Martial Arts has its dark side as well as its light side. Todd Joseph (Joe) Krantz, gym and mma club operator lived in the dark side. Today the local news reports that “A well-known gangster from the Independent Soldiers who ran an extreme fighting club here was shot to death late Monday as he left his Clearbrook Road gym.” He also had weapons and drug charges. Seems like the gangs out there have developed a taste for fighting, except that with gang, weapons and drug involvement, these mma fights are nothing more than glorified human cockfights. The report goes on to describe the pile of firearms, ammunition, weaopons, drugs, found in his house, as well as the turf war between two gangs, the Independent Soldiers and the UN, who have been working to establish a foothold in Kelowna. Nothing spells trouble like gangs, drugs, weaopons, fights, and murder.
