About 10-12 years ago I was doing a lot of hand conditioning under the direction of my teacher, Dr. U Maung Gyi. After about 11 months of conditioning I was able to break coconuts with a palm heel strike...I broke 3 of them. Not always first try but they broke. We have had some of our bando...
Totally. You just asked a great question. I've always wondered if there were some graves that we don't see but I think that's not the case. A couple of months ago when I was at the farm I took about a 2-hour wander through the Fellowship Baptist cemetery where a lot of our family is buried...
hahaha...what a great visual you just painted!! I considered googling images of your description but I am skeered of what I might find. I did remember I had this saved...an avatar from "Sizzler" who was a cool fellow on TreeBuzz back in the day.
These guys have a bit of a jump on you...
Beautiful picture. And it's a 200T.. wonderful. Thread is back on track. I've got some short videos of what I did last week. I'll throw it up later but not as cool as that shot.
You could start working with the rope as an assist like I did in the video...arms up and curl assist as you sit up. Gradually keep the arms lower as you pull to assist the situp and finally keep the fists and rope on the floor...like the video. You could probably do it in a few months. Just...
I doubt you are weak as a kitten...and with training you could develop that ability. I didn't even know un-anchored situps were a thing for a long time. When I learned, someone always held your feet....or they went under a couch.
My Bando teacher introduced us to how un-developed we were by...
I watched it and gave it a try and I'll shoot you a video of how it seemed to go for me. Let me know if I am doing something different from her. Video in a bit.
In the old 1908 maps, in Land Lot 48 where it says "Fish Pond"...that is our pond when it was a Gin Pond. I found 1902 land deeds that reference the "Gin Pond", the first true reference to it I had found so far.
Cory!! You have turned into a pict/vid posting maniac...great stuff. Loved that big drop of the whole tree a bit back. The Ninja looks ripped. You are looking fit yourself, too. Good stuff. (Yoga mat in the speedo picture? Doing yoga these days?)
I am keeping the timbers in the water at the mill race for now...along with two old sinker logs. Picts of Mr. Bostick's grave...it is the only known grave on the farm. It is on the highest hill and overlooks the ponds and mill site.
First timber:
Extracting a timber:
Here is some history. Periodically, the Georgia Safe Dams folks contact us to get permission to check the dams at our farm. They interact with the Federal agency that monitors 92,000 dams in the USA that could potentially cause harm if they failed. Their surveyors take measurements and...
