OK ninjabbers ... time for an other complete martial arts comment fail, something master Confuse-Us would be proud of; nay, scrap that, he would probably be sobbing silently.
Today's entry: "The judo kick"... Yes, you got that right. We all know about the famous (and totally lethal) judo chop. But a judo kick? I guess that's more like "toetally" lethal?
Anyhow, apparently gullible reporters from gacksports.com talks about the first time ever judo kick. Allegedly delivered during a soccer match in Brazil. Sure, we know that the sport of soccer is a full contact blood sport and all that, but a judo kick...? Quadruple wow!
In all fairness, the fantasy land reporters states: "It's not often that you see someone judo-kick someone in the back of the head". Spot on guys, spot on. Could it be because judo don't involve kicking? Just saying...

Capoeira Expert Jailed
UK -- A Plymouth court was told by a prosecutor how a married Brazilian capoeira "expert" passed a Plymouth woman in the street on New Year's Day and wished her a happy new year.
The prosecutor told how the defendant then turned and followed the young woman. He dragged the victim into a service lane and subjected her to a 20-minute horrific ordeal in which the victim was convinced the attacker was going to kill her, according to thisisplymouth.co.uk.
The woman was reportedly strangled, blindfolded, threatened with a knife and raped three times before the 23-year-old martial arts "expert" finally took off.
The court ended up sentencing the defendant to eight years in jail.

More Judo Politics
Politics ...
The reason why I'm content not to be bothered with official federations and the like. I like to train, teach and meet friends. The rest of it is one major pain in the butt as far as I'm concerned.
Brazil -- The UPJ (Pan an-American Judo Union) has reportedly sent a letter to the International Judo Federation. The letter accuses the two judo federations of Brazil and Uruguay of a plot to remove union heads from their posts before the end of their elected periods.
Effectively, the judo union threatens to ban judo in the two countries from the Olympics in China for trying to "remove its democratically elected leaders".

A Gracie Found Dead
Sao Paulo newspaper O Globo recently reported that 33-year-old MMA fighter Ryan Gracie was arrested for stealing a car, after mugging and hitting a 76-year-old man. According to the news article, Gracie soon after crashed the vehicle into a parking barrier.
Following his arrest, Gracie was taken to be tested for drugs and returned to prison about 3 a.m. He was left alone in his own cell, and at 7 a.m. the following morning he was found dead during a routine check.
It is not the first time Ryan Gracie has had trouble with the authorities, according to O Globo. Gracie was allegedly arrested in September 2006 for aggravated assault, making threats, and resisting arrest.

'Brasilly' judo
Brazil -- Two Brazilian judo directors have been kicked out of the Panamerican Games for their part in a brawl following a match.
The Brazilian Olympic Committee added that the pair would be banned from all official events for the next four years, including the 2011 Panam Games in Guadalajara.
Trouble erupted after Cuba's Sheila Espinosa beat Brazilian Erika Miranda to win the gold medal in the women's 52 kilo category on Sunday.
Members of both delegations became involved in a fight along with a television crew, while spectators threw cups of water and plastic seats into the arena.

Negative Positive Tests
According to the California State Athletic Commission, a MMA fighter has tested positive for Boldenone Metabolite and Stanozolol Metabolite. The fighter in question is Phil Baroni, who was choked out by Frank Shamrock in the main event of the Strike Force/Elite XC pay-per-view on June 22.
The event took place in San Jose, and Baroni was not the only fighter on the card to fail a drug test, as Carter Williams tested positive for cocaine.
These suspensions come on the heels of MMA legend Royce Gracie's suspension. The Brazilian tested positive for the steroid Nandrolone. He reportedly had 25 times the normal limit of Nandrolone in his body.

Found him hanging
A professional jujitsu fighter charged with trying to open a cabin door of a Dulles-bound airliner at 30,000 feet tried to commit suicide in his Leesburg jail cell, authorities said yesterday.
Carlos Alberto de Oliveira, 43, was taken to Central State Hospital in Petersburg after officials at the Loudoun County jail found him hanging in his cell Tuesday night, said Loudoun Public Defender Lorie E. O'Donnell.
The Brazilian national apparently became distraught after the court declined for a second time this week to hear his motion to enter into a plea agreement with prosecutors, O'Donnell said.

A 'Brasillyan'?
Seems this guy has lost more than a couple of matches...
Story:
A 43-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter who allegedly tried to open the emergency door on a cross-country flight may undergo a mental health evaluation after making incoherent statements Thursday during a court appearance.
The man spoke erratically in Portuguese during a brief hearing Thursday in Loudoun County General District Court. An interpreter was only able to convey some of de Oliveira's comments, which included multiple references to ransom and money.
Authorities said de Oliveira competes in jiu-jitsu competitions, and one of the passengers on the flight said de Oliveira was wearing jiu-jitsu patches and military-style clothing aboard the flight.

A martial arts black belt, Vivas himself then intervened and began hitting Monassa until he collapsed. He was rushed to the intensive care unit of a nearby hospital where he died of his injuries.

Female Jiu-Jitsu Chaplain
Sasebo chaplain Sunny Mitchell is a student of jiu-jitsu:
Q: What about you might surprise most people?
A: I love ballroom dancing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Q: How does studying a martial art fit with being a chaplain?
A: I’ve done it on and off for most of my adult life. I started fighting in the jiu-jitsu club in college after watching the first UFC. When I moved to Atlanta for graduate school, I started training with a well-respected Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor. While in seminary and the few chances I’ve had to train in Sasebo, I use the mat time to release the day’s frustrations.
Q: How has studying jiu-jitsu affected other areas of your life?
A: As a female, I’m more aware of safety situations. I try not to put myself in situations where I could subject myself to being harmed.
