This time, with feeling.

I'm experiencing motivation difficulties. I have a new idea. Let's see if it works.

If you study any martial art(s) that include(s) partner drills in training, let's get together. Teach me some drills, and we'll practice. I can share the tiny scraps of Capoeira and Tae Kwon Do I remember. I know you're out there, people. Krav Maga, Boabom, Capoeira, Jujitsu, TKD, Budo Taijutsu, Kung Fu... You know who you are.

anytime we're in the same city and same room...

Awesome.

I'm looking to start taking some sort of martial arts classes again soon, so when I do you'll be the first person on my call list.

First though, I'm gonna start taking hooping/ staffing classes. They're cheep... you should come!

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Cool.

1. Go to the Boston Martial Arts Center (http://www.boston-ninpo.com/). Best school EVAR.
2. I'd better stick to The Iron for a little while, so I don't think I'll make it to the hoop/staff classes. Thanks for the invite, though.
3. Soon as you learn a couple of drills from Mark Davis (http://www.boston-ninpo.com/Instructors.htm), we'll practice them.

Carol heard me rant about that place when we were roomies.

See, Carol, Proof! It's amazing!

I "third" the plug. Mark Davis and his crew are excellent.

If'n I was around Mr. Lepido, I'd be happy to whomp up on you.

See if Magg1es knows the old-skool Sanshin. It's a good solo drill.

Inconceivable!

"That word, 'rant.' I do not think it means what you think it means."

Rant, though rarely used as such, can also mean spoken with wild or uproarious merriment.

But indeed I should have chosen a better word...

I stand corrected.

sadly,
me and my t'ai chi are far away.

Hmm. Chicago is a bit of a haul, but you know I'll have to go see Fluffy again sometime. :)

Hey uh...

[magg1es.livejournal.com]

Re: Hey uh...

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

How YOU doin'?

Hell yes. Bust out the Ninpo.

[sookyoja.livejournal.com]

yo, man - you got my contact info, right? or find me through bcsbd.com!!! i would totally love to get on the kind of fitness kick you get on, and a partner would really help that.

oh - once my disc moves back in between my vertebrae, that is...

감사합니다.

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Good as done, bro. I wish you a full and speedy recovery.

Re: 감사합니다.

I Always "back-translate" whatever the site spits out, in case it's saying cookie laser or something. I have no idea how fonts and characters work. It's all magic to me, like plumbing.

I'm returning to taekwondo soon, I may need the same motivation.

HAAAIIYAA!!!

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. I was hoping to see you here.

[panzerkunst.livejournal.com]

Is this going to be at your place? Will we be wrecking the furniture?

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

My place, your place, someone else's, whatever. I'm just trying to assemble a "partner pool" so that I'll be compelled to train and exercise more frequently.

[xany.livejournal.com]

being 1200 miles away kinda puts a damper on things. However, I'll be in the Boston area from Dec 23-27. If schedules allow, I'd love to possibly get together for some KB drills.

[bottleimp.livejournal.com]

Icon coolness.

Thanks. The quote comes from this article by Henry Rollins. Definitely a good read.

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

I should be free on the 27th! Let me know.
