Place heavy bag on floor, put on gloves, and set timer for 10 minutes. Get on floor beside bag and shrimp away from bag 5 times. Shrimp back. Get up and punch the air 5 times. Splay with forearms to the bag, pop up, and repeat four more times. After 5th splay, mount the bag and strike 10 times as hard as you can. That’s one set. Do as many sets as you can before the timer beeps.

Cabal Fang, Rising

Third_WaveThe Order of the Third Wave, an order of Cabal Fang, has just formed in New Zealand.  If you are in the Palmerston North area,  and you’re interested in practicing Cabal Fang martial arts, get more info here.

This is a big day for Cabal Fang and for me.  I get several inquiries a year from people thinking about starting clubs, but few actually make a go of it.  Fewer still stick with it for more than a few weeks or even go to the trouble of creating a presence online.  The Order of the Third Wave has already proved itself to be made of stiffer stuff.

cf_PIC_pngFor my readers who aren’t familiar with Cabal Fang, she’s the martial art I officially gave birth to in 2009.  I’ve written two books about her, and there’s nothing else like her.  It takes a special kind of person to practice Cabal Fang, and an especially strong and brave person to start on order.  Why?  Because in Cabal Fang there are no gurus or instructors, only elders and friends.  Each student of Cabal Fang is in charge of his or her own education.  There is no one to tell you what to do, nobody to write a curriculum for you, no belt system to rank you, no uniform to set you apart.  You have to bite your mouthpiece and wade in with courage.

Cabal Fang is my baby.  The formation of the Order of the Third Wave is a big step for her.  It’s like putting your child on airplane to New Zealand.  You want her to go and have fun, but you’re a tad nervous about her flying alone for the first time.

But you know what?  I think she’s going to be fine.  She’s a powerful young woman, and she’s in good hands.

Thirty-Aught-Six Workout

wpid-20150122_081928.jpgI just finished this workout a half hour ago and my arms are still so rubbery it feels funny to be typing.  Enjoy.

The Thirty-Aught-Six Workout is in two halves.  First half is calisthenics with added chains for weight.  Second half is on the heavy bag.

Chains Half: Set timer to beep every 30 seconds.  Put a chain around your neck that weighs about 15% of your bodyweight and start timer.  Do as many Push-ups as you can until the beep, then as many Squats as you can until the beep, then as many Lunges as you can (while pressing the chain overhead) until the beeps, then rest until the beeps.  Repeat 5 more times for a total of 6 cycles (12 minutes).

Rest until your heart rate is under 100, then start the second half.

Heavy Bag Half: Set round timer for rounds of 1:30 with :30 breaks.  Punch and kick the bag with maximum sincerity for 1:30, and rest for :30.  Repeat 5 more times for a total of 6 rounds (12 minutes).
