Product Review/Recommendation


So as many of you creatures of the night might have seen, there is a crazy guy who inhabits infomercial land by the name of Tony and his product is P90x.  This product works!  It is a definitely worth the astronomical price tag(which can be reduced some by shopping around)  As well as the equipment costs it will run you $150-250+ total, weights and everything, but there is no better workout routine to whoop your ass in to shape.

The best recommendation I can give anyone attempting this suicidal routine is to drag a buddy into it with you.  Personally I was drug into it by a guy who turned into a very close friend of mine, my Sensei Mike.  We worked out starting at 6:30 in the morning every morning to start with this summer, eventually moving the time back for both of our sanities.  The only downside to my summer of fun was I eventually contracted mono without realizing it, and had displayed the symptoms since the second week of the program without realizing it, and to think I was having such a hard time getting up in the morning >.<  I was unfortuneately not able to fully complete the program as I eventually had a lymphnode in my neck that swelled up to almost a ping pong ball size causing me difficulties eating and drinking.

Overall this program is not for the weak of heart, literally as well as physically, and it will push you to the edge of boundaries you never knew you had, then sparta kick you off the cliff.  I have recomended this to anyone who asks for a good work out program and have pushed it on my mother, my sister, my girlfriend, and bought a copy of it for myself.

Pictures from my previous rank test

This is just a small sample of the pictures that were taken during my 1st degree black belt rank test

Zero Hour:Post One

Welcome to the blog.  I have just created this in hopes of further sharing my journey through the martial arts with those who might find it interesting.  Feel free to comment, follow, and even email me as I am always willing to respond to pertinent questions about the martial arts.

For starters I am 20 years old, I have been studying Isshin-Ryu for about 4 years and this fall I will be ranking again for my next degree.

I am a student at UA in their liberal arts program and I might use this blog in order to gain further credits as the program I am in is very much an individualistic learning course based on independent study.

That is all for now as I am actually procrastinating and not studying for my test tomorrow like I should be doing.
