Sorry it took so long to get the rest of the form done, but here's the next installment in the 3rd Degree Black Belt Weapons form!
I did this so my students will have a solution to the "training resource" in the 3rd Degree DVD. I wanted them to get tips on how to make it better, not just a moves list. As you get better, my students will have to compete with your abilities. The people that watch these videos, I believe, will be the best Jahng Bong competitors in the world.

Cross Train, Train, Work out with someone else, whatever you wanna call it
In 2011, it will be the fourth year training with Haganah founder Mike Lee Kanarek. He is a true leader. I've done most of the classes that are in the Haganah system and they have been awesome - I understood the importance of knowing these things but they were also FUN. In Columbia, MD, I did one of the first Combat Fitness classes around. We had to run about 2/3 of a mile and when it was time to go he said, "Follow me!" That sounds kinda of insignificant, but it was awesome!
He first taught me when I trained with him in 07 that you must cross train. Even though he had his favorite martial arts to train in, he said that you can get something out of every style. So as a martial arts athlete, I'm constantly thinking about self defense, sparring, and a ton of other things martial arts related. The thing is, doing a kettlebell class, XMA class, or a gymnastics class will help you in some way. Kettlebell training is something that has become huge and it helps build functional strength in all sports and activities. Gymnastics athletes are among the most fit and strong in the world (Strength is measured by how strong you are compared to your body weight). XMA class is all about performance - Bruce Lee was an amazing martial artist but what made him famous was his showmanship. Also, someone who has mastered a martial arts trick (like one from HYPER Martial Arts) can achieve a goal in ANYTHING.
So in about 2 weeks I'm going up to Mr. Stuart's Martial Arts to train with MLK again and I'm so excited. Last year I went and I had 2 hours of sleep and was sick - but I wouldn't miss it for the world. Out of all the typing you may have just read or skimmed through just take this with you - you should take something from everything you do. Try new things as often as possible even if at first it seems silly or unimportant because it will make you better somehow. Check out the video below of Ms. Wallace-Holubyckyj and I training with MLK in Columbia, MD in Combat Fitness (We won... if you know what that means!)

Dedication Camp: A Hyper Training Event
Today the kids came in to work on their skills and learn about Dedication!
They worked on basic kicks like Side Kick, Round Kick, Skip Front Kick, and Shuffle Axe. Then we worked on more advanced kicks like Pop 360 Round Kick, Tornado kick (and Tornado Touchdown), Spin Hook Kick (and Autobahn), and Butterfly kick.
At the end, some students put their kicks into combination and the other group of kids worked on the next level of butterfly kick: The butterfly twist. It was really cool because Barry got better at his Butterfly kick, Cody learned what a B-Twist should be, and Angus actually landed a B-Twist with me spotting.
Everyone seemed to have a great time and my favorite part was when they filled out their goals sheets on the back of their posters. I love camps like this!

Crazy Weekend!
This weekend Mr. Morgan invited me down to Washington D.C. to help support Hyper Martial Arts. It was a lot of fun because I got to talk to people about Hyper, which is short for "High Performance" and it's goal to give recognition to youth martial arts and martial arts athletes everywhere. It was really cool and I had a great time meeting new people and hanging out with Mr. Morgan
On Friday, we had a big Bully Defense seminar. My students invited a bunch of their friends and everyone learned the best ways to deal with bullies and how to become a better person, a champion for life. I really like teaching these seminars because bullying is something that affects a lot of kids and even teens and adults. If we can touch the lives of kids that feel like they can't do anything about bullies and teach them how to deal, I would feel so proud. I'm on a mission now to teach this course to as many kids in Cecil County as possible. I'm doing a mass bully defense course for all the kids at the Boys & Girls clubs in Cecil County next month too!
Saturday, Mike Chat came to New Jersey and 7 ATA Elkton members went up to train with him. That's pretty impressive because we all came from about 2-1/2 hours away. Training with Mr. Chat is so worth it because he's trained some awesome martial artists over the years. Taylor Lautner and Boo Boo Smith from the Twilight series trained in XMA with him, Jaden Smith prepared for The Karate Kid with Mr. Chat, and Noah Ringer became famous for the XMA training he got at his martial arts school in Texas. He was super inspiring and the class was really fun. We learned what it was like to go up a level and to perform at "Level 10" all the time! Really cool

Combat Fitness at Max Muscle
Today was the hardest workout of my life, brought to me by Mike Lee Kanarek. He is the founder of the reality self defense system called Haganah and the other subdivisions. One of them is called F.I.G.H.T. (fierce Israeli guerrilla hand-to-hand tactics) which is hand-to-hand combat, gun threats and disarms, how to deal with a knife attack or threat, and also how to survive a fight when it hits the ground. Others include how to fight with knifes and tactical firearm shooting. While I've only dipped in the shallow end of the FIGHT system, one thing that MLK offers is a workout called Combat Fitness.
Combat Fitness he says is the "ammo" to your arsenal of fighting. Whatever your style of martial arts is, you need to have the stamina and endurance to last in a fight and Combat Fitness is the answer. The goal of the workout is to reach that threshold of endurance right before you actually pass out or faint. Well, I made it there. It was during the last 5 minutes of the workout that I really had to push and make it through. It was extremely challenging and I loved it.
You might be seeing Combat Fitness at ATA Elkton soon but for now, come and try our ATAfit class. I'd like to thank Ms. Holubyckyj for coming with me and lasting the whole workout too! She got to "Roar with the Lions!!"
