Food for thought.

If one of the big topics in the industry is barefoot running and how it is a self limiting exercise, couldn't we say the same for how else we train?

What if we listened to our bodies more?

Cliff Notes for Past Couple of Months

George — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:59:00 +0000

Another great learning experience and workshop with Doc back in October 2009.
Assisted at the first ever Philadelphia RKC in October 2009.
Great learning experiences at R- & I-Phases of Z-Health.
Been dealing with being sick for the past couple of months.
Been focusing more on development & growth of myself and a few of my peers.

That being said:

Many projects & workshops to attend/promote so far this year.
Continued development and progression.
Been working with some people "behind the scenes" that I am very privileged to be doing so with.

More to come.

Couldn't say it better myself...

"People need to know that living in denial, about anything, will eventually catch up to them. No solution is better than dealing with issues in a straight-forward, transparent, and consistent fashion, especially when it comes to our own bodies."

The difference between “A-ha” and “oh s@#t”

Running Shoe v. Vibram FiveFingers

No, you don't run heel to toe. Yes, you probably don't have as strong of a foot as you should.

Only took about a month to finish writing. Read it, own it, read it again, own it, live it.

NJ KB Workshop w/ Dr. Cheng Recap

George — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:54:30 +0000

A fast and furious four hours of Hard Style to a sold out crowd!

Squat/Deadlift patterning, Hard Style lock, the power of Breath, Swing, and Turkish Get-Ups!

All positive feedback from attendees from various organizations (general public, fitness, law enforcement, military).

Special thanks to RKCs AJ Oliva & RKC II Steve Freides for bringing bells down.

Special thanks to Israeli Krav Maga, David Kahn, Abel Kahn, & Chris Eckel for their assistance and generous hosting.

From myself, a heartful thank you to Dr. Cheng and all attendees. Doc is a great mentor, teacher, and someone I call my brother. I have learned so much from him throughout the weekend and today. Without him and other senior RKCs, I wouldn't have the instruction to better myself in my learning and application.

To the attendees, I am glad that all of you moved better, learned about your own restrictions, what to work on, and generally appreciated the workshop that you attended.

Again, thank you.

More to come in the future.

For attendees (recommended books/videos):

MN tomorrow.

Busy Two Weeks

George — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 05:40:34 +0000

Lots to catch up on, full post coming next week.

On the agenda:

Write-up of my week with the Dr. (CT, DE, and our NJ workshop)
Article that Doc told me to I should write up after talking to him about it.

In the interim, about 40 people are going to get righteous with the Doc tomorrow on a Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully a lot of "a-ha" moments in their movement patterns.

Then fly out to MN on Thursday.
