I was there for the navy. It was a rather insane time. Here is a quick summary of what happened: friends hijacked in Manila, met the president, along with friends I was detained by police and interrogated, fell out of motorcycle side car, won a lot of money at casino, 90kph back of jeepney hanging onto the rail not inside, left in jungle in middle of nowhere, drank mojo and was terrible at karaoke.

I never trained in martial arts but did train in hand to hand combat and have been boxing for over 20 years. I'll definitely check it out thanks.

wowwww! that's crazy! You have a lot of memories in the Philippines. You should write a post about your experience. :)) And also, good thing you didn't fall when you're hanging at the back. only ninjas can do that. lol!

Boxing is also my sport. Been doing it since 2013. :))

I might as it would be a long ass post...lol. The jeepney driver thought it was funny to pull off going as fast as he could before my friend and I got in. It was so bad...lol. We had to hang on like that for about 15 minutes.

In my eyes training as a boxer makes for the perfect workout. Not sure if you're a speed rope fan but I usually take one with me to use midway through distance runs.

15 minutes felt like forever when you're hanging outside the jeepney rails. lol

That's true! Boxing indeed is a great workout if you want to have abs! I'm not good at jumping ropes. But when I was in Thailand, I did a slot of that when I was training Muay Thai. :))

When I was in Pattaya Beach I'd watch the kickboxers there and can say it is terrifying yet exciting to know that some people have such power in their legs. I've seen kickboxing before but I guess their training makes for something altogether different.

Yeah rope training sucks in the beginning but once you get the hang of it you burn through calories sooooo fast. I like it as an alternative to running at times because putting a lot of miles on your body is just so damaging.

I have a lot of legs power too. My coach said my upper body is weak but my lower body can crack open a big door made of Oak. Lol! I haven't been to Pattaya. I heard lotsa lady boys there. I'm curious how they look. Hopefully not as bad as Kate Jenner. JK! :))

Rope training is not for me because it's hard to carry the 2 coconuts infront of me. Kinda heavy. lol! But thanks for the tips. I might try give it a try again so I can burn calories super fast. :))

If you hadn't already I'd recommend using bands to strengthen your upper body. I say bands because regular weight are too restrictive. Also, when it comes to bands you get what you pay for as some will snap and can hurt like hell when they break. I use bodylastics as you can scale up or down in weight as you want.

Yeah I've got pretty strong legs too. I can leg press 454kg cold. Never thought it was a big deal until one day I had a lot of people gathered around me watching...lol.

As for the lady boys a lot of them look like girls but will have the slightest male mannerisms. So for the guys that visit you have to always pay attention. Some just look awful though...lol. I was in a bowling alley with a couple friends and some girls were flirting with my friends and I from afar. He waved them over and I said dude those are ladyboys what's wrong with you and left. I was in Hawaii and went to a night club. There were at least 6 ladyboys in there. It was so weird as they mostly just stood along a particular wall if they weren't roaming about. They were very easy to spot as they were all taller than me with heels on and I am nearly 6ft.

You are too funny! Yeah I don't have a pair of coconuts to consider in the rope equation so nevermind.

Also, for your Instagram let me know if you're trying to grow your page to 10s 100s or millions of followers if so I know some tricks to the trade ;)

bodylastics.com right? I googled them and they look pretty awesome. I will try that out. Thanks for the tip. :)

454kg? Damn that's like 4 times my weight! You should take a video of you doing that and post it on Steemit and make a daily workout post. That's what I'm going to do next month. Workout videos for the ladies who wants to have a bikini bod inspired by Kayla Itsines book.

Those ladyboys in Hawaii is freakin' tall man! lol! I think we should move this discussion on Chat. But I'm about to sleep coz I have to wake up early in the morning for my business. In case you're in discord in the next 8-10 hours from now, you can add me there. Same username.

And for IG, yes I need a little help there. I would appreciate it if you can help me out. Goodnight. I'm going to bed. Nice talking to you Jacob. :)
