After a few days of low grade pain, I finally went to a doctor today after my left hand swelled up… I got a series of X-rays, which didn’t show any bone damage… It looks like I tore a tendon in my wrist – under my thumb – working some BJJ against a 350lb training [...]

I saw my doctor yesterday, in a follow-up to check out the status of my lungs after getting whooping cough. I am officially on the mend. My lungs are almost back to normal (in terms of inflammation and capacity). My doctor suggested a few more days of recovery (no going “balls-to-the-wall” in training). So nothing [...] In some ways it seems silly and pretentious to write all this out, but given the nature of what a personal blog is I’m going to try and get through it… First off some direction through definition: Expanding: 1.

Normally on Thursday morning I teach a semi-private MMA class… My trainees are out for the day, so I “stole” the time and had a fantastic yoga WO. Joint mobility, bunches of hand (arm) balances, core training, modified Sun Salutation, some Wu Shu hip and leg work… Feeling both wiped out and invigorated at the [...] Busy, busy, busy… There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day. My “nefarious” plan to update this blog once a week has fallen by the wayside due to an increase in training clientele, teaching a women’s self-protection class, prepping for teaching my first nutrition seminar, prepping study material for my first (training) [...] I am about a week from ending my current training cycle. For fun, and also to give my nervous system a break from the last several months of high intensity interval training (H.I.I.T.), I crafted, along with some substantial help from gymnastics coach Christopher Sommer, a plan to work on some basic gymnastic hand-balancing along [...] |
