Further, I should note that pulling works well with pushing (Tulak). Pushing (Tulak) and pulling complement each other quite well. Both can be used to off-balance an opponent, allowing you to counterstrike. Furthermore, pulling or pushing depends on your opponent’s size and energy. Please note that, in the context of Modern Arnis, both pushing and pulling are best done on the outside. What does that mean? If you guessedfootworkyou got it!

Back From Another Break

As hinted at in my previous post, I travelled to the UK with my wife to visit my sister-in-law for a week. Let me tell you, that was a much-needed break from my lifting routine after 9 weeks. I returned to it early this morning, and it felt good to be back in the gym. Before I went to the gym, I weighed myself this morning and was pleased to see that I hadn’t gained any weight. All that said, I have a long way to go before meeting my goal of160 lbs and 60 push-ups by my 60th.” The most challenging thing is getting my weight down to 160. Stay tuned!

Anyway, while in the UK, I witnessed the Northern Lights. Talk about spectacular!
