with sticks or worse, swords. I think we might want to go over to the utility path where I run sprints and throw stuff as well! I saw a recent post from Mark Sisson on this as well. You might want to check this out:<BR/><BR/>http://www.marksdailyapple.com/clubbells/<BR/>Clubbells sound like a weapon, right?<BR/><BR/>Also Krav Maga is a martial art/fitness thing as well. I stumbled upon a book at the local Borders. Maybe we could get some ideas there as well.<BR/><BR/>Good thinking on this one. Maybe we could call this "Combat Fitness". :-)Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704929106479058019noreply@blogger.com
