I did some research on kenpo last night and found out it's kinda a hybrid of martial arts. Naturally, it derives from one American's interpretation of a bunch of styles. Definitely not hard core martial arts, but kinda a introduction.
ANYWAY, Dan didn't want to participate today and I knew I'd be too tired to do it later in the day so I woke up at 7, ate breakfast, and did kenpo by myself. Today was a breeze and I dominated it, until I tweaked a hammy on a back kick that I executed wrong because I was getting tired. Stupid back kick, nobody uses them anyway. If I'm in a fight with against 2 other people...wait, if I'm ever in a fight at this point in my life it's a free for all at the Blue Goose and there's going to be about 5 or 6 of my buddies there. It's not ever going to be 2 against 1. I doubt I'd succumb to an 2 attackers at this point in my life either.
But the real reason I'm writing tonight. Last time I golfed was a few weeks ago and boy was it brutal. For some reason I couldn't execute anything. Today i was hoping just to shoot under 90 in the 100 degree heat with Jarod and Dan. Well I shot 77! The big thing is I had more flexibility and was able to finish my swing.
(Side note: As I'm typing this I'm watching Evan Almighty. Awful.)
My point is I can make an honest assessment and say even thought I hate the Yoga and some of the other things, it's helping a great deal. Now I had a buddy ask me about the program and I will say this. It's tough to commit to 60-90 minutes a day, 7 days a week. I'm almost through 2 weeks and I'm already compromising the workout. However I definitely think it's something I'll be able to continue as I go back to Minnesota this summer. I may not look like they do in the DVD, but I should be able to continue with the majority of it through the full 90 days.
