Veterans Day At TheMartialArtsReporter.com

Today, November 11, is Veterans Day which is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans.

It was declared an official holiday in 1919. One year after the end of World War I.

The original idea was to dedicate a day to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day’.

Veterans Day was originally proclaimed to honor those who served in WWI. Later it was established to honor all who have served in the military.

Today, TheMartialArtsReporter.com joins in by honoring all military veterans and especially all martial artists who currently serve and who have served such as Dan Inosanto, Larry Hartsell, Joe Lewis, Chuck Norris, Randy Couture, Frank Cucci, …..

Thank you for your service!

Will Hershel Walker Really Fight For Strikeforce MMA?

As a running back playing for the Georgia Bulldogs, Herschel Walker,
won a coveted Heisman Trophy.

Even today, about 20 years later, Walker is still considered by many
in the college football fan community the best running back ever.
Except maybe by Tennessee fans.

Watch this short video to understand or remember why:

As a first-pick draft, Walker went on to play in the NFL for the Minnesota
Vikings and Dallas Cowboys. He retired from football in 1997.

Strikeforce recently signed a contract with the now 47-year-old Walker.
Supposedly, as a college student Walker used to train and compete as
a martial artist for several years.

Walker has been a MMA fan for years, but at the age of 47, does he
really have what it takes to compete with Strikeforce fighters?

And comparing him (because of his age) with 46-year-old UFC legend,
Hall of Famer and former world heavyweight champion Randy Couture,
come on, give me a break.

Is Strikeforce really serious about this contract or are they just giving
people like us something to talk about?

And if they are serious, can Hershel Walker really bring it or is he just
offering great inspiration for guys over 40?
