Black Belt Goal

My 2 year goal to attain 1 of the 101 HaganaH BlackBelts in the world

We did a total body workout Sat and had major shoulder pain. I guess it could not have come at a better time because of the holidays. I am going to take a few days off and rest. If you just keep cranking sometimes you never have the chance to heal.

With that being said, I get to work on some of my other goals building MorningCoach and getting the speaking events ready for 2010! It is going to be an amazing year!

Took Friday off – today we had a bad ass leg workout! Did the Gengis Kahn! Lots of cardio and a lot of burbees…. tons of medicine ball workouts.

Still hanging around 155, 3rd day with the additional 1100 calories from the serious mass shake and I am eating more. It is also 5K time and I am looking to do a sub 20 minute 5K. Will post results when I find one to run in!

Loving life, many things coming – been working hard on MorningCoach.com this week, but will have tons of updates next week!

Today I had a private workout with MLK still working on defense and I tool close to 1000 punches. I still have to work on getting tighter and bringing my elbows in but awesome workout. I then went to Black Fin Muay Thai Kickboxing and I am getting better that is for sure. NO black eye this week, but still have a long way to go. Jay and Larry who I will detail later on here and really helping and I am getting more aggressive.

I can’t wait for my new headgear to get here! I also picked up some Serious Mass and will be adding it to my nutritional list. I am drinking 1 1200 calorie shake a day in addition to everything else trying to break through 160 lbs. I will get some more pictures and videos up soon!

Tomorrow, 3 workouts. In the AM I am working out back at the gym and then I have HaganaH at 10:30 and finally hitting Combat Fitness a 8PM. Life is good!

I will get some reviews and other FUN things up here, because I am sure you just don’t want to hear about my progress! LOL

I did find out I am in for FIGHT instructor certification APRIL 22 – 25th Pretty pumped about that!

Mike Lee Kanarek Quote of the day : ” You Can’t Rattle A Centered Soul ” …I have always believed in balance. I am half American, half Vietnamese but am Israeli by mentality. So to me its always been about the number 3. I see live on three levels : 1) Personal 2) Parent 3) Business…as long as all those three are balanced and taking care of, I am centered. Are you centered?

If you pay attention I put personal first. A lot of people will think this is selfish…but, when you get on the airplane they tell you “put the air mask on first before assisting other” also, “mama Lion eats first after the kill, if not she won’t be able to hunt again tomorrow…if she doesn’t hunt, nobody eats”

You must take care of yourself first before you can truly take care of others…if you feel strong, strength will transport into the ones around you. If you feel weak, you won’t be able to lift those around you when needed.

Personal also includes faith, relationships, friendships, hobbies….and more

Then I put parent…whoever knows me personally knows that I take being a father as the greatest priveledge ever given to me.

I have a lot to live up to in this department, I had GREAT parents!

The love of my mom is what built me up, the discipline of my father is what made me almost unbreakable…the affection of my sister and brother is what made me affectionate!

Tt is my duty to try to out-do them as a parent to my children

And finally I put business.

That….HaganaH speaks for itself!!!

Had a pretty tough class tonight, worked on some combos with Thai pads and focus mitts. Great workout and got some work done. Still not gaining weight still around 155. May have to add a weight gainer to the mix for the calories.

Tomorrow 3 workouts with morning being chest, mid-day HaganaH, and will end it at 8PM with Combat Fitness.

Hopefully new headgear will be in by Wed Sparring if not I will have to use the title for now. I have some supplement reviews and equipment reviews coming soon so check back or subscribe to the feed! Thank everyone!!

Had a great workout with did the Combat Fitness King Kong. Great workout and followed it up with tactical knife.

Legs are sore, and I hate the sled we pull a sled about 50 yards forward and then 50 yards back it rocks the legs.

Tactical knife we worked on reverse grip under stab defense, a good one!! But, I have a long way to go!

Going to get some R&R today, and watch the fights tonight. Tomorrow I may hit the gym and do some abs or I may use it as a rest day. I will gage it in the AM. Good news I was at 156LBS at weigh in the AM still 14LB’s off goal but getting there. Everyday a little better! Just have to keep working and keep the discipline there!

Sir’s quote today from Facebook : Link

Mike Lee Kanarek Quote of the day : ” Winning Starts With Beginning” Win is a short word, only 3 letters, W- Will, having the will to win is the ultimate pre-requisite, without that will you will fail when hard times hit you in the face. I- Intention, you must have perfect intention to achieve that win, without the intention its all words. N- you fill in what N stands for you! SUB

Heading off to a private with Sir today, going to drill defense. Getting better everyday! I also added a piece of equipment to my arsenal today the Winning FG2900 headgear. It will be here sometime next week. Hope it is good as its price tag. $200 and it is being shipped in from Japan. I will not spare  cost for head protection. I will review the headgear when I get it, but everyone says Winning equipment is awesome.

Everyone is requesting a pic of the black eye so I will work on getting that up here today, after training. Today Ab’s and a Private workout and then I will be ready to roll!
