Cap's HALLOWEEN FACTS #1,2,3

 WARNING! One of my 3 viewers may be offended by these scary facts...so DO NOT READ ON!

 (I Warned You...)

 
1. The term Witch acctually comes from the first transgender women who were born with...man parts and the New England Tea Party Villagers chased them out of town screaming, "Uuunatural! Which one is it, man or woman?" And then of course all the male Right-Wing senators and Pony Express Evangalists "had relations" with them in public restrooms (secretly promising them equal time on dance shows though never intending to carry out their promises). When caught the Preachers' and Senators' wives called them something else... (Burnt at the stake used to have a different meaning as well.) ...Mixing "Wich" with the term for a female dog and we got: "Sarah Palin" which was later shortened to "Witch."

Muuuhahahahaha! Are you scared? I am. This WITCH was very close to being in the White House.

       2. "Trick or Treat?" came from an unpublished Hans Christian Anderson tale he wrote after drinking too much "spooky" punch at the Brother's Grimm Halloween Bash: His drunken fable was entitled: "TorT?" and was about two squirrel prostitutes--one had stored nuts, the other a lazy eye and they would knock on the doors of Racoon businessmen and ask, "Trick or Treat?"

(Lose-lose either way back then.)

        3. Wearing Costumes came from Roman times: the tradition was put forth so Roman Governors and Senators could wear their fish-nets and pasties in public once a year.

Happy Halloween... CAP

Seminar at City WingTsun w Sifu Haw

A rousing good time in NYC at the seminar with Sifu Haw. My first trip in to the Wing Tsun school in NYC was tons of fun. Sifu Haw and a cast of others turned out to show us CT. Wing Tsun-ers a really good time! Much education and socialization. Many new friends and techniques learned and made. "The circle is not complete without others to help you connect the dots." Seeing through other master's eyes is a wonderful thing. I am a babe in the woods in the Wing Tsun world and to learn from the best of the best (other than my teacher who is in Hong Kong training to bring us back even more goodies) is quite an honor. No other words to describe it than an HONOR. Hope to see all of you again soon. Big shout out to my Si Jei Nichole! My dear friend (from last seminar as well) who lead me through the snow back to the train, as well as broke bread with me at lunch in the city. Hope we get to train together more next time I see you. Tien and Ming and Dallas and the others...thanks for training with me. Si-Hing Jimmy and Dom and Si Jei Carol and Si-Dai's Tyler and Po-Po Joe thanks for playin. Sifu...rousing good time, school is awesome. You made us all feel so at home. Love the new banner!  Thanks for having me and I hope to see you out there flipping with Eugene and I! Anyone from City Wing Tsun wants to come down to Stamford, CT...please feel free to tag along with Eugene or give me a shout. Love to have you. Hope everyone made it home in the snow. All the best to the "Spirits of Wing Tsun" as well for all the insights... Cap.

Human Body: Pushing the Limits and THE HUMAN WILL

If you haven't seen this video: Human Body: Pushing the Limits on the Discovery Channel...you should. Very interesting commentary on the Human Eye and Human Strength potential. Great special effects, cross-cuts of the human body etc. Most of the body's emergency potential is driven by an intricate dance of Mind and Body and millions of years of evolution and is only released in deadly situations. As all kids are (yes, I am still a kid) and athletes of all kinds we are fascinated with unleashing this stored potential during our normal athletic everyday. "Hulking Out" as it were. I have found in my years of training that many factors can have profound effects on performance and amping up to meet challenges. Music, diet, training, but the best tool to find deep reserves is the mind--for me anyway. It is gathering will like a super pill in the mind and then "willing" yourself to the task: ie. dead lifting 500lbs. Power Cleaning 315lbs. running a 4.5 40 yard dash, lifting the Atlas stone, sparring in Martial Arts, etc. Fury and rage are not enough, you need focus, and discipline and a "big pair" as we like to say. The big pair is really just will. The will triggers the brain to unleash body potential on command as it does instinctually in a life-or-death situation. Just getting in the saddle is part of the equation, stepping under the weight as we say for a squat; stepping under 500 pounds, putting it on your back and stepping away from the safety of the rack. But then upon feeling that grat mass pressing you, trying to force you into oblivion, you have to focus your fear and adrenaline into will and squat down, knowing the weight could easily blow your knee caps off--and then press the weight back up. Awesome. Liberating. The Atlas Stone requires slapping "tacky” on your hands and arms: a glue like substance: and bending down in an impossible position and then lifting a massive round cement and rebar stone off the ground. The process is not only muscle and mental intensive but tears the skin off of your arms and stomach and legs. Big Pair exercise. Will. Maybe focused insanity too, but it truly makes you feel alive. The will to put yourself in a situation that normally the body only wants to happen a few times in your life...it stores magnitudes of energy for just such emergencies. But that is just the body trying to survive--Genes trying to protect themselves in order to procreate and spread. Your Body-Mind. But we are more than the Body-Mind. We exist separate from that creature and yet are a part of it as well. We are the driver of the car, and this driver likes the excitement of what I can push my body-mind to do. Okay, go have a sam'mich and consider what makes you feel alive. Consider if you are living to your fullest. If your car is driven by a desire to see all the sights...or you are just a passenger on someone else’s ride.

Lou Ferrigno was the original Hulk...he was deaf and a world champion bodybuilder and TV Star...Serious Will. (Yes Jones, I know what Arnold did to him in the Arnold movie: Pumping Iron. Arnold's a bit of an arse.)
