A total of about 200 spins with heavy iron pipes. I add a little variation between every 20 or so, both left and right. Start out with less spins than increase as you feel ready. These will really pump your forearms up. 2. Some 2 to 4 move combos with the heavy stick. These vary depending on what I am thinking of or trying somthing new, etc., etc. This can last for about 45 min to an hour depending on whatever. 3. Do the same drills with my fighting sticks. Do some free flow with my sticks. 4. Weight training: I train for functional strength and use a very unorthidox method. Everyone has told me that it won't work, but I guarentee to prove it otherwise. I have the forearms to say so. Hammer curls every night at first to build a solid foundation. Go every other night after your muscle starts to develop. Go alittle lighter and do more reps. Not too light and not too heavy. 5. As much time with a training partner as you can. Work on what needs to be worked on. Basics? Drills? Free flow? Only you know what you need to work on, but remember to have a strong foundation. A friend of mine also puts alot of time hitting a wooden dummy that he has. Different strokes for different folks. ===== "Draw me not without reason, sheath me not without honor" Chad Hawaii __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Actually, I change it about once every two weeks, so it is always different. I started about four months ago from being pretty out of shape--could only run about 2 miles. I had quit martial arts altogether after my dad's death, so my efforts here represent a journey back to the level of fitness I used to take for granted. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated. Respectfully, Terry Tippie Pacifica, CA ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________ BASIC STATS: 1.

DIET. Fats nice & low, proteins too low, Calorie intake 1200 per day--Too low to sustain workout schedule. Getting way fatigued, especially in evenings at Fairtex. Solution: Get coaching on diet from knowledgeable trainer. 2. SHINS. 45 minutes of jump rope/day producing muscle soreness/shin splints. Impossible to run. Solution: switch to non-running aerobic exercise until shins are okay. Ice shins & take Alleve. Keep up jump rope but watch it. 3. ABS. Getting hammered from body shots during boxing sparring. Solution: New abs. workout from Kun Klu Ganyao. Until then stick & move. 4. TIME: Not enough time to get into shape, workout in multiple arts & teach given current work schedule. Priority: get into shape, focus on Muay Thai and lay off teaching. Problem: How to fit in BJJ, FMA & teaching? Answer: Talk to me in 40 lbs. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________ ------------------------------ From: ABurrese@aol.com Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 21:37:16 EDT Subject: eskrima: creatine In a message dated 99-10-26 18:20:29 EDT, you write: << Hi all, For Patrick Davies, I was wondering what "creatine" is? never heard of it and have some people interested in weight gain - if it is ever used for that ? thanks a bunch! Jill >> I'm not Patrick, but I can let you know about creatine. Creatine is a supplement that has made a lot of news in the last year or two. I think every study I have read shows that it works. The research has demonstrated increased strength and power as well as an ability to recover faster between training. And yes, it also helps with increasing bodyweight. Typically, a dose is between 5-20 grams a day. Many suggest a "loading" phase where you take 20 grams a day for a week, then go on a 5 gram a day maintenance phase. But I have read some studies that say this loading phase may not be necessary. You can buy straight creatine, or you can buy it in some form of mix. If you buy it straight, it is advised to mix it with something like apple juice or the like because it is absorbed and used better if taken with the high-sugar low acid type juice. (so orange juice is out) The mixes you buy are usually some orange or grape flavored drink that have the high sugar and low acid mixed in. but of course these kinds of drinks cost more than the pure creatine. There are a lot of supplements out there, and many are not worth the hard earned bucks people spend on them. But the research does show that creatine works. But it will only help if you are on a program that warrents taking supplements. Creating needs to be taken while staying on a good lifting program. Without working out, it won't do anything for you. Of course, proper diet, rest, proper periodization, etc. are all ingredients in any program to increase strength, weight, etc. (or to lose weight for that matter) Hope this helps some, sorry no time to write more at the moment.

I wonder how many of the list members who so openly "boast" about carrying knives and their willingness to use them (can't have one without the other!), would instantly choose this option (brainwashed through repitition of technique) at the slightest provocation... eg. Getting harrased by an amourous drunk, getting the finger whilst driving, having a bigger kid hit your kid, getting pushed out of line in a queue etc, etc, etc Does anyone remember the incident earlier this year about the escrima guy going "postal" with his knive...

This is the stuff the body uses to increase the repair time of the muscle and so sees strength gains rapidly increase which I and others can lay testimony too. Take it with glucose powder as this helps its absorption better. Vandyl sulphate also enhances the effects. I sometimes put it in with my protein drink. Drink lots of water to flush the kidneys out is very important. They used to say load up on it first but that is no longer considered necessary. I use Prolab as that isnt full of additives. However it can put on the gut despite the increase in intensity of training although this may be just with some people. Training partners who are competitively fighting have stopped using it as they need to make the weights. A useful tool to use when you need to step up, Some silly s*ds use it all the time but will suffer later in life as excess of anything hurts. Top sportsmen in all sports are generally using it as part of their programme.
