SW Portland Martial Arts Blog

I thought I’d change the style of the aggregating posts. Instead of embedding stuff, I thought I’d just share links instead. Hopefully, if I continue with this format, I’ll have something pithy and clever to say at the beginning of the post that fills everyone with hope and joy but for now I just have this paragraph… whatever it is.

CrossFit class – in which I finally figure out that if you stretch your other arm out, you can use it as a counter balance. More evidence as to why I favor the tortoise in the race against the hare.

Here’s the kid’s class – in which I tackle a stuffed penguin and punch into the air. It’s not that I don’t like teaching to a camera – it’s that I fear it may be unsafe for my sanity. 🙂

Here’s the internal martial arts class. It’s all about observation… because if you can’t tell what’s going on, how can you do anything about it?

Here’s part 5 of the Mo Yee Do video series I’m doing. This video covers the “elbow” section. It has 6 moves, so it’s a bit of a doozy and on top of that, the second side ends slightly differently from the first. Breathe deep. You got this.

Mabel said the CrossFit workout today was easy. You try it. See what you think.

Shovel hooks and side break falls! That is what kid’s class was. Try it, try it, you will see.
