Martial programming update

Aug 28, 2003 09:37

In preparation for my trip to Lap Dance Island I decided I should refresh my memory with my martial programs. So I tripped out to a local "traditional" school. Not bad. Some concerns about how they teach though - 75 kata ?!?!? Have to ask yourself why they need 75 when other older styles have anywhere from 3 (incredibly low) to 10 (average). ( Read more... )

still think you should try visiting HAMA and see if you like them... you might you know, they're good despite my somewhat bizarre experience w/ them (all my experiences are bizarre so it shouldn't signify)

I checked it out (it is a weird and uninformative web site) and shot them an email. Afraid I said you were one of their BJJ students (oops). We'll see what they come back with - it does rather look like yet another mix and match school. Kind of curious where they learned Savate...most Froggies don't know about Savate! But, I'm much more aware of what I am really looking for now, but I have a feeling I won't find it in this area with a decent club at reasonable prices.

oh, hey, want to go out to the Indian restaurant tomorrow night? if they have class tomorrow (my recollection is they did a friday night 7p? adult kick boxing class- all levels... no telling if I recall correctly or if it's changed or if it's a special holiday weekend though) you could stop by & watch or say 'hi' or something (you could prolly participate save for the whole showering after issue- if you're into showering) then we could head over to the restaurant for dinner... I *think* I can find it now... I know I could find HAMA but meeting you there would defy the whole not mentioning me thing (dunno how serious I am about that)

Come again?

Have to take a rain check on Indian tomorrow (and training as I pulled a muscle in my shoulder)...but you are free to come over on Monday, we can bar-b-q, drink some etc., We've got bugers and chicken (plan on making tandori) and beers...you bring the ground up entrails called sausages :)

it's just 'cause you don't want me w/out my better half isn't it? :P

i's good though, as I just ran across a note reminding me that I'm supposed to go to the dentist tomorrow for the continuing saga of a root canal at 4:15p...
which might suggest likely subsequent failure to enjoy a dinner out sufficiently to make it all worthwhile

so, how'd you mess up your shoulder?

Well Landers is rather cute :P I have an exciting evening planned sanding down the deck (providing it doesn't rain again)

Hope the root canal gets done and finished with tomorrow. Always wondered why dentists have this penchant for doing half a job at a time when there's no reason they couldn't do it all at once.

Not entirely sure what I did do to my shoulder. Most likely is I landed on my delt a little bit more than I should have when we did the break falling. But not sure as it could equally have been me sleeping strangely.
