New Article up at MMA Weekly

My new article, "Generally Speaking", is up at MMA Weekly.

****************************

I recently received an email from a trainee who had bought my workout programs. He wanted to know if the workouts I'd designed would help him increase his kicking and punching power, as he trained in only kickboxing. (He's from Holland, and there isn't much, if any, MMA to be had there.)

The answer to his question was pretty simple, "Absolutely they'll help you increase your kicking and punching power."

Now, the reason for this is two-fold.

Today's Run (Interval Training From a Bruce Lee Workout)

Got a new set of shoes this past weekend, and went for a good run today to break them in. It was sort of a longer interval run. I actually got the simple circuit from a book about much of Bruce Lee's training programs:

-jog x 60 secs
-sprint x 30 secs
-walk x 60 secs
*repeat x 2.2 miles, finishing off the last 1/4 mile running as hard as possible

Great workout, had the heart pumping really hard, didn't take that long. This would be a great run to use in your Density Conditioning sessions, and would be great to use in your workouts from "Working Class Fitness - The Programs."

High School Wrestling Coach Needed!!!

Recently, my son's high school wrestling team lost their wrestling coach. Thus far, the search for a new coach has been fruitless.

If anybody knows of somebody that might be interested in being a High School wrestling coach (the person must also teach high school courses), and lives near Spring Lake, NC, please pass this onto them.

Any interested parties can contact Overhills High School at 910-436-1436 and ask to speak to the principal re the head wrestling coach position.

Or, you can contact me via my site, and I will do whatever I can to link the interested party up with the appropriate people at the high school.

Please pass this on! If the team can't find a coach, then Overhills High will have no wrestling team next year!
