As some know, I've been taking Muay Thai kickboxing for over a decade as a way to rehab my knee and keep it loose. In the past six months, I've been training at LA Boxing to learn MMA style fighting techniques and improve my ground game. Today, I had my first sparring match in 8 years. It was a safe match, with headgear and optional rib guards (which we opted out of). While it was not pretty, I did manage to win. It was better than I expected, because my win came via submission. I'm more of a stand up striker, so this was pretty cool. I got my oponent in a kimura and he tapped out (no, he was not a little kid either). Hard to explain a kimura, so here's a video of the technique. I did not do the flip because I am not that advanced. I locked it in from the guard position.

How much would you bet?
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
