…..Okay well in the United States we are on the last weekend of summer and it is a Holiday weekend so most people have at least three days off.  I typically look at a holiday weekend as a way to either rest a tired and weary body or if my body is feeling good then a weekend to make some martial gains.  Since my body does not have any aches this weekend I have chosen a few things to work on to improve my skill sets.  I will be spending some time working on take downs and throws plus bladed application and push dagger skill sets.  I have several private lessons so the take downs and throws will be trained there and as for the bladed and push dagger skills, those I will work on alone.  With the push dagger and blade skills one of the things I will be working on is penetration plus cutting and I have several methods I am going to employ but one is simply that I have an old, old heavy bag that has seen better days. (think of about eight years of sticks beating on it)  So I will be using that as well as going around my property and cutting branches with the ginunting, kris and presas style bolo.  So this should be an excellent weekend of working out and getting reinvigorated!

See You On The Mats!
