I had the misfortune of getting stopped by the train on the way to karate this morning. While watching the train go by, I started reading the graffiti that people had spray painted on the side of their giant steel Union Pacific canvases.
I have a few notes.
First, don’t over-ghetto your graffiti. There were [...]

Today’s workout was test prep at its best. We did not one, but TWO sets of the Shodan test basics. I’m not going to lie… it was not fun. My body has largely stopped hurting, however now its purely a fatigue issue… I get about halfway through the Shodan test basics and [...]

The Cheat isn’t feeling so good. I went to clean their cages tonight and I heard a “stomach growling” noise coming from his cage. I took him out, and found that he had a little matted area near his behind.
And he was emitting said stomach growling sounds. I did some checking online, [...]

Tonight’s workout was fantastic. It started off reminiscent of Thursday’s workout, only the dial was turned up to 11. The warmups already had me seeing sparklies, but I made it through. The whole first class was gutting out basics, over and over again. It seemed somehow less strenuous than Thursday and [...]

Sensei Brewer ran us through a really great first class that consisted of basic techniques. I tried to focus on punching from my core which slowed down my techniques a little, but [...]

During the non-karate time this weekend (I need to figure out a common term for time spent outside karate, comment with ideas), we finished clearing out my grandparents belongings from their house.
We laid claim to any of the items that they could not bring with them (at their request, of course)… I ended up with [...]

Saturday was basically a check to make sure we were still mostly dead after Thursday. A potent combination of the Shodan test combinations, the six-pack abs in seven days workout, and some free sparring made sure that my Sunday was sore. Very sore.
It felt good to spar again… took a few good shots [...]

At long last, I returned to the dojo to That Special Gleam in ’s eye… “The House of Pain is back… the doctor is in” he said as he arrived at the dojo tonight. And he was.
The first class started as a frenzied conflagration of abdominal and core exercises designed to gently remind [...]

Why IT Dorks Play D&D… it seems like a pretty good theory to me!
