Kung Fu Hillbilly vs. Sensei Luis

February 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Video Included: I’ve heard that we do “Mai Tai”, “Moo Tai” and of course “It’s Kickboxing just with elbows and knees”. As much as these drive us crazy, we do not get teased as much as our Kung Fu, Karate and Tae Kwon Do bretheren. Sit back and take in the educational lesson and confrontation with the Kung Fu Hillbilly…smile…you made it past Wednesday!

Motivation – No Excuses!

February 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Video Included: I’m supposed to say something witty to poke fun at that bed-wetting grade 5 inner voice that you argue with when deciding if you are going to train today. I’m also supposed to tie it back to the fact that the two of you, (your current voice and the bed-wetting grade 5 inner voice that you argue with), are the cause of you missing your fitness goals. After viewing this one…it would just be overkill…

In December 2012, when you look back at the year and compare your fitness goals to the things that were “so important”…will the mirror in front of you agree with  that bed-wetting grade 5 inner voice that you argue with when deciding if you are going to train today?

Get it done…no seriously…get it done.
