For about ten years, I did Shotokan Karate and Ryu Kyu Kobudo (Okinwan weapons). In addition to the martial arts, we did Cardio Karate, and a weekly workout that was called "the Slam". We pulled the wavemasters out on the floor, got the cardio music rocking, and just worked technitqe on the bags.
We did the Amateru Athletic Union (AAU) tournament circuit, and it was a lot of fun. I guess I got spoiled being in a really good dojo all those years, because when I moved to Ohio, I just couldn't find that caliber of training locally. I found one that came close, but his last price jump priced me out of the dojo, especially since it was almost 50 miles each way.
I'd like to get back into training. I feel like a slug.
