‘m starting to get back into a consistant training regimen. The first thing people ask after they hear that you’ve earned your Blackbelt is “What are you gonna do now” or “Why train?” The answer is simple and automatic to me, “To earn my Second degree/dan.” Without going into an explanation on all that I still sort of find it odd that people ask that question.  I guess one of the things I learned early on in my training is that if you treat your body correctly and truly do enjoy training that you will endeavor to do it as long as possible.

So I’ve been getting back into a regimen as I earlier stated.  I’ve been training very lightly due to several injuries and I must say I was starting to get very lax in my view on training. In the past 3 weeks I’ve really started putting my nose to the grindstone and I can feel it in my back and knees. They are iritating but I won’t let them become deturrents.

Yup, I’m still crushing on the Mooto brand.  I ended up getting a pair of their Spirit shoes.  I’ve been interested in using a martial art shoe for training for a while and recently something convinced me to do it based on how frequently, or infrequently are school is cleaned by the cleaning service. I’ve been training with them for about a week and a half and I’m very satisfied. The material is solid and the shoes are extremely light, however, the shoes have a great feeling of support in the heal, instep and outstep. I’m still getting used to turning with the shoes on as I’m not used to the added grip they give you while you are training. I can say I get a little more used to it for everyday I train.

Anyway, I’m out peoples. Later.
