A
violent fitness DVD launched last week by a former Ultimate Fighter, The Grill-Spit-And-Bruiseinator,
known as Greg Thomas outside the Octagon, has been widely criticized by the two
health experts we bothered to contact for a comment.
The
DVD, "Ultimate Fightness", uses some of the more dangerous Ultimate
Fighting moves in one of the latest fitness DVD's to hit the supermarket shelves.
The
workout uses popular Ultimate Fighting moves, such as the rear naked choke
(strangulation from behind), the guillotine (where you grab someone's neck
from the front by climbing on top of their shoulders and then try to pull their
head off until they submit) and the armbar (bend someone's arm against
the elbow join until it snaps, or they submit).
Thomas
told this webpaper:
"This
workout is perfectly safe as long as all workout partners are aware of the dangers
involved and don't actually want to kill or maim each other in the first place."
"Everyone
doing the Ultimate Fightness DVD should ensure that their workout partners
can hear properly, speak English, and aren't sado masochists who like to inflict
pain and especially get turned on if you shout out in agony, but that's true for
most things in life."
At
the time of going to press the workout has been banned in all US penetentiaries,
and prisons in the UK.

Other
unsuccessful workout DVD's based on sports include:
The
rugby workout (too much sticking your head between fat men's thighs for most people).
The
Badminiton workout (worked out the wrist wonderfully but not much else)
The
full contact boxing workout (current death count 234).
