Anton and I taught our first Tuesday evening KBLA class tonight, and it went really well. Unfortunately, the neighboring houses weren't quite as enthusiastic... around 8:00 a police officer pulled up to make sure we had the proper permits, etc., and we suspect this resulted from a phone call from one of the neighbors who circle the park we held the training session in.
The officer then started to ask us questions about kettlbell training, wondering if we thought the 20kg was too heavy for him to start with, etc...it turns out he had attended the victim training session with his daughters at the UCLA RKC, and has corresponded with Dr. Cheng a couple times.
Strange how often Los Angeles seems like a small town. :)
Nailed a great PR prior to class:
6 MPs on the left with the 20kg!
I'll definitely have the 24kg press goal met on Sunday. As for the 28kg press on the right... progress does not seem as good there, the single 24kg press is still a challenge, so I'll have to work that a bit more. Even cleaning the 28kg tonight didn't feel nearly as strong as I hoped.
After class, did some padwork with Anton and one of our KB attendees (until a neighboring old lady told us it was too noisy...at 8:45pm. So, we may have to use a different location, after all.)
The boxing practice was fantastic, though - Anton, thanks again - is there anything you can't do???
195 x 1 x 9 205 x 1 225 x CLOSE! 205 x 1 20kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups
40, 30

What a great day! Moved my grip and my stance back in. Concentrated on
pushing UP on the bar un takeoff and then decided, during warmups, to pause

Comp the officer and invite him & his daughters to train with you guys.
That's the HardStyle handshake.
What about working on Ocean, just south of San Vicente instead of 7th?
You even gotta watch out for 5-0 when Kettlebellin' in this town. Damn.
Great seeing you guys tonight. Thanks again, we had a blast, and Miss Montrose was quite pleased having performed her first non-"naked" TGU under your kind guidance.
Kettlebell's a great tool to make friends in law enforcement society?
Did you mention Anton's dad's a Police as well?
Matsushita-san's probably got the BEST comment here!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
Sifu,
We're definitely considering that - the only real downside is less parking availability - people might have to walk quite a ways with their KBs... But as of now it seems like a better alternative. Maybe we'll give that a try next week and see how it goes. :)
Spencer, thanks so much for making it out - we loved having you guys. Make sure Sharon practices, even "naked," to get that knee-to-hand movement grooved in. :)
LOL, Taikei....
Well, at least it was an adventure. And as for Matsushita-san's comment ... omoshiroi desu!
:)
Strong work Nikki!
Hey i want to see you TGU the Bulldog! I know you can do it
Nice story Nikki. Congrats to your new PR and the many more to come in the future!
Thank you, Farmer John RKC!
Ha, Adam... well, do I appreciate your faith in me! :P
I've got to nail this @#$% 24kg pullup before any more TGU extremes. Priorities. :)
