July 26, 2024: One year ago!

I still can’t believe I won the World Championships, and in all places, at the Philippines! The amount of time and training that it took to prepare was insane; and it’s even taken me almost a year to recover. I’ve definitely slowed down the intensity of my conditioning and training since I came back from the championships, and now I’m finally starting to ramp it up again. What was once a goal I thought I couldn’t attain years ago I was now able to achieve! Pugay Po (Salute) 🙏🏼🤙🏼👊🏼

The Grind…

It’s one thing to keep drilling, but it’s another world when you actually pressure test and spar. Senior students and instructors sparring with no armor with live stick to padded stick to Espada y Daga and double knives. New students full armor.

Held our First Annual FMA/Kajukenbo Collaboration taught by G**o/Sigung Carlos, G**o Viko Perrone, and myself (G**o Chris). It was a great turnout and we showcased different FMA styles from the close quartered fighting style of Balintawak Cuentada, to the sword and bladed arts of Kalis Ilustrisimo to the empty hand applications of Kajukenbo and to the fast fluid arts of stick and blade of Alpha Doce Pares. It was a long day but everyone had fun and took away some skilllset and knowledge each style. Thanks to everyone who gave us their time and thanks to my fellow G**o’s teaching their respected art, thank you to my students who helped the other attendees and thank you to Sensei .mayo for using the school for the seminar!

Started the day doing “The Murph” hero workout. Every Memorial Day me and several friends do this workout not just to challenge ourselves and each other but to also in our own way pay tribute to all the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country 🇺🇸. “The Murph” was one of the workouts Lt. Michael “Murph” Murphy would do as part of his conditioning regimen. He made the ultimate sacrifice in 2005 and this workout was made as tribute to him.

Details of the workout:

*wearing a 20 lb. vest (also optional to not wear it)*

1 mile run
100 pull-ups
200 pushups
300 squats
1 mile run

*My Time: 54:41:44*

This was actually .07 faster than last year.

Although the time doesn’t matter, the process of the workout itself is much more significant. So for folks expecting to go through “the suck,” enjoy it and cheer each other on and just stay focused. Take your breaks if you need it and keep pushing through! Have a great Memorial Day Weekend 🇺🇸 🙏🏻.

Working the Form Specific Stretches that forms the basis of Animal Flow. Coach who is our Corrective Exercise Specialist and Animal Flow instructor has been guiding and coaching me through these past few months with this movement discipline. Unfortunately due to my wrist injury I was limited in practicing it for a month. Now I’m just reviewing and conditioning myself for next week’s seminar. I still feel sloppy with it but hopefully with more practice, I can flow better and be better over time.

A small look at my shoulder routine. There’s a misconception that shoulders are often isolated, however folks don’t realize that you rely heavily on your core muscles for stability in order to perform these routines. Also these moves aren’t necessarily for rehab but for strength and conditioning, although some of the moves here can be applied for rehab. I have a long way to go and I may not be perfect especially with my overhead press moves (I have an extra thoracic/midback extension towards the end of my sets) but that’s why I myself also need to incorporate mobility work which I’ll show soon.

1. Varying grip changes per side while walking for 30 seconds: I start off with a walking press then switch to a rack carry then to a suitcase carry and then switch to the other side. Do this for a total of 4 sets.

2. The standing military press is an old school weight lifting routine that never gets old. I typically use a barbell with my feet together starting with the barbell in a rack position then carefully press overhead. Make sure your elbows are in that 45 degree position parallel to your shoulder blade.

3. Arnold press is another old school weight lifting routine where you start with the dumb bells in a rack position than internally rotate your shoulders as you press overhead. Also make sure to keep your elbows at that 45 degree position parallel to your shoulder blades.

4. Next is the lateral raises. With this my shoulders are in that 60 degree position parallel to your shoulder blades to avoid any shoulder injuries.

5. Bent over reverse flies. Similar to the lateral raises but make sure to hinge by the hips and tighten your core with your chest out.

6. The last one has been one of my recent favorites is the Landmine University Reverse Lunge Press.

Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, and Safe Holiday! Here’s to a season of Joy and Healing!

Two weeks from my left hip/groin injury and I’m over 90% better and recovered. So much that I can finally go from a jog to a faster pace run to even execute kicks on the heavy bag (although probably close to 70% on that and still feel sloppy but there’s progress). As I always preach and lead by example, if you’re injured, seek the proper healthcare intervention soon: I have faith and trust on my own team at my office that I received the necessary hands on treatment such as Active Release Techniques to the prescribed mobility work and stretches then to gradual loaded and resistance work. Active rest is the key meaning you NEVER bed rest an injury. Keep active but also refrain from any overloaded movements and DO the prescribed care plan from getting that necessary hands on treatment to allow the proper changes and healing to your homework in rehab exercises. Soft tissue injuries average 6-8 weeks of healing however I’ve seen may folks who have prolonged injuries because of their non-compliance for their own recovery. In the beginning it may be hard and some discomfort but if you’re like me who puts in the work, the recovery and healing process can be much faster!
