It was the first "summer" day for us, meaning it was hot. The heat seemed to sap everyone's strength. We were all very sluggish. What also made it difficult were the evasion and countering exercises were were doing. Today were defending against a left-stance attack (opponents left leg lead). We practiced slips and bobs and weaves to evade and counter jabs, crosses and hooks. They were quite easy to do one at a time.... 2009-06-28T12:06:00+09:00 http://star.ap.teacup.com/dontthinkfeeeel/11.html I'm back in Japan! And I'm married! I went back to the states for a week to have my wedding ceremony. It was beautiful! Lots of fun! Now I'm back. I tried to keep an eye on my weight while away. I was able to maintain my weight, but wasn't able to lose any. But that's ok. I'm back on the job. I'm going to Jeet Kune Do class again tomorrow to burn those calories. And to get myself ready for the competition. So buckle up. It's about to get rough and rug... 2009-06-20T20:51:00+09:00 http://star.ap.teacup.com/dontthinkfeeeel/10.html I'm down to 74 kilograms! I didn't go to Jeet Kune Do practice last week, but I did well with diet and exercise. I ran 28 kilometers and biked 27! Combined with my weight training, I'm getting slimmer and trimmer everyday. My Jeet Kune Do teacher also recommended a protein drink that I have been drinking. So my muscle mass has increased a bit. Since muscle is heavier than fat, I don't loose as much weight as fast as I could, but I'm getting stronger and gaining more ... 2009-05-24T00:40:00+09:00 http://star.ap.teacup.com/dontthinkfeeeel/9.html After a brief relapse, I'm back on with getting into shape. I have had to work a lot of overtime these last few weeks and haven't gotten to the gym or attended my Jeet-Kune-Do training as I have wanted. But I have still been watching what I eat and making sure I don't put on more weight. I have made it down to 75 kilograms! I have been able to maintain that weight without working out, but that's NOT how I wanna do this. So I'm primed for the second push. Things have ... 2009-05-13T01:30:00+09:00 http://star.ap.teacup.com/dontthinkfeeeel/8.html There will be a Savate seminar on April 26th, (This Sunday!) If you are interested you are welcome!

My goal is to step into and actual fighting arena and show what I can do. I have decided to join a fighting tournament, nothing too serious mind you. This is a bit further down the scale, we're talking K3. But there is still enough of a threat to get yourself knocked out, so I'm taking this thing seriously. First, I have to drop my weight class. My goal is to drop down to 70 kilograms. I was 78.6 when I started. ... 2009-04-17T00:09:00+09:00 http://star.ap.teacup.com/dontthinkfeeeel/6.html Hello everyone, I apologize for being away for so long. I was far too busy at work and couldn't do what I love. But I'm back now! I had my first Jeet Kune Do lesson after about two months. Returning to Jeet Kune Do after a long absence is always HARD. You get out of shape, so you feel all the pains of doing those things that you were used to. I hate the day after. The pain is always signigicant. But you have to go to work and continue doing all the things that you need to do. ... 2009-03-28T12:29:00+09:00 http://star.ap.teacup.com/dontthinkfeeeel/5.html ジークンドーや格闘技に興味のある方へ ＩＵＭＡの２００９年初回目のセミナーが、開催されます！ ジークンドーや格闘技に興味のある方(子供、大人、日本人、外国人、初心者、インストラクター)誰でも参加できるセミナーです。私は何回もIUMAのセミナーに参加しました。すごく価値のあるセミナーです。 IUMA will be having a seminar on February 8, 2009 in Chiba, Ichikawa City.
