sensei

I do muy thai, kickboxing and boxing. Most of the workout should be cardio in nature. I did spar a bit 2 weeks after surgery but I had on a big muy thai ab sheild. I had no problems. Kicking was interesting (abs are sued a bit in high kicks and rotation). Doc said after 2 weeks cardio is fine and after 1st month go for it. I still haven't done an ab workout or grappling yet. I want to see how things go and start slow. Since the holidays are here I'll probably wait till after the 1st.

Just putting in a post. I was banded on November 18th. Made it through Thanksgiving without too much of a problem. I was still a little sore so I wasn't that hungry.

20 so far. I went from 295 to 275. I am supposed to have my first fill on the 22nd. Right now I can pretty much eat anything...I just chew like crazy. Can't wait for the fill though. I feel like I'm on a diet again.

Hey Snowman...ever hear of Limalama?

I have been doing several martial arts. I was banded on Nov 18th. I started working out again, mostly weights and oblique twists and stuff like that. I went to the new boxing gym by the house...one of my past students is teaching MMA there. I've been training with him for several years now. Anyway, yesterday Dec 4th, i sparred for the first time since being banded. I wore the big muy thai abb pad and it went well. One of the guys thought I was wearing it so he could practice his knees. Good thing he was new and not very good with the knees! I train in Limalama, Aikido, and still do some Shotokan. Mostly MMA now though. I haven't done any aikido yet. Still a little cautious. I have a seminar in January that I'm going to try and make. We'll see how it turns out.
