Friday the 13th IT training AAR

AAR, by the way, stands for "After Action Report". Coincidentally, "AAR" is also the sound many of us made after Friday's session. But I digress. Here's a synopsis of what we did on 11/13/2009:

==Calisthenics:==
- calf work: Jumping Jacks x 100 x 4 (standard, front/back, cross, standard)
- ab work: situps x 100 x 3
- upper body: pushups x 25 x 4

==Basic Conditioning:==
- 20m sprint x 10 (10-ish. lost count, sorry)
- line drills x 2 x 3 (2 sets per person, 3 times)
- frog jump line drills (explosion strength for quads and glutes)

==Basic movements:==
- 20 minutes...slow and strong.

Thought it'd be an easier workout now that we're indoors, but guess I was wrong. 3 days later, as I write this entry, my quads are still sore... That may be because I'm like 87 in dog years, but you get the idea. Standard redbelt training on Thursday, also in the dojang. I wouldn't count on any cakewalk on that time either!

IT Training this Friday, Nov 13th, 5pm @ studio

Mark your calendars: IT training is Friday, November 13th, 5pm @ the dojang.

We'll likely be indoors, as the night-vision goggles won't arrive on time for the outdoor run. Dang backorders!

Postponed!

Sparta event is postponed....but we'll do the Stanford juniors' scrimmage instead. Details here!

This is an all-you-can-eat buffet style event where you sign your name on a board, and get matched up as many times as you want through the day. Whereas you may get 2 fights on average at a regular tourney (with a $75 price tag no less), this Stanford scrimmage lets you get 6 or 7 fights for only $25. Someone get a calculator and check my numbers, but that's a pretty good deal I think...

Here're some shots from last year's Stanford event:

Nothing in this hand...oh look, someone put a quarter in your ear! Whoa how'd he do that?!
