  • My kendo sensei is one of the highest ranking in the states he used to travel to do seminars too, but I don't think his name/ rank/prestige has anything to do with what makes him a "great" to me.. He was 80 when I walked into the dojo, and he still put on him armor everyday to keiko with us. You could be fit and really…

  • Kendo and Shotokan. ShaolIn Kung fu as a kid, but apparently wasn't smart enough to remember the curvy stuff, so I stick to straight lines now. Would love to add grappling/ground at some point. Right now, I'm pretty useless once I'm on the ground.

  • He's getting good fast, its to you and your instructor's credit. Be proud... just don't let him know that yet, you know, to keep HIS ego in check.

I've fallen off the wagon of training and fitness and need to get fired up again. But I have to say, taking this time to get fit doing other things like…

  • On top of the media enforced body image issues that we all deal with when we look inward as women, we also deal with another factor of learned pretense when it comes to dealing with the outside world. “We teach girls shame: Close your legs; cover yourself. We make them feel as though by being born female, they’re already…
    in Those skinny friends who say you don't need to lose weight Comment by ariesflame June 2014
  • Add me. I put more weight into the exercise part of my log, as that keeps me on track to keep going. Calorie wise I will likely listen to my body first but I hover around the 1200 level, and I leave room for going out days/working lunches and some social drinking. 5'3 153lbs current routine is boot camp 4 times a week and…

  • Congratz! Glad you are excited for the race, its a fun one. I'm signed up for it too. Did my first half ever at Disneyland in 2012 and I'm glad I chose a Disney race for my first one. Disney Halfs are great because there isn't so much pressure and they do a great job of keeping you entertained between water stations so it…

  • I hope you find your courage to just do it. So many great stories here about folks just realizing we should just step out and do it, because its not about judgement from everyone else, its about how we feel.
