Training People, Training Myself

I've been keeping myself busy training people and training myself.


Lifestyle and mindset have evolved in past few months. Recent updates:

1. Long cycle clean & jerk in Hard Style (absorbing with knees when racking from top) is a way to go if you are a striking martial artist. I do sense the movements of all LCCJ Hard Style resembles the punching movement. One trick is when you punch the kettlebell off from your rack to re-clean it, this looks exactly like the initial stage of punch.


2. Turkish Get Up, lots of them has transformed my body recently. However the fighting motor skills seemed to have reset as well. I need to reboot.


3. I personally am not good at doing splits like Pavel and Jon Engum. One of my client said doing a split is his life long dream. "It may not be that difficult" I taught him a few from Relax into Stretch. One of my student at class who's a Russian asked me about splits as well yesterday.


4. I am selling Gymboss interval timer. Nothing similar like this in Japan and it is 1,750 yen per unit. Only other interval timer which I am aware of in this country, is made by Seiko but has lots of other functions and costs roughly 7,000 yen. These days I use Gymboss over Seiko stop watch/interval timer. http://shop.kettlebell.jp/shopdetail/002001000001/price/


5. I contacted USAF Technical Sergeant Philip Davis to run a workshop in January before his tour else where. Likely this will happen in Tokyo. How about learning what it is about in United States military fitness training? http://www.dragondoor.com/articler/mode3/496/


6. Lots of kettlebells have reached Tokyo port.


7. CK-FMS certificate arrived after nearly couple months after being certified.

Life's filled with boredom if you seek no progress. Having a training habit guides me to progress and improve every day. There are occasions that I feel like a better person than few months ago. Something's working.

Sunday is basically boring and eats me alive these days. I need to be doing something.
