GQ042 – Speedy Kakato-Hiza

Kakato-Hiza – this is a form that just feels good going fast. Don’t really know why – because it has some kicks in it and even two reverse heel thrusts – which usually tend to slow things down for me. So don’t know why – but I enjoy going fast with this one. Hope it looks good too!

Here’s a sample of yesterday’s workout… (And no – it’s not a slow-mo video. It’s an actual slo-mo martial artist). Music by: Jason Shaw @ audionautix.com This is also a good [...]

GQ005 – Body Putty

Okay. Remember day two? Day two where I stated that I had three areas to address in this quest – improved workouts, flexibility and weight management? Day two where I publicly declared that I could stand to “lose a few pounds” because I did not want to be a fat master? Have you also noticed [...]
