Pillow Fighting Pro
Steve Williams is the CEO of the “Pillow Fighting Championship.” Yes, it is a real thing. Mixed martial arts fighters and boxers have flocked to the Delray Beach Boxing and Fitness Club which has become home to the first organized league. The organized sport has a full-on ring, fight judges, a referee, an emcee, ring girls (and boys), packed crowds, and is livestreaming to a dedicated audience hooked on watching pro fighters explore this new discipline. “This has all the excitement of a mixed martial arts fight with none of the blood loss. You definitely feel it when you get hit.” Fighters use his patent pending 2.4-pound, queen size, rip-proof nylon pillow design, a trademark that features three holster straps for “more leverage. We converted a standard pillow to a combat pillow and the fighters and fans love the intensity.” And as it turns out, many of those professional brawlers are making the case that this new “combative sport” serves as great training for their own MMA bouts. About half of the PFC’s field is also amateur contestants, like 41-year-old Emily Rubens, an infant sleep specialist now hooked on pillow fighting. Rubens said she got in the ring on the recommendation of a friend — and had not only the time of her life but a great workout as well. “I couldn’t move for two days after. It wasn’t as silly as I thought, this was real fighting,” Rubens told The Post of her three-round bout, where she “kicked ass” against a fellow amateur.
Pillow talking humor
Memory foam pillows are the worst: As soon as I lay down on them, I start remembering all the things I messed up during the day.
I fell asleep with my iPhone under my pillow last night and when I woke up, it was gone and replaced with a shiny new silver dollar…
Damn that Blue-Tooth Fairy!
My wife told me I was immature…
So I told her to get out of my pillow fort.
Have you heard the news?
Corduroy pillows are making headlines.
