RE: Exercise Everywhere #3: ROCK IT! Literally. Shoulders, Tendons, Connective Tissue, and Full Motion
Hey @itchykitten I did reply to your reply on you other video but for some reason it keeps not saving my comment so I'll reply here and also compliment you on another excellent video (definitely a natural). The martial art I used to do was/is (although I haven't trained for a couple of years) Tai-Jutsu. It was the martial art/close combat style used by the Samurai warrior. Many modern martial arts derive from it i.e Karate/Judo/weapons but they focus on just one aspect as it's an all encompassing style. Due to the nature of the fighting it's also not classified as a sport and once you reach a certain level you can only be graded in Japan (unless the board are in the UK). My instructor was only a small guy (but a 9th dan black belt) so I learned that you judge a book by it's cover at your peril :). Great exercises you're doing, we also used to do a fair bit of rope work i.e pulling rope in lots of different positions to increase strength, muscle. Keeep up the good work, a great series you're doing here.
thankyou again perceptual! lol, the strangest thing to me is my voice sounds so different on video then it does in my head..Tai-Jutsu eh? I don't know much any of the martial arts, but I'm sure I would like them. I'll have to lookup some rope stuff, that could be pretty wild. hahha, by the way I love your profile quote...I don't know how I didn't notice that before. Fucking Aldous man...
No problem @itchykitten and I know exactly what you're saying on the voice front! that's why I'm not yet brave enough to start doing videos :) I often think about the fact that we are the only ones in the world to perceive ourselves the way that we do. To view ourselves through someone else's eyes would be fascinating and indeed are we even the same person we see in the mirror/video? If we are the only one in the world to view a personal perception of ourself, then are we who we think we are or who the rest of the world thinks we are. A head scratcher I know lol .. Thanks for noticing and appreciating the quote, as my name also hints at I'm a big fan :)
Yeah, that's pretty weird to think about. Those little glimpses I do catch occasionally usually kinda freak me out :P There's a song that always sort of made me think about a similar thing
It's called Slow Pony Home by the Weepies.
The parts about the fingerprints and dust on the window between us =) Deb Talan is the gal, I love her lyrics too.
I know man,I sometimes like to go off on random thought processes :D .. Great song, thanks for introducing me! I will stick the headphones on and introduce myself to some more of their music.
there's nothing that feels so good a contently drifting through an idea...lol lately though I've been STEEMING through them with a little more pressure...i gotta start smoking more weed and chillin out
I know what you're saying .. I've taken a few days off the writing pressure and enjoyed a more relaxed approach and it seems to work better for me. Got a couple of good pieces coming up and weed is great way to lubricate the creativity :)
