2009 Here We Go

Posted by admin on 9th January 2009

I hope this finds everybody feeling great and ready for a brand new year of training.

The winter holidays have flown by and much food and drink was consumed. One of the Xmas gifts that I bought for myself was Martin Rooney’s book Training For Warriors. I’m aiming at doing a review of it shortly.

2009 is looking to be an absolutely huge year for me with the move back to Australia, work as a personal trainer and (drumroll) the birth of my first child. On top of that I am looking at study and doing some martial arts classes (I will be teaching some and I want to continue my own studies.) With all of this on my plate, I may be doing a series of posts on training with very limited time.

I hope everybody had a great Xmas and New Year and that 2009 is an absolute ripper.

Sumo – The Big Men of Japan

Posted by admin on 26th July 2008

On Thursday I went to the Sumo tournament held in Nagoya. Although most Rikishi (Sumo wrestlers) are carrying more fat than I would like to carry, they are very big, very strong and surprisingly flexible men. Sumo may have a lot of ritual but when the match starts the Rikishi go hard.

The big guys hit hard.

Although you might not want to look like a Rikishi, they have certainly developed ways to build a lot of muscle mass while maintaining some amazing agility and flexibility. If you ever visit Japan, a visit to a Sumo tournament should be on your to do list.
