Well, continuing on my program of adding 5 lbs. a week to the bar, I deadlifted (conventional) 100 lbs., 2 sets of five, yesterday (at bodyweight of approximately 140lbs). This month my mission is checking out all the good MA schools around and then jumping in to 1 (or 2) classes at months end. This week I checked out shinkendo and ki aikido, both very cool. The aikido is fascinating with a profound philosophy behind it and the shinkendo is very warrior/samurai like in spirit. Next up are krav maga, mastubayashi shorin ryu,....

Good to see you again, Iron. The forum ain't the same when you're gone.

What have you been doing while you've been away?

HA! The title of this post has sparked my failing memory!

I don't know if anyone is old enough to remember commercials for a product called Hi Karate Aftershave!:D

They were on TV when I was a kid. It showed a guy using the aftershave then having to use Karate to fight off the women! Of course detailed Karate instructions were included with each bottle!:p

BoulderDawg -- I remember those ads -- though the product was "Hai Karate".
This will take you down memory lane -- one of their old commercials:

back at kickboxing as of friday. gonna shoot for 1 or 2 times a week.
last few weeks have been fun enough to kinda snap me out of my little downward spiral- or at least put me on enough of an upswing to make some major headway.
going back to okinawa april 20th.

I'm training to run a marathon in June and I attend BJJ school 2 or 3 times a week.

Going to the park today at lunch to practice some kung fu forms. If I can remember any of them that is.

Lemme get ya started:

Punch, punch, stick your right palm above your head and kick it. Land in cat stance, snake fist fwd, front roll and land in a splits. That's pretty much how most KF forms go. :D

Thanks, I left out the forward roll because there was goose poop freakin' everywhere.

Hi IronFist,

Are you still brick solid or did you let it all go?

lol, I'm still the same as always (skinny and trying to add weight).

I was unemployed for a while but then I got a new job and things are going better. However, my work uses a strict firewall = no KFM at work. And I have a 1-1.5 hour commute each way so when I get home I'm tired.

I'm trying to get back into lifting as seriously as I did before. Right now I'm probably 160-165 @ 11% bf. So, pretty much the same as always (just a bit weaker now, lol).

I've found a bjj school I might be able to start training with on weekends. That makes me happy cuz everything over here is a McDojo or cardio kick boxing.

But other than that, I'm busy as hell and I hardly feel like I have time for anything anymore. I need to go get dinner now. I'll try to stop around here more often now.
