Training with the Master

I had the opportunity this week with Sensei Advincula, first student of Tatsuo Shimabuku, the creator on Isshin-Ryu Karate.

I was in San Diego for a conference and my Sensei (Jeremy) was kind enough to let me train with him.

We spent three hours on my katas (Seisan, Seiunchin, Naihanchi, Wansu, Chinto and Sanchin) and got out with a ton of notes on how to improve them and with a much deeper understanting of the why certain things work the way they do.

 

It has been an honor and a great experience, one-on-one training with a master of Isshin-Ryu it’s not something that happens every day.

 

Thank you Sensei Advicula and Sensei Jeremy!

 

XBox 360 Preorder

I preordered mine at Gamecrazy last week. Dropped 50 bucks for the right to get one before x-mas.

I preorderd the 399 version, with hard drive, wireless cotroller and all the rest. Stuff I’ll need and that would cost way more than $100 if bought separately. They had about 150 consoles pre-ordered and just 2 of them were core systems.

 

My HDTV is ready, I’ll probably get a basic receiver and speakers to enrich the sound experience. My mediacenter is eagerly waiting for the new extension. I added a 400mb hard drive for music, videos and whatnot.

All is set…

 

What are you waiting for?
