It would be too much to suppose that anyone at Crooked Timber has actually watched MMA or the UFC, but do you not realize how discredited TKD is as an effective fighting form?

Your time would be much better spent learning brazilian jiujitsu or groundfighting!

It’s the first part of a proof by induction of the infinite divisibility of natural objects. More showy than elegant, but certainly no handwaving!

Chapeau! Sometimes I wish that, like dKos, there was a CT recommend function for comments.

This is actually just the composite object consisting of two board pieces and Laurie’s foot breaking itself, which isn’t really as impressive.

That reminds me of a few grad seminars I’ve had.

So, is the whole family moving out to NC?

Now that’s what the APA needs: a main event! Laurie vs. Samuel Johnson, ten rounds.

Bend that support leg! And get that guard higher! Well, at least she doesn’t keep her hands at the waist, like the TKD olympic competitors. :)

Also, I think we should think up captions for it.

“Incredulous stare meets stupendous foot.”
“Detached board parts.”
