I know this can happen because it happenned before and here is the proof that you ALWAYS should be prepared for anything.

We decided to train at my place today , Micke knocked at the door and I came to open  the door when he jumped on me and attacked me, we sparred all the way into the living room and the training room and he shouted all the time “defend yourself !!!”

In the training room I found myself thrown against the wall and the heavy bag then on the floor. I did my best to not panik and do everything I can to keep myself standing while trying to hit him and take myself off his grip.

Well the adrenaline was high and even if I could not do much when at the end the big wall of 107kgs was sitting on me , I did not loose my focus , I fought until I could not breathe anymore ( because of the heavy weight sitting on me !!! 🙂  )

well this is an experience and the good thing is that , this is life, this could happen anytime, the question is how do you react in this situation ? I think this is good to practise this

after that we moved on to the heavy bag for some punches and kicking

we worked the JKD pole and the wristroller

it was around 35 degres today , makes the training even harder , but no one is complaining !

I am thinking about all that happenned the last few months. When I talked about facebook to Micke he strongly said NO, but as good a student I am , I did not listen to him for this matter 🙂 and finally 6 months after, I persuaded him.

I believe  it is necessary for us to be seen, and especially for Micke to be recognized for the great fighter he is. We have evolved as a group, together for four years now, we all need some work of course but we have been  giving it a 100% and we are better now than we ever were before and this is  thanks to a great trainer.

I felt I needed to do something in return and facebook in my opinion is a great way. I managed to get in contact with some great JKD people. At the beginning, Jari Nyman from Spain immediately helped me establishing some contacts and then I got to be friend with  instructors like Bob Landers from Tulsa USA who has openned the door to even more, like the Ted Wong JKD Forum. I am very grateful for the help and without facebook, this would not have happenned.

I also started a group,  as I wrote previously: The “Ted Wong JKD Group Sweden”. I wanted our JKD friends to know about our group, my trainer, my training partners,  and me. I upploaded almost all our training videos and some of our best pictures.

I strongly believe we have a high quality level but somehow nobody or few  knew we even existed and I think this is a waste,  especially for Micke.

But this is about to change, we got some great feedback from our friend Luigi Clemente in Italy for exemple and more JKD people are asking to be members everyday, this is a succes and I am so happy .

We are the ONLY Authorized Ted Wong JKD Group in Sweden and we : Micke, Coshe, Michel, Remy and Gina, are all working hard to get this level even higher!

This is for us, for Bruce, for Ted.

…. Of Michel !!!!!

yesterday over 30 degrees outside in the sun,

Micke and I  started :

– All kicks on focus mitts

– Micke is moving and changing the position of the mitts : react with the correct kick and distance .

– light sparring using only kicks

– sparring using it all

All of a sudden someone we know is approaching : Michel !!!..

Great to have you back Michel 🙂

I just feel I need to mention the funny comment from Michel when Micke says he weigh 107kgs ( it was 103 before) and Michel asks : ” you lost some weight? ” 

Good one Michel ! I had  a feeling you were going to pay for this later  🙂

..

Michel started to run to warm up as I went on sparring with Micke.

Then we practised  punches on focus mitts

. straight lead, cross, hook, corkscrew hook

. Jab with drop step ….  OK this one needs some work !

Seems very easy when Micke is doing it, ( 107kgs and he looks as light as a fly in his movements, I just can´t believe it , I am 50kgs and feel as heavy as an elefant,  go figure !  yeah yeah I know:  FOOTWORK !!!! …)  

Then we go on with sparring,

Michel and I first

and then Michel and Micke.

After a heavy session we decided to go run the stairs , OH NO !!! says Michel …

OH Yes !!!  but only I did it..

I ran down again and  around the hill Michel and Micke had started to run up the slope on te back side, I followed  but we all stopped in the middle…

As I went down again and noticed only Micke followed, we had lost Michel somewhere in the grass …

A few minutes later Michel reappeared all white in the face and we understood he had some pucking time up there , and as this was not enough he was also biten by a horse fly …

Mickes comment , yeah this is real training !
