Busy week, but no training – life gets in the way sometimes
MM, Well, I haven’t had a chance to workout at all this week. Eek! Not even a short run. I went to a ritual on Monday night. On Tuesday, I decided to stay home and get some work done. I spent all day and night typing up pagan chants that I know. (I’ve been meaning…

Training update – June 5 to 11, 2006
Monday, June 5, 2006 I went to the do jang for taekwondo class. Master Kim wasn’t teaching, so one of the higher black belts was teaching class. It was a good class though. We did some more traditional taekwondo drills – stances, blocks, hand strikes. Then we did some kicking. I’d like to have classes…

Training update – June 1 and 4, 2006
MM, What a heat wave last week! I ended up taking a few days off of training last week. I think I needed to let my body rest a bit, and the heat wave was not conducive to strenuous exercise. So, I started off the month of June with 2.6 km run (just a little…

Taekwondo Videos – Demo, Olympic Sparring, and Patterns
MM, I have been experiencing the wealth of entertainment and information available through http://www.youtube.com. I was primarily looking at taekwondo olympic sparring videos, but I found some other interesting taekwondo videos.

Training update – May 16 to 18, 2006
Another busy week… Tuesday, May 16, 2006 I went to the do jang for gumdo and taekwondo class. I’m starting to realize how much the horse stance in gumdo hurts my knee. Since I have torn cartilage on the medial side of my knee, the gumdo horse stance aggravates it a bit as it puts…
