I got footage from a practice session from August 2008! Wow! What a different world that was! That’s not even three years ago, but SO MUCH has changed. I was so into b-girling back then…not so much the case any more. I hardly dance at all anymore, period. Am thinking I may get back into it…but I don’t know about breaking. It’s so hardcore! I’m an old ...
A few days ago, I felt inspired to visit some trails I used to beat many years ago, when I lived in another city. I was shocked I was still able to find the exact trails I used to frequent! I just kept on driving, waiting for familiar markers, left, right, left, right, making turns, eyes open, trying to figure out where I was going…and ended up at my old trails! It was amazing. The scenery was gorgeous and the ...

My amazingly hot friend Sasha and I are going to have a photoshoot at the end of May. This gives us about 10 weeks to prepare. It will be a fitness photoshoot. EXCITING!! This will be part of Sasha’s return to the USA’s in Las Vegas at the end of July. This will be a fun opportunity for me to use ...

When they are quibbling about not seeing results after one workout and one clean meal…or people asking me about how effective L-Carnitine is or anything else…yet their diet is not 100%…I want to say “what’s the point??”…no supplement can counteract an inconsistent diet…Anyway, “ChickenTuna” has been a contributing member of BodySpace (associated with BodyBuilding.com) for many years now and her abs are more than memorable. Yes, I know ...

I was excited for the tournament for a long time!
On last Tuesday, though, in jiu jitsu class we were supposed to wrestle. This big guy threw me to the ground and I pulled a hip flexor 🙁 I took it easy for the rest of the week, and was still excited for the tournament, but a little weary and cautious. Saturday morning I got into fight mode! I did ...
Continue Reading →I had a fun workout day last Wednesday! In the morning I checked out a wrestling class and learned a little bit about what you can do if you botch a double leg takedown (cough cough all my double legs are botched- they’re hard!!) and they sprawl on you. Later on in the day, I worked with a new trainer at Functional Core Fitness named Eliza Olson. She’s new to FCF, but not new to boxing or instructing. ...

I left Thailand and had a long layover in Korea, where I was privileged enough to explore some of Seoul with Adam of SEE Adam Train. 🙂
After that, next stop was California and I was surprised to not experience horrible culture shock, jet lag, or existential malaise upon arrival.
I felt remarkably refreshed and hopeful. The fast lifestyle and stress has slowly been creeping back into my life, but I ...
Continue Reading →Wow, it’s almost time! Tomorrow is my last day…I leave at night. I am being consistent in my training these past few days, and it’s jolly fun. This trip been so amazing and I have learned SO much! Thank you to all my teachers and partners!
Yesterday Andrew and I filmed the beginning part of our jiu jitsu private lesson that followed the morning MMA class. One take. I’m super-sweaty but whatevz. I am trying to share with the world interesting ...
Continue Reading →Just a quick update: For Friday (after morning class), Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I was TOTALLY out of it. Felt like a cripple- couldn’t walk, NO energy, headache, senses heightened, could NOT get out of bed for anything. Tuesday I started to feel more like a human again, and I just did an hour of jiu jitsu for the day. Wednesday I felt even more improved, and just did morning class plus another hour of jiu jitsu. Today (Thursday) we ...
