So, what's been going on here on the home front? Still training three days a week faithfully. I haven't suffered too many muscle spasms, maybe some in my hamstrings but I added in a number of stretches to fix that.
The news I bring is that next week, weather permitting, I will be going to kickboxing once a week at my very first martial arts school. It's a total training and conditioning program that I'll be doing once a week in preparation to return to martial arts officially at this school which I trained at for many many years. I'm excited and nervous because I know how hard this instructor pushes people, but I think I'm ready for it and will be kind to my injuries so as to not have to stop doing this.
In truth, I can't wait to hit other targets besides my 130 pound muay thai bag. Some of you know, especially my cousin out on the west coast, how much fun it is working with body shields and an assortment of hand targets. There's a certain amount of fluidity that's lost when working with a heavy bag.
Anyway - keep on keeping on. I will let you all know what happens and maybe one day will actually post pictures of this. maybe....
Human targets? LOL
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I love reading these updates.
Very proud of the Shanester! xox
Pork Chops! that was fun. I am glad to hear about your return to your first martial arts school. Good luck with all of your training, and before you know it, it will be spring!
ReplyDeleteYeah - Human targets. Haha.
ReplyDeletePork Chops!!! Dude - I almost wrote that and then realized only you would know what I was talking about. I'm psyched and nervous about going back there. That was my home for many years. I tried other schools during that time where I couldn't bring myself to be there. I don't think I was supposed to be there because I needed to grow. Growing is a pain in the ass. One thing I can safely say after working at a number of schools on the Island. This is the best school around and Master Robert is truly da bomb! Ask me if I'm thinking that when I'm cursing his training under my breath. This dude is off the wall and I'm curious to see if any of that changed, but I don't think so.
