meh....nothing exciting today.....

Likewise.

 

[wingchun100]

Come September, I might have a place where I can teach Wing Chun.

 

[Steve]

And dogs. We just dont like them.

I think Johnny Depp was the problem there... you could have kept him. I don't think we would have minded too much.

End of the day just slowed...to...a...crawl.

I'm going to make a surf and turf Rib-Eye Crostini with caramelized bourbon shallots, a goat cheese mousse and marinated sliced radishes.

That sounds delicious. But marinated radishes is a new one on me.

That sounds delicious. But marinated radishes is a new one on me.

I slice them thin, score them a touch, and marinate the slices overnight in 2 tablespoons of champagne vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard. Then stick em' into the goat cheese mouse.

Here's the recipe. I just use goat cheese instead.

Morning, MT.

Only working until 2 today. Then meeting with an attorney for a family court violation petition. Fun times!

At my current gym the Judo class starts after the BJJ class. I would love to join but even during the BJJ takedowns my body tells me in no uncertain terms that it does not want to be thrown a million times a night.......

With good falling technique, it's less of a beating than it looks like.

 

[wingchun100]

Got to get a website up and running and think of marketing strategies to build a student body ahead of time!

 

[Xue Sheng]

I see...once again...nothings going on......

 

[CB Jones]

Made it home this morning at 1:30 a.m. Unloaded and Dropped off the Uhual trailer at 8 a.m.

Great trip and tournament....but I am exhausted.

Seminars have been my most effective method of finding students. I need to do more of them. I did find two through offers on Groupon, though it took 60 days for the first one.

Well, you know how I have mentioned that I will be doing the 6-hour course at Hudson Valley Community College under their "community education" banner? There are many other places around here...even high schools, which surprised me...that offer community ed courses in the evenings. I can get an email list built from the students who take that.

On top of that, there are some libraries out here that have big meeting rooms. People reserve them for all kinds of things. I confirmed with Albany Public Library that I could indeed reserve a room for a martial arts class, as long as it was free to the public.

Wife's out of town this week, so I watched Disney's: The Descendants yesterday with my 8 year old. I don't think I'm the target audience, but it was fun to watch it with her.

For those of you who don't know, the movie is about the children of the Disney characters. Belle and the Beast have a son, who falls in love with Mal, who is the daughter of Maleficent.

Tonight, we're watching the sequel.

 

[wingchun100]

Now the hard part: just finding the time to do it! Until I get a better paying job from the PCO list, I am still working both jobs on Mondays and Tuesdays (sometimes even Fridays). While I am sure it is possible to get Wednesdays and Thursdays at some places, let's not forget our martial arts training does not exist inside a bubble; Wednesday and Thursday nights are usually reserved for appointments.

It will be a tough squeeze, but I am determined to make it work!

I don't believe you. I still remember how much it hurt back when I was 15.....

Almost forgot: I am picking up something from a place called HD Waterworks that will hopefully give me the ability to finish building my wooden/PVC dummy.
