Best post ever.

Good luck today, let me know how it goes.

2/24 Cals, Abs, Clinch fighting, knife and gun disarms

Agreed, JKD should be a mindset rather than a style. For something to be a style it has to have set techniques and perameters. Lee cared not for these things.

Hit only as hard as you wish to be hit back.

2/23 Back on the wagon after a vacation to Houston. Triceps, shoulders, bagwork. 2 rounds light sparring to test out the shoulder.

The system which i am part of attempts to take everything that is combatively effective no matter what the style is. In this vain, i suppose a person could blend together many styles at once. Thats the whole idea behind a system like Jeet Kune Do, keep what works, throw out what doesn't.

2/15 abs, shoulders, assorted kicks, staff kata 2/16 30 min stretching with physioball, 45 min basic grappling positions. Front kicks, rounds kicks, side kicks on air sheilds. Being injured is beginning to anger me!!!!!

An umbrella perhaps???

Drive a car, can be a great weapon in a pinch

2/14 Solo workout-Abs, shoulders, stretching, kicks, abs, shoulders, legs.

Agreed, if things are that bad stay at home where you atleast have a little security, we aren't supposed to think like superheroes or vigilanties. A car can be a great weapon when not looking "armed". On another tangent Masterpain what do you think about something about hitting your advesary with your car being worked in to the 5 values of Bujin Bugei Jutsu. LOL!!

Well said, in my opinion, the government can screw up a cup of coffee. Governement intervention in any field usually leads to a bureaucratic, inefficient process where nothing gets done. It would be a shame for the government to stick its nose in something as expressive at martial arts. Government intervention would be a far worse thing in the long run than illegitamate teachers.

I will agree with you that George St. Pierre is an amazing athlete and an amazing martial artist, his techniques have been geared towards a sports competition. Due to this he is focusing on certain techniques that may not be totally advisable in a combative situation i.e. a double leg takedown if your are not a law enforcement officer. Therefore im not sure that GSP should be involved in the discussion of the combative effectivness of an art. Just my opinion

Is there a concealed carry law in Ontario, or in Canada for that matter. I am ignorant to such things.

2/10 Light warmup -focused on streching quads and back Practiced about an hour of both sword and bo kata, yes you heard me, kata.

im just kidding, my greatly deteriorating cardio doesn't need the extra strain of sugary treats.

good for her!!!! does she get an employee discount on Zero bars.

Hopefully nothing serious, i think its just a bone bruise. HURTS LIKE CRAZY!!!!! Once again i am on a steady diet of ibuprofen, my liver hates me more than usual.

2/8 Getting a training partner ready for a fight on friday, worked negative grappling positions and takedown defense until i got dropped on my shoulder awkwardly and am now injured .

Good point panda.

2/7 12, 2min rounds boxing with masterpain, got hit in the face a few to many times but did ok. Worked basic no-gi principles with a few newbies.

2/6 30 min boxing, worked defense and head movement drills BJJ: Worked half guard to full butterfly sweep and whip up sweep from half guard, as well as, working constant hip and chest pressure. Tallgeese:How bout the back leg front kick to stomach 5, works 75% of the time... every time.

As many of the above posters have said, full contact, hard sparring is ok once in a while when you have proper protective gear such as boxing gloves and headgear. Its not worth getting hurt just for tha sake of going hard.

knowledge is power, and anyone trying to keep you from obtaining more or different knowledge is either an egomaniac or(as was said above) scared to death of losing their students. Remember owning a school, no matter what good intentions one may have, is still a business.
