    easy day forms w/ 10 lbs weights ankles and wrists. slow, low, and good form.

    My dad decided today, at fifty years old, he wanted to start learning kung fu. It's a little different, a son teaching his father. But oh well, I'm glad that he's getting into training. I started teaching him our basic stationary form (all hand techniques). I don't think I'm going to worry to much about stance training. I'm just going to teach him some basic kung fu forms, some chi kung, and eventually yangs tai chi.

    Yeah, I have a job and I go to college. It's all about time management. Like I said in an earlier post, I consider the martial arts a lifestyle not just a hobbie. I break up my training throughout the day. Usually, I either do my kung fu training in the morning or in the evening before bed, depending on the day. I hit the gym everyday and my classes are located at the same gym where I weight train etc. I don't go out and I don't really drink. Basically, my life is comprised of school, work, martial arts, and more importantly my wife.

    Scott,
    No, I can't make it out there. If all goes well I'll be competing in a toughman contest out here in January. Good luck man.

    I've been really busy lately and I haven't had much time to post. I'm still training hard and taking care of business, as usual. I'm going to be hosting an Iron Vest seminar in the near future. If anyone is interested please contact me via PM.

    I haven't posted to this in a while. I'm still traning hard ( seven days a week) and I started teaching classes again (three days a week). Getting ready to cycle iron vest training into my schedule again (the small body). 100 days of hard training while abstaining from sex, alcohol, nicotine, sugar, salt, and acidic foods.

    I really haven't had much time to keep up on my log lately. It's the end of the semester and I'm busy w/ school and work. I start teaching again tomorrow (CMA). I also cycled into my next training today. I'll be doing the Iron Vest training (Iron Jacket, Small Body) along w/ iron palm (as I always do). I'm still doing the same training split mon, wed, fri, (and sometime sat and/or sun) run 2-4 miles, and tues, thurs, & sat weight training (tues- chest, shoulders and tris/ thurs- back, biceps and traps/ sat- legs). My wife and I are expecting our baby in the beginning of may so I'm going to fast from february to may. (I usually start on Jan. 1 and I go for 100 days). When I say fasting what I mean is I abstain from caffeine, nicotine, sugar, salt, alcohol, (including anything processesd or that contains ingredients I can barely pronounce), acidic foods (ie. tomatoes, and citrus) and sex/ sexual release. This may sound strange to not eat citrus (they are a good source of vitamin C etc. but so are other non-acidic foods) and tomatoes contain all-important lycopene (so does watermelon and I can eat that). The reason behind staying away from acidic foods is to put your body in a more alkaline state. Some (Chinese and Western medical practicioners) believe that when the body is more alkaline you are less likely to suffer from sickness and disease. The opposite is true if your body is in a more acidic state. The reason for abstaining from sex is because some believe that when you have release you expel chi and by retaining this you also heal faster. Either way, the only thing that I can say for sure is that I feel great about two weeks into fasting and from there on out. During the first two weeks I sometimes experience headaches and sometimes I feel slightly sick. This is because of all of the toxins that have built up in my body over the year.
