Sisco

Pretty standard training for Wu Shu, Muay Thai, and Okinawan Karate styles. In Okinawa it is called “Makiwara”. And it does a number of things. 1. Over time if you start it young enough, it actually increases your bone density. That is why Muay Thai Shin kicks from a dedicated practitioner are so devastating. 2. It develops your musculature to become a pad of firm armor over your bones and vital organs. 3. The hand movements and exercises dramatically increase your hand speed, and hand eye brain coordination, as well as imprinting blocks and attacks into instinctual muscle memory. When I was studying Uechi Ryu, we would have voluntary sessions to “test” the level of our training. We would perform a Kata, usually Sanchin, as that was the Kata that taught application of a lot of this, and our Sensei would strike us with his fist, foot, or a rod unexpectedly to test if we were ready and conditioned to weather an attack. Some times the rod would be replaced with a 2”x 2” x8’ pine staff for the advanced students. Having one of those broken over your quads or your glutes is an experience. But with training and practice, you learn to ignore it, and continue to attack and defend. Like any self defense system, the Oriental ones are as much mental as they are physical. This type of training develops a bridge between the two. Interesting. This young lady is a very capable martial artist.

Welcome

1917 is interesting.

Fury is good. And that was the last remaining Tiger tank in that movie. Borrowed from the Royal War Museum. Anybody here ever gotten into the AMC series “ Hell on Wheels”? Now on Netflix.Not war, a western, but pretty good.

Gentlemen, you all have the patience of a Saint.

That is what Viagra is for

Training. You don’t think about what you do, you just let the body do it.

Tried that two years ago at a sport show. They put up a garbage can with a sensor and a green light. Green light goes off you draw and shoot. Surprised myself and the guys running the booth when I did a .7 seconds on my 3 rd shot. Did another .9sec but couldn’t get back down to it. I could have stayed there all day or until I ran out of money. It was a hoot.

36 years with my wife, still love her. I do miss my 1975 International Scout II.

Boot thanks for the laughs Brother! Needed those.

Dion I will take the other 200 PPU, and let me know the count on the RP, might take those too.PM me your Paypal info and I will send it right away. If I am sitting around, might as well reload.

Good starter kit.

Back at Jason’s in Windsor, A really good table dance went for $10 Canadian in the 90’s. And I mean a really really good table dance.

Another big azz pork shoulder in my small azz smoker. 5 hours in.

Owls ARE badass. Love the creatures. Beautiful, silent deadly. Same traits as the perfect girl friend. Well, maybe not deadly, but close.

Buy a 1911 frame and slide Red, your in business!

Know where some are, along with just about every other bird! Nice Brown Neil. They are killing browns on Chequamegon Bay this winter. Up to 36 inches. Bass was in my back yard down here. Pike was up in Northern Manitoba. Caught a little, 4 pounder, bass this morning. I don’t bother with pictures anymore with those little guys.

Have owned 6 of them, yes they are.

That looks mighty tasty!👍
