Hello Hapkido Friends, We have a tremendous seminar coming up April the 27th. It's in Martinsburg, WV. For those of you who train with me at Yorktown that's only about four hours down the road. I realize for you international guys it's pretty darn far but if you were planning on being in the Eastern US around that time it would be well worth your time. Attached is the flyer with all of the details. The seminar is being hosted by our very own Mr. David Henry. It will be a fun filled Saturday with Grand Master, Senior Master, and Master level instruction, often you will get personal instruction as they generally walk around and help people individually. Grand Master Rodemaker is a very dynamic teacher and speaker and is always a joy to learn from. I strongly urge you to attend, you won't regret it!

Hello Hapkido Fans,
Tonight I've uploaded the final video for Green Belt. I may re-shoot and fine tune here and there but the base footage is in place. I hereby dub Green Belt to be complete. On to High Green! Enjoy, Jon Yesterday I uploaded a better same side S-lock video. The video above it was seven months older. The instruction is better in the new one and after seven months of focused practice my technique is also better. (I originally learned this lock decades ago.) Since the latest video is so much better than the original I've decided to pull the old one. However before I pulled the old one I took a screenshot of the two video's. I would like to point out that I am 25 pounds lighter in the new video than the old one. Regular Hapkido practice and eliminating wheat and dairy from my diet completely for the last three months has been good for me. I am still losing weight and on track for my target weight of 185 pounds. This stuff works folks! We used the swivl to shoot some video yesterday:

Next time I think I might try to conceal it in my sleeve so the device tracks my hands not my body. One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on Source Unknown...
I found the Pai Mei Diet to be largely un-sustainable and so I switched to the Bible diet. Some have called it the Paleo Diet. Here is my progress:
Calorie diet Today Breakfast 1/2 cup oatmeal = 83 TBSP Raisins = 40 TBSP Honey = 135 Cup Coffee = 2 tsp Non Dairy Creamer = 10 tsp Sugar = 16 Total 286 Lunch Can Tuna = 191 1 Apple = 116 2 Oranges Mandarin = 70 1/4 Cup Sunflower Seeds = 182 2 bottles Water = 0 Total 559 Dinner Though my breakfast and lunch are largely predictable, Dinner is always a random variable. I think this is okay because it allows me to socialize with the family and the dietary variety helps reduce cravings and round out any vitamin deficiencies. My only hard fast rule is that whatever is on the plate I do not eat anything derived from wheat or dairy. I often try to substitute from other sources. For example, on spaghetti night I’ll use brown rice in place of noodles. I also try to eat smaller portion sizes than I normally would and I avoid dessert altogether preferring to simply eat an apple or orange instead. I find that if I eat a salad prior to dinner and drink a bottle of water it helps reduce the amount of food I eat. I estimate that on average I consume about 700 calories for dinner most nights. Daily Caloric Intake (on average): 1,545 Weekly Caloric Intake (on average): 10,815 Monthly Caloric Intake (on average): 46,350 Daily Caloric Burn 8 Hours Sleeping = 549 10 Hours Sitting = 1520 1 Hour Hapkido = 600 (This is only three hours a week.) 1 Hour Walking = 400 2 Hours Chores = 680 2 Hours Lying (TV) = 240 Daily Total 3,989 Weekly Total 25,523 Monthly Total 102,092 Caloric Deficit Daily Deficit 2,444 (Best case on Hapkido Days) Weekly Deficit 14,708 (Assumes three hours of Hapkido) Monthly Deficit 55,742 The conventional idea that a pound of fat is roughly 3,500 calories is essentially flawed. The human body simply doesn’t work this way. However in lieu of a more realistic formula we’ll use it. Accordingly: Daily Fat Burn 69% of a pound or 313 grams of Fat Weekly Fat Burn 1400 grams or 3 pounds of Fat Monthly Fat Burn 5600 grams or 12 pounds of Fat Since starting my diet in November I have lost 22 pounds so surprisingly the conventional equation isn’t far off for me. |
