Don’t think; feel…
October 14, 2007
After something like a five year absence, I have begun some martial art training again.
I kind of mentioned Gerard in a previous update – he posted a punching bag for sale at work and that time being the worst week in history at Nova for me, I just had to buy it. He hauled the bag and stand over and we had a good chat about martial arts.
We’ve since did some sparring and technique training twice and we’re setting a mixed martial arts club. The first meeting will be on Friday the 26 at Celio’s Soho gallery. In the long run, I’d like to have a more martial arts-oriented venue but for now it will do. (I’ve been hangin out at Celio’s more and the place is awesome).
One thing I’ve noticed is that I am completely out of shape and my coordination is shot. My reflexes seem fairly good still and I can still pick out the glaring weaknesses quickly. The best part is that Gerard and I are trading ideas to help the other improve. So far he’s been pointing out my weaknesses way more often.
This is great though – it lets me kill some time and vent some stress out. The punching bag is saving lives.
