Sometimes I Dance Instead of Training

All same, no?

Truth & Demon

Running

You call yourself a free spirit, a “wild thing,” and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
― Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s

At Play At The Gym

Had fun last night at the gym.  I kept an eye on my numbers but played with different ways to lift heavy weight.

Loaded up the next values for my squats that I can’t hit and just pushed from the bottom, getting the bar up just inches and holding for as long as possible.

Triple plates on each side for my deadlift and lifted and held just off the rack and put it back.  Readjusted to the lower rung and did the same.

Triple or single reps on the weighted pulls and dips after warm-up to see what I can push and pull.

Me, my music and my weights.  Sounds like a lifestyle.

An Angel Will Die

It’s too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we’ll fade out tonight

And to all the people I engaged with over the week,

Thanks for a killer week.

Gung Fu (and martial arts generally) are not about having a valid opinion and certainly not concerned with skill at fighting. Instead, what brings success in martial arts is the ability to suppress any dissenting opinion, usually on the internet. It is about having the fanciest website and about constant, unending and ceaseless self promotion. What has happened to us as a society when we promote heroes based on what they say and how good they look, rather than how well they perform their particular skill?

Gung Fu is about shouting the loudest.

But what happens when no-one is left to listen to your voice. What happens when your students have abandoned you and life deals you a harsh hand?

If there is anything I would change, it is to silence martial artists to enable them to focus on self actualization.
