My Weekly Push for 2nd Dan- Eric Sams

 This week was a good one for me.  I feel that I am making progress toward being a teacher of martial arts and a leader. I still have a ways to go, but I am confident that I am on the path.My fitness is still not where I would like. It is not horrible, but its in need of improvement, as well as my flexibility. I still long to do the splits, but not sure I will get there.  But I…See More

My weekly push for 2nd Dan.

It's the day after the sparring class, I had so much fun and learned tons. I have quite a bruise on my right foot by my big toe. It seems to be a little better than yesterday. The foot is a little sore so I will be taking it easy Monday. I hope to come to class Tuesday. It has been hard to get to class sometimes with work being unpredictable, I am still motivated to move forward. I am not sure if I can make…See More

My weekly push for 2nd Dan.

Wow last week was an eye opener. I have started using Goji Berry juice to help with my overall health and well being. It seems to be working, I am pretty excited about that. I had so much fun in class last week. Thank you KSN Olbando for coming and working out. I hope to see you more.  I rode my mountain bike this week end out at Tiger Mtn. to have fun and gauge where my fitness is for the season. I did very well, better than expected really. That makes me really motivated for the year ahead.…See More

Weekly blog about my push for 2nd dan.

Hello again, I got a little dinged up last week. I managed to injure my right shoulder and left knee. How I have no idea. They both hurt like crazy.  They are both feeling much better as I write this so I don't think it is anything bad. The swelling in my knee is almost all gone and the pain in my shoulder is almost gone as well. I haven't taken Advil since Monday so I am clearly on the mend. I am puzzled how I got hurt in the first place. I didn't do anything unusual, I just can't figure it…See More

Weekly blog about my push for 2nd dan by Eric Sams

I am  little late posting this one, sorry about that. Things are a little busy at work this last week. I had a good week of training, the workshop we had Wednesday was so much fun. I know I have a lot to learn with weapons, but I am hungry for knowledge.  My mother in-law earned her black belt in Hap Ki Do Saturday. Go mom! I find that so inspirational.  That means that I need to keep focused on my goal of 2nd…See More

My weekly push for 2nd Dan.

I am moving forward with my training and all is well. I had so much fun with the self defense workshop, I know we all had fun. Hopefully we will get some more new students from it. I have really been enjoying class lately and I can hardly wait to go back.  My motivation is still very high. As long as I stay healthy and my job doesn't interfere to much I hope to stay on schedule. I spent a little extra time with a student last night and had a blast. Teaching really has got a hold on me and I am…See More
