So here is an update for the Wrestling coach position:
I have an interview on Thursday. This is the relaunch of their wrestling program and they have not had one in about 2-3 years. And the biggest kicker of all is that the season starts in one month and they have not even formed the team yet. So yeah, that is what you get with Cincinnati public schools. Either way I will do what I need to do if I get the job. Keep your fingers crossed for me SRK brethren.
From like February 2001 until December 2001 or so I was in Hawaii Okinawa Kenpo Karate (HOKK). This school is ran by the Bunch family.
Man remember when you thought your martial arts were the best
Then yo watch ufc3
hahaha i never thought that even before i saw ufc i was super influenced by bruce even as a kid. it never made sense to me, even when i was 7, how one martial art could be the best one ever.
I stumble upon a TKD and Karate school where my nephew was also taking lessons. It just had a grand opening this week. The instructor offer me a free trials for the lesson.
lolā¦all martial arts schools offer free trial lessons.
So it looks like I will be a HS wrestling coach. Basically our first meet is in a month and the kids have zero wrestling experience. Either way I actually get my own wrestling room with mats and everything. I will be sure to take pics of the office (I will have pics of famous pro wrestlers and SF characters, lol).
Congrats on the new job man, when you mentioned the pro wrestling pics you made me think of this guy haha
Man ima have a undertaker action figure on the desk with random stuff. Only thing that sucks is that Iām the Jr high coach so I canāt weight train them. But I can have light sparring and weight training days on Saturday.
I use to ask myself why they never offered martial arts in school. I wish my high school had a karate/kickboxing squad. Also DJ, on fridays, you should wear a luchador mask. Tell them itās for good luck.
good question. I know I will be teaching break falls on the first practice. I will also try to have fun with it. So a game we played was dodge ball and whomever you hit you had to perform a throw. Either that or the gauntlet.
Iād you canāt have them weight train there are other things that can be used such as have them carry each other in certain ways, sand bags, sledgehammer, tires, and etcā¦ Depending in your creativity, they can make a considerable amount strength gains in a short amount of time.
why cant you weight train? jr high as in middle school? i dont see why they cant do light weight stuffā¦kinda weird rule. but ya tons of body weight excersises to be doneā¦carrying members, push ups sit upsā¦firemans carry.
Well the athletic director said because of liability issues. But on Saturdays I wil have a voluntary day for just grappling and weight trainig for the HS guys. I saw the weight room and there is a lot that I can work with (will post pics later). Yeah I will have them do the whole piggy back up stairs and what not.
Had a tournament for the memory of Pauly Silva today. He was a well known martial artist in the Santa Cruz area and was shot and killed just outside of a bar.
So one person from my gym competed in the essentially full contact event. He got beat up pretty good, but the guy he fought was really good.
You wear specific head gear with a plastic face cover and the MMA gloves. Basically the only things you canāt do are downward elbows while standing, leg locks that twist the joints, small joint manipulation, and grab the helmet. Yes you can head butt.
I donāt know why but they break up standing stuff like Muay Thai clinch or Judo throw attempts after three seconds. Several time during matches that rule looked dumb because someone threw them right as the third second ended.
30 seconds on the mat and then stand up. Many fights would just stand up, restart, and then within 5 seconds be back on the mat, but sometimes not. But least you can head butt and punch while on the mat.
It looks really hard and some guys were truly good. One guy got knocked out twice by the same guy lol.
This event sounds awesome tbh
Just started Choy Lee Fut.
My body is going to hate me.
Which site?
And yea, I have to admit, I enjoyed watching the event. Kind of made my blood boil, but at the same time I donāt need to get concussions.
They have no head striking events. Not sure on the rules other than no punches and kicks to the head, but the upper legs and body are wide open. Forget if you can submit, but I donāt see why not.
Fuck that. No money? Why fo it?
