Whenever I put The Week In Review together, I become aware how fast time flies by.

Let’s enjoy the limited time we have here and make a difference in somebody’s life.

Hard to believe, but true: Ultimate Fighting Championship Is Gearing Up for their 111th event!

Did you know that UFC1 took place over 15 years ago? On November 12, 1993 and the overall winner was BJJ legend, Royce Gracie.

Fast-forward to March 2010: UFC 111 Main event GSP Vs. Dan Hardy. This will be the Welterweight title fight between “The Perfect Fighter” from Canada and “The Outlaw” from Great Britain.

Let’s foil attacks on girls and women and teach bad boys a lesson! Urgent appeal to girls and women: Learn Self-Defense!

This is one of my all-time favorites: Check it out now! Reminder: Italian Female Karate Champion Defeats Mugger.

Alright, so you got all the moves, but … Do You Really Have A Combat Mindset and Do You Really Have A Combat Mindset – concluded?

Scottish Warrior Wins 5 Oscars

Do you know who I’m talking about?

You got it.

The Scottish warrior, William Wallace, depicted in the movie Braveheart.

In 1995, Mel Gibson’s epic/drama film, which he produced and directed as well as starred in, was nominated for a total of 10 Oscars.

The movie did pretty well and actually won 5 Academy Awards, including one for Best Picture and Best Director.

Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a Scottish warrior, who became a force to reckon with, during the First War of Scottish Independence from England around 1300 by opposing King Edward I of England.

After Wallace’s execution, the Scots eventually gain independence in 1314. The movie did a rather good job of showing the long and yet determined struggle to attain freedom all packed in 175 minutes.

At the end of this epic movie you too will be shouting, “F-R-E-E-E-E-E-D-O-M!”
