    I find this highly amusing.

    I’m envisioning Marriott executives and NIH researchers going at each other in a giant Thunderdome-style arena. Winner plays either Lockheed or the Congressional Country Club. Clearly it would feature a pun on the town’s name — “There’s no Mercy in the House of Mercy!”

    Bethesda is very definitely on my list of American cities least associated with the activity of kickboxing.

    Bethesda. Provo. Bar Harbor. Boca Raton. Taos. Muncie. Savannah. Lynchburg. Yonkers. Branson. St. Paul. Eugene. Gatlinburg. Breckenridge. Sioux Falls. Colonial Williamsburg. Stowe. These are in my mind the “least kickboxing-est” places in America.

    Crimson05er: Yet what does it say about Bethesda that every few yards there’s a just-opened gym specializing in new and more elaborate forms of combat? And that next door to each of these places is a yoga studio with a soft music/health food restaurant?
