I've actually been listening to the scanner feed from the Fire Department in El Paso county, Colorado. Thunderstorms set off a serious forest fire out there...they have lost a lot of structures. Very sad

 

[ETinCYQX]

Ours was in a "demonstration forest"-hiking trails and a bunch of different species of trees basically for experimentation. Lost some unique species apparently but contained pretty easily. On the other hand I was on a beach at 7PM last night and it was almost too warm, I can get used to this heat.

It's bedtime. Squatting tomorrow morning. Teaching tomorrow afternoon.

 

[ETinCYQX]

Speaking as the owner of 1.5 bad knees...what is the problem?

 

[ETinCYQX]

Rotational force applied while throwing, now I can't rotate on it to kick very well and I can't squat a lot of the time. Not sure what I did, it generally feels less "stable" than it should if that makes sense. I should get a doctor's appointment but I haven't done that yet.

 

[Xue Sheng]

You should also get an MRI

After 6 months of pain, limping, cane, crutches, multipleX-rays, and a draining or two they finally did an MRI and found I tore the meniscus.... and I had just stopped limping from a broekn foot just before I hurt the knee

 

[ETinCYQX]

It's off season as of next week so I will do exactly that.

I need a nice big dojang. I have a building in mind and everything. I'd even let the Shotokan club borrow it.

I have my first Black Belt "focus practice" tonight! The only thing I know about it so far is on any month with 5 wednesdays, we have focus practice on wednesdays where we focus on 1 particular thing (punching, kicking, breaking, etc..) - will know more tonight!

 

[ETinCYQX]

I have a BRUTAL headache. I think it's caffeine withdrawal. Which is good because my Dad just brought me a cup of coffee.

Also, quick question for you guys, teachers specifically. Is it common for another instructor to have his students do random crap for you? When I visit my instructor I don't get to do anything for myself, he tells his junior black belts to do it. Embarrasses me to be honest, I'm nobody important

Last stage of airborne school for my son. 2 combat load drops at 2500' with a t-10.
