*very gutted as my pervious post didn't make it losing a lot of the photographs*

Was so happy to come home to find my Seishin Gi had arrived. I basked in the glow that was Seishin before carefully opening it up and trying it on before heading to training.

It feels super light in comparison to my very heavy weight Gis yet retains the awesome snap when committing a fast and precise technique. 

Will update later after i’ve had a few sessions but I am already happy with the purchase.

Seishin Gi to arrive today

UPS’ tracker has advised me that that Seishin Gi arrived in the UK today from Sweden at 6.30am.

Only downside is that no one will be home to accept the delivery :(

Tips Needed

Hello, I really need some tips on how to build up arm strength for making my strikes more powerful ect and also leg strength so that I can hold shikodachi in particular for much longer then I can at the minute, also for my tournament in 4 weeks time I am performing seiyunchin so shikodachi is crucial, help out a fellow martial artist here please?

[alecjon2013-blog]

Sorry, that really messed up haha.  I meant to say that your arm feels incredibly heavy when you’ve slept on it for so long. This is because you arm is heavy. It’s mass and this is one of the key elements to produce power, along with acceleration. I have a student who is 12 and she can produce a very good hand technique because she has been able to use the appropriate hip technique to increase the mass behind her hand technique. She's basically adding the rest of her body mass to the technique. 

For example - a mawashi shuto uchi which is performed fast is effective, but when you use the appropriate hip movement, you add additional speed and increase the amount of mass put into the techinque - i.e more power.

I’ve seen people with very little muscle produce good technique and its just a case of perfecting your hip movement.

I’m not saying strength building isn’t the way, but it is but one of many ways to improve your strikes :)

Should explain to anyone outside of Britain…

The Crystal Maze was a game show on British TV back in the 1990s, originally hosted by Richard O’Brien (creator of the original stage version of The Rocky Horror Show). The object of the show was to travel between four different zones set in various periods of history, taking on various challenges to win “Crystals” that gave you time inside a giant plastic dome, where you had to collect gold tokens being blown around by industrial fans, in order to win a big prize.

This was an actual show, and it was a show that British people really liked and people have kind have always wanted to see be brought back (it was my favourite show when I was a kid), and now it hopefully it might be if this campaign gets the funding.

YouTube video of the first episode.
