TapouT XT
Another long-ass time since my last post. I just got this new workout program called TapouT XT. It's MMA based. I'm on day 4, which is Legs and Back. So, what I've done so far is cross core combat, strength and force upper, ultimate abs, plyo xt and yoga xt. Hella challenging! My legs are still sore from plyo xt, but I'm still going to do legs and ( Read more... ) -

Training is my life!

Strength and plyometrics every other day.

Forms everyday.
We'll drill technique and make each one perfect with timing and distance.

I wonder if loyalty and courage exist outside of Washington and Oregon. I've been to Washington, Oregon, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Arizona (for longer than a few days, many more states before I can remember and only for a short time).

Sunday, April 4th
I got off from work today for easter. :D
Tomorrow, I'm going to the dojo. I missed both required classes last week, no thanks to a cold, so I have to make them up this week. I think I'm going to test soon for Kyuki-Do (like Karate mixed with Judo and Jujutsu). I know I've still got a couple of months left for Haidong Gumdo (like Kendo) and Judo. I ( Read more... ) -

Brown- respect, aggressiveness, creed, pledges
Red- self defense techniques
Next test, which will hopefully be soon, will be white with yellow in ( Read more... ) -

I practiced with the focus pads yesterday with Katelynn, a friend of mine. Now, I'm sore! ^_^ It really is cleansing to punch something other than air. :) I've also been carrying the furniture and garbage down the stairs and to the dumpster, so that's a good workout too. No wonder I haven't felt like going to the Y! On Sunday, I'm going to teach ( Read more... ) -
