Vertical elbow kotikitae …… elbow on elbow is special
pocket stick and knife work , much hilarity and intensity , from Bas Rutten Intensity Impersonations to Aiki moments and everything in between .
Conditioning and wave stuff
Elbows and cover and flow , lots to work on , very Keysi fighting method at times but with more freedom and flow , systema meets batman …..
ramble ramble .
Quote of the week
I hope this is hurting you as much as me …..
I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Somethin’ tells me he’s been here before
‘Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I’m a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me
Squats
10 * 130 kg
5 * 140 kg
pullups 6 sets of 7
1 set of 6 failure on 7 
played with finger loops and pull ups prior , good toy , want to acheive a shoken pullup by end of year , would be truly freakish , can do it with the lead two in shoken position … just
good night training considering the break , first failure on ull up progression but big break of late .
feeling motivated again , feeling goals are starting to line up with expectations again .
That brought back the devil in me
forgot to post
pocket stick work , trying to emphasise limb control/destruction , climbing , the circles short power and multiple strikes , pocket stick is perfect
then went on to some knife type sparring/duelling for fun
then some conditioning
am thinking of pursuing weapons work more fully
oh yeah almost forgot , worked on a vertical elbow flow/kotikitae variation ….. arm pounding with elbows is just plain fun
some flow work , intuflow type work
back bridges
tired and achey , just loosening things up
Felt like that all day
some minimal wave stuff , but mostly sticking hands and letting the opponent give the target , lots of attack and not defend , lots of spaz fighting wins the day …. did I just write that …….
beat each other up a bit , then did some conditioning , Shokens are officially pointy
quote of the week (just cause Sue always has one )
Marcus : Thats whats wrong with me …….
Dazzle : aint nothing wrong with you …..
Marcus : No thats whats wrong with you ……..
Dazzle : Shrug ….

Some flow work
kata kata kata
a couple rounds of conditioning

some handstand work (neglected for ages) but shoulders still tired form yesterday .
training later
Quad hops
Springing tripods
Kettlebell long cycle 1 set of 15 each arm with the 32 kg
some intuflow mostly focusing on the legs opening the hips and working the knees .
ran through flock of pigeon flow
did some intuflow , played with spinal rocks to pistol squat
basically chilled and reset , ready to get busy .
playing with the leg movments from intuflow a lot , have always utilised the movemnt for a front aiming mashi geri of sorts , but seeing where the rest of the dynamics can go
flow striking
chaining strikes
absorbtion
elbow bridging
shoulder strikes
conditioning
