It’s time for a look at the weird, wild, wacky side of martial arts. First is the above clip of a XARM (Xtreme Arm Wrestling) match, where two competitors have their hands taped together, then proceed to beat each other senseless. I think the goal is still to pin your opponent’s arm on the table, but as you’ll see, that’s not quite how it plays out. The saddest part is that one of the dudes behind this spectacle is Art Davie, one of the co-creators of the UFC. Christ, even Bob Meyrowitz laughs at this guy. I feel bad for those XARM’ers wrists. And their mothers, of course.

Meet Craig and Paul Pumphrey, stars of G4′s upcoming series Human Wrecking Balls. Both are members of the International Karate and Kickboxing Hall of Fame, and both enjoy breaking shit with their bare hands. My favorite part of this promo clip is 0:36-0:39, where the dude just straight-up runs through a wall. I thought that only happened in Kool-Aid commercials. Oh yeah!

Finally, here’s a video of a monkey doing push-ups, sit-ups, and breaking boards. You either want to see that or you don’t. But the tiny headgear that the monkey wears? OMFG PRESH.

I cant believe this video is not all over the internet and tv!!!
So these guys are "Professionals" for doing crap that every drunk frat boy ever did in College. Smashing walls, breaking car windows, punching glass, kicking in car doors...seems like my college days except I was drunk as hell which they might be too but I didn't see it on any of the disclaimers.
The Karate monkey kicks ass!!!
XARM is..well....stupid? Not sure if that single work can cover it but it's good enough :-(
I'd also like to put out a call to any willing and able moneky karatekas and monkey boxers to come dethrone this self proclaimed champion.
As for XARM...I am still not sure if it's brilliant or down right stupid. I can't place my finger on it but it could be cool because using the table for some sort of arm bar is there but the flailing around punching and even an occasion knee has me confused. What would prevent someone from pulling you over the table deliverance style and pounding your face with a hammer fist.
"You either want to see that or you don’t. But the tiny headgear that the monkey wears? OMFG PRESH."
Dude I hope your a chick...."OMFG PRESH"? Come on MAN!!!
Could have gone with dope, awesome, cool, even phat.... but PRESH?
So if I ever ran into that monkey, I'd have to refer to him as "sensei"?
Hmmm...maybe there was more to those Planet of the Apes movies than I previously thought...
Xtreme Arm Wrestling, but instead of humans, WE USE MONKEYS!
...brilliant, or what
