My hat is off the the people at Plum Dragon herbs! They are life savers!
I have been training in martial arts since I was 14 years old. (WOW, that means it has been 21 years. Insane.) At some point I was introduced to Dit Da Jow, and I learned that if you get the right recipe, this stuff really works. Most of the time I would receive bottles from friends who had their “family” recipe batches, and they would keep me pretty well stocked. (A little goes a long way) So picture this, I am getting ready to leave for the most intense training trip I have ever been on, and I AM OUT OF JOW! So, what to do?
I guess it is fitting that I get to do the 100th, especially after the day I have had. (Though Smurf really does deserve this prestigious spot, as she has nearly double the posts I do.)
Well, to my day. I got up this morning WAY early, I mean, 8:00am the day after the 4th of July. (Yilkes) I did this so I could be ready for the 1st day of a SAMBO seminar run by Igor Kurranoy. I expected a rough time, and it met every expectation I had. The first 2.5 hrs were all Jacket throws, and not soft pansy throws. Every throw was a bone jarring, rib cracking, body bruising, concussive slam to the ground. (I think I was thrown 300+ times today) Now, had I worked with anyone else, I may have gotten off easier, as a poorly executed throw can hurt, but a perfectly executed one is guaranteed to. So, I spent the entire day working with Serge Gerlach, the guy who is currently teaching me SAMBO. (Yeah, he is real good, and he doesn’t botch a throw often)
