Lots of stuff

Here are just a few of the things that I have doing since my last post.

I have been working on setting up several workshops all over the country. I have been rock climbing, skydiving, kettlebells on the beach, 1200 mile road trip, car accident and Geoff still owes me much $$$ for all the damn food I have ingested on my 18 week journey into his program.

A busy in a good way kind of life the last month. I will be home for a couple of months so I might be able to blog a bit more.

One last thing TEAM KILT, KILLED IT at the April RKC!!! Congrats to all my team for working so hard you are a welcome addition the the RKC family.

And one more thing I'm now on facebook.

Ohio workshop pictures

I'm Back

I'm back from my Northeast Ohio tour. Things are very different there, a bit more on that in the coming months. The workshop was a blast, I will post pictures soon. All that attended were great and worked very hard for the 4 hour ass kicking.

I also had time to meet up with several good friends and hang out and shoot the breeze. That is always fun to get the low down on everything since I was back last time. Always drama in a small town where everybody knows every one's business.

I did have a strange observation when landing in Cleveland. I realized that I felt like I was coming to visit and I didn't feel like I was going home. My home is in California, Ohio is where I go to visit family and friends. What a difference a year and a couple of months make.

The last few months have been the some of the most hectic and happy in as long as I can remember. I really feel like I'm hitting my stride and life is better than it has ever been.

Here we go.

Life has been very very nuts this week. It seems I have been going nonstop forever and There is little end in sight. I have managed to get a few fun things in there as well. Hit Six Flags for the first time since I moved out. It was great to unwind for a change. I also went to the Pan Am Jiu-jitsu tournament. I had several friends and clients competing. I'm happy to say that they all did really well and brought home several golds and silver medals. VERY COOL!!!

Next week I will be heading back to Ohio to put on a seminar. I will be leaving on Wednesday and coming back late Sunday night. So there will be no classes Wednesday night, Thursday or Saturday. The following week will be back to normal.

Z and Kettlebells

Last Friday night Senior RKC Sara Cheatham And I did a 3 hour workshop at Venice High School. It was all set up by fellow RKC and good friend Kirsten Farrell RKC. It is always such a good time teaching kettlebells. I still have moments where I can't believe that I'm a Senior RKC and that I do this for a living. What a sweet job! Changing peoples lives is a pretty crazy and ROCKIN' profession.

Here are some pictures from last Friday night. Fun was had by all

Comfort

Is life always comfortable and what does that mean??? I had this thought today as I headed home from my last class of the week at Gracie Barra Ventura.

The last year has been a tough one on me mentally and personally. Lots of things have changed some for the good and some not so good. In the end it is the uncomfortable situations that make you grow as a person. It wasn't easy to start all over again and be an unknown. I really had to suck it up and deal with it. As the days and months go by life is getting back to were it feels like it should be. I'm happy! All other things seem to fall in line once one part of your life comes together.

Workshops

I have been setting up a few workshops in the last few weeks. Here is what I have coming up.

March 20, Venice High School with Senior RKC Sara Cheatham. focus is Z health and tapping into your inner mutant.

Best cover ever

Gracie Family.

I have had the pleasure of hanging out with and taking a Jiu-jitsu seminar with Daniel Gracie. What a fun family to be around, happy and full of life. I learned a lot and this just makes me want to dive deeper into Jiu-jitsu. Why not, I have nothing else on my plate right now, except the 100 other things I need to get done.

If Daniel is anywhere in your area you need to go and meet him and train with him if the opportunity is there, you won't be disappointed.

On lighter notes

I have been working phase two of Sr. RKC Neupert's program and it is very different then the first phase, not the exercises but the rep schemes. It has put more of a strain on my nervous system than before, which is always fun. The workouts are brutal but still have a good flow.

I will say it again, it's nice to be able to grab two bells and look at what I have to do for the day and do it. I don't have to design anything "I just gonna do!" as said by Brazilians.
