I have no idea how but for two days this week my back has been so bad I looked like a ship listing to one side when I walk , just crazy and then do not even get me started on my shoulder not even sure why that is I will balme Master Cavaos if for the burpees, lol it was not him but need to balme someone. Anyway it is hindering my training and that is jsut not good for me at all. We will keep working on forms and self defense.

Good Afternoon

There are some exciting things coming up in 2020, I turn 60, I have some weird family news coming in and I am testing for my 6th. So exciting times are coming my way and looking forward to seeing what the future the up an downs along the way. Need to keep pushing remind myself to keep pushing and always have some help with my friends to keep me on track.

I am working way to much with my environmental work, 9Round and KTA Fitness. So this is going to be a challenge but need to continue to make time and work on a goal. I still live in Matthews and commute a lot to get my training completed. I have more excuses than most but need to put them aside. So here we go and see you on the other side.
