An Over 50 Lifter

I’m up to three Wado Ryu katas now. Different enough that I have to learn them as new katas rather than just adjust the old ones slightly (like I did while we were in a Tang So Do club).

I hear you there - but I had 20 years to forget the original way I learned them…

All that tiling has obviously kept you in shape!

I’m lifting, just haven’t felt like posting.

Started a new cycle, mostly the same as the old one.

Small progress, I’m going to reset two weights down and sharpen up the form. Funny, I miss a week and some muscles don’t seem to notice, others I lose a fair amount of progress.

Another pre-test tonight at Wado. I’m making some progress and things are starting to come back or to adjust to the way that they do them.

Off to work.

Well, ended up dropping Wado because my daughter started crying every time I left for a work out. She was going through a rough time.

But I did take a first place in the over 35 AAU Brown Belt Texas State Championship. Won the final round 2.5 to .5.

Anyway, I’ve started working out again.

Tonight I did 28 kneeling ab rollers.

Tomorrow I head to the gym to start a new cycle.

I’m a sixty year old guy now …

Been gone for six years. Life really moves along.

Welcome back, I keep coming in an out myself. Trying to remember. Wasn’t it you who posted that beautiful scissor takedown to the waist of an opponent from one of your matches? 60 is a great year, I’m enjoying the hell out of it.

This is certainly a blast from the past!

Yep, that was me. The funny thing was that is the first time I ever executed that move.

Seeing you still here was a blast from the past for me as well. I’m getting restarted. Lift with my daughter on Thursday, some box squats tonight with the family.

Did twenty box squats with a sandbag as a warm-up for Thursday.

My new thread.
