How I start my day (Instead of- my Lockdown Training Videos)

Hello, everyone We are now in Week 4 of a Lockdown of which the end has yet to be determined (although the end of this month will be really appreciated.) This is the time where I have seen many martial art schools and Yoga studios turn to apps like Zoom to give live online classes. I have been experimenting with it since Thursday. I have not taught anything, but my training sessions were shared with page visitors in these videos: https://web.facebook.com/404145377031933/videos/153641686058159/ https://web.facebook.com/404145377031933/videos/240673023791568/ https://web.facebook.com/404145377031933/videos/2593914424199507/ These videos show the largest part of the training sessions that I have in the mornings. Tomorrow is Taijiquan day. Then it is a lot slower and more peaceful than what goes on on the other days. Mondays are the days for weights and strength exercises. Today's video showed most of the Saturday morning workout. I ha

Dust off the Weighted Vest. We have training to do.

I was able to stay off this blog for 2 weeks after our President announced the Lockdown on 26 March. I thought it was going to be over really soon (like the 17th of April)- then it got extended. Going to the gym is out now. And- going to the gym is what I normally do on Fridays, because on Fridays I hit the heavy bag there and do conditioning. For reasons that I would rather not explain the landlords here do not want me to put up any kind of punching bag that is attached to the house. And- last one I had that was not attached to the house was... ummm Yes. It did not last. Nonetheless- I wanted to fill the bag's time with something else... I think you now understand how I got to this point. So- this is more or less the Friday morning workout for the next 3 Fridays (regardless of whether the Lockdown gets extended any further, because after this month I will either work or die resisting arrest after slicing up some people...)
