Pistachio... Look for It

I'm planning on starting three projects right now. Two are concerning the I Ho Chuan and one is my own version of what Sifu Playter is doing- we'll see if I'm as effective as he is regarding the curriculum. I really don't know when I'm going to find the time, but as it was mentioned on Friday its a matter of making the time.

By the way, a buddy am I are scheduled to jump out of a plane this Saturday at 1:30. I'm vibrating like a leaf...

Anyways, since we need to get our butt in gear and get ready for some demo's (nevermind that we have no demo's planned...) I've taken it upon myself to get a team ready for a demo, to be ready for presentation to Sifu Brinker and Sifu Playter next I Ho Chuan class. Therefore, if any of you guys want in you need to be available for practices and you better be at class!!

Second, I want to go through the existing curriculum and define exactly what each technique is for. I don't mean how the choke escapes are to escape from chokes, but how each is connected, what should be learned from each, what is the goal of each and why is it in the curriculum? I know everything is interconnected, but I've never gone so far as to define how or to what, and I honestly don't know if I can fully. Sifu Brinker, do you mind if I bombard you with questions?

Third, I plan to... you'll see. Top secret, at least until the people who this is geared toward find out. Operation pistachio.

Remember the "Keep fit & have fun" Commercials?

Just a quick note to say I've been sick, but Nick and I were able to have a great anniversary regardless. I'll be posting my numbers by the end of the week. 'Till then...!

August Long- Fun in the Sun

On Monday I went to the Winterburn waterpark with my brother, my sister-in-law and their two kids. It was great, even though I have the worlds most awesome raccoon eyes now and a slight pink tinge. Even though I was out playing, I did think of you guys and about the I Ho Chuan, stopping to use my niece as a weight for pull-ups at the top of the slides. She thought it was a great game and I thought geez, she's getting heavy.

I hope everyone had a great long weekend and didn't let the sun stop you from getting your reps in. See you all Friday!
