Why the Violent/Action label?

Adan here,

I have a love/hate relationship with violence. I have witnessed and taken part in more violence than a 24 year old male from Arlington, TX should have. Some intentionally some not so. I've managed to do so without a criminal record or all that much criminal activity for that matter. There is something strangely arresting about being caught up in the act of violence. I like Dictionary.com's sixth def. It doesn't past judgment like many of the other defs. Let me back up a bit. I don't condone violence in any form. I'm especially hateful of guns. I'm experienced in various martial arts, most importantly submission fighting. I've worked for two years in a city jail. One of those years I spent as a part-time supervisor in charge of an 8 man crew responsible for the housing and safekeeping of 40 to 100 inmates at any given time some with felonious records and some who just couldn't pay their speeding ticket. I spent two years training under Travis Lutter who just won his first UFC match. I took 3rd place in the advance division of my first and only submission wrestling tournament. I spent 3 years training amateur wrestling in high school and became a state-quarter finalist before succumbing to a knee injury. I've been held at gunpoint more than once (never would having a gun available have helped). I've watched a family fall apart from domestic violence. In other words I'm no stranger to... There is something very alive in me that loves the idea of imposing my will and control over another person through physical and psychological means. Quite frankly the act of violence is very, very enjoyable to me. However on the other hand I can not stand the idea of causing another person pain or hurting someone other than me. I feel crosswired in this. This is what I hope to explore with BEP. I wish to expose the beauty in violence as I see it along with the very horrible consequences. Not judging, merely presenting and hopefully learning and coming to understand.

So we are a Violent/Action label because BEP will be exposing violence through action. There will be hopefully very cool and interesting things going on visually but not without presenting the reality, of this both grotesque and beautiful human constant. There will be (once again) hopefully spectacular stunts but they shall be used sparingly for both safety and (realistic) dramatic reasons.
