Samurai - Miyamoto Musashi Documentary ft Mark Dacascos
I remember watching this documentary nearly 3 years ago. Definitely a great documentary that tells of the story of Miyamoto Musashi - author, poet, strategist, and great Martial Artist. What truly made Musashi famous was the way he adopted a fighting system of knowing, distracting, or using his opponent's mistakes against him. He made for a rather powerful warrior because it didn't focus on his physical attribute but creating this great tactic of psychological warfare on the battlefield.

Build your metabolic rate with a great HCG regimen
One of the greatest things about finding out your body functions is knowing what sparks and doesn't spark your metabolism. For example, if you are a body builder, you'll know that you need to pack on pounds by eating well balanced proteins and carbs just to gain muscle. This happens to lower your HCG because your body's natural hormone will think it's storing the fat for a harsh winter. However, you can unleash this by eating meals that provide great nutrients but at the same time low calories so you are actively burning fat and increasing your metabolism.

Combine Martial Arts and unleashing your HCG into a nice fat burning program
HCG is a hormone within your body that stores your fat for when you need it. The problem is that too many people do not have the right eating or exercising habits to unleash this and make it active.

Eat some lean meals with low calories to help provide you with a program that will get you lean in no time.

With that being said, I'm absolutely amazed that this guy is slated to play Stryker in Mortal Kombat: Legacy. I was automatically said in my mind, "Stryker is a cop..how the hell is doing all of this crazy textbook and beyond textbook stuff?" This has me really excited for the craziness that will be Season 2 of Mortal Kombat Legacy. If you haven't seen season 1, you can view my Playstation blog. All the episodes are posted there.
