May 2009-So Whats New

Oks so it has ben serveral months before i have posted anything up here but ive been busy actually doing training/work stead of writing up but have been taking mental notes of what has and what hasnt been coming along!

in the past 5 months my training has increased significantly. I have been training more on my striking technique and been putting in alot of sparring in the last 2 months after giving up mma due to the fact that my wrist is sooo gubbed if someone gets me in any kind of lock its all over! But Mick*muay thai coach* started his own club so not only am i getting my kickboxing practise in but also muay thai.

Its great to see how the two styles differ but also good as both can add sumthing to each and make them interesting, hopefully mick is gona get me a fight *heres hoping* but that all depends on my injuries....get to those in a bit. To continue my kickboxing gradin is due. Red belt black tags so been working on my fightin forms and my endurance as this will be a big test for me but hopefully end of the year ill be looking at my 1st dan

but anyways back to my training!....

as i was saying my training has increased and at the moment it is looking sumthing like this:

Monday:Chest and Back: Compound Movements and some abs( 1 Hour /1.5 hours)
Tuesday: 5km Run with 9kg weight vest and light stretching/Kickboxing later on ( 1 hour 45 mins)
Wednesday: Thai Boxing (1 hour pad work/ 30 mins sparring)
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Shoulders and Back:Compound Movements and Some Abs (1 Hour/1.5 Hours) Thai Boxing (1 Hour
Saturday: Legs and Chest: Compound Movements and heavy stretch due to leg training (1 Hour/1.5 hours)
Sunday:Rest

So my training has increased quite significantly from what it use to be. Before it was only 3 weight sessions and kickboxing and no CV work! i added the weight vest as to make the 5km distance which i usually find quite comfortable a tad bit challenging but also the weight vest was gathering dust and it needed a clean.

The increase in fight training is good aswell as the only way to become a better fighter is to spar more plus the fact i am working with two different styles of martial arts allows me to broaden my knownledge and see both strengths and weaknesses.

The splits are coming on quite a bit tho the side splits i think i just aint built for them to be done!


now i said theres a possibilty i could get a fight but that all determines on serval factors

  1. Scaphoid Fracture
  2. Weight
  3. My newly aqquired injured ankle* suspected fracture*

Now with the scaphoid fracture i have been told that i can get the operation done but there is a 1/20 chance that it will heal properly, so i go back in 4 months for a MOT Test if u may to see if i am fit and healthy enough for it. tho i could fight just now...but risk the chance of screwing it up!

The weight side of it, well av been told that if i want a fight ill have to drop half a stone to fight at 65 kilos! now for any of yous that have known me for quite a while will know that i have been trying to put on weight for the last 2-3 years and have managed to do so.....*very frigging slowly may i add*....but to be told id have to loose it is a bit of pain in the ass but if i want a fight its gota be done

finally my new injury happend there on wednesday night, unfortunately the docs think its 80% ligament damage or 20% bone damage.....i shall find out next wednesday.

hmmmmmmmm part from that the only other thing of importance is the fact am working on my level 3 now and i am due to take the exam in june, so hopefully next time i post ill be a Level 3 Qualified and on the REPS registar!

Till then.....
