How is it going guys? check out this new forum… change is good, keeps you on your toes!
as you “senior members” know life has thrown a curve at me and my family lately and some deep introspective thinking was required. “How do you want to live life?” maybe the easiest and toughtest question I’ll ever have to answer. I’m working on the answer…
My wife and I just came back from Cuba. that island is amazing. It makes my soul ache with its passionate people and its sad stories. (naturally we had to fly to mexico then to cuba due to U.S. logistics) It was my second trip and I’ll make many more. I made many friends their including lots of children who can now be seen practicing hip throws and sanshou kick catches along the beach surf ! If sanshou ever takes off there, I’ll be the Helio Gracie of Cuba !!!
Just wanted to log on and check out the new site. I see the posts have been much fewer. A migration? Ralek are you still trolling?
All my best guys!!! I’ll drop in now and then to add my 2 cents to the pot.
speaking of sanshou..
I see some local sanshou guys are fighting. Julio or Dan ? put on a small sanshou comp recently. I alsosaw Aaron Honeycutt (who used to advise me) in the recent KF Magazine pic with Scott Sheely at the U.S. Open (always my fav tournament, thank you Shawn Liu!)
GDA- Yes you were correct. She is ill. bottom line is she’ll never be “well” but she is very strong but tires easily.
news We got a dog! A chinese shar-pei ! He is great! Named him Liu (lou) as it is easliy chinese and American.
Its nice to hear from you all again. Hi lightfoot, welcome to the CMA gang. Watch out for the “grand ultimate fist” and threads that mention “aorta” crushing…
KC, Cuba was already filled with children practicing “karate” and those kids adore bruce lee movies they watch at community theaters. I just showed them how to stop the bigger guys!
the workout thread, - Yeah that kinda went out the window after the bad news broke but on a positive note I have been walking alot lately! (One day I walked 14 miles) and have been eyeing some hiking boots for x-mas so that I can head out on some trails with the dog this spring! i’ve taken a vow to myself to treat my body with more respect but the holidays are killing me!!!
I do think that that is a great beginners workout though.
