[Alpine, Texas. Wal­king up Han­cock Hill ear­lier this eve­ning. Part of my new trai­ning regime etc.]

Anthony Arrigo, my old Kung-Fu buddy from my time in New York is in town for a few days. He’s got­ten me back on the wagon. Long story. Watch this space etc.

P.S. Today was seriously the har­dest wor­kout I’ve had in years…

    Awe­some!

    What style? I’ve been lear­ning fujian white crane for about a year and a half now.

    Dude! That’s ace.

    Now it’s just a small hop over into the world of Bra­zi­lian Jiu Jitsu :)

    Kund fu is a hard­core wor­kout, great way to keep fit and in a good mindest.

    I’m doing a mix of Ju Jitsu and Wing Chun…

  5. That’s some seriously awe­some pho­to­graphy up there. Love the kung fu vibe too.

  6. Hey ever­yone

    Hugh is doing Wing chun, Shao­lin and Bra­zi­lian Jiu jitsu. Mixed with pure fit­ness trai­ning that inc­lu­des but is not limi­ted to run­ning up the moun­tain every mor­ning. Good times. Plus some adjust­ments to his diet. He will be fit to fight soon enough lol

  7. Good for you — I took up Kung Fu about 4 years ago and it has given me back my fit­ness and taught me so many good things. And I still find new things in Siu Nim Tao.

    Good for you, Hugh. Put those Fei­yue shoes to work ;)

  9. I’ve been seriously con­si­de­ring mar­tial arts for a while now, but I don’t know if I can make the time com­mit­ment to really make it effec­tive. The plan right now is to start when I get out of the Navy. Anyone know anything about Southern Pra­ying Man­tis Kung Fu? There’s an aca­demy in my home­town of St. Louis.

    Exce­llent stuff. It’d be great to have you as a guest at our club if you ever have your ways by Manches­ter Hugh. Believe you me…there are many CDF’s there :)

  11. Your by no means to old to start your Mar­tial Arts Trai­ning, yet you do have to don’t for­get at our age your body takes lon­ger to recoup.
