Training for the Real World

Okay last night we set out to train for what if. The what if of last night was, "What if some one was in the house?" Alan went through and instructed Stacy on the different room clearing skills and also we drilled on sight picture and sight alignment to commit it to muscle memory. All the drills went well and we both were able to practice our fundimentals and become even more confident in our abilities to find a target and to eliminate the threat. It was good to be able to train together and to learn even more about each other and have a little fun all at the same time.

Day on the lake

Okay so yesterday we were able to spend a good day with some of Alan's Dad's friends. We started out the day by having breakfast and sharing stories in the park. The highlight of the day came next when we made our way to Lucky Peak Lake for a day on the water. We enjoyed being able to water ski, wakeboard, and tube. Alan tried wakeboarding and was able to get up and ride it after his first couple of trys. He was able to ride for a little while and had fun doing so until his arms were tired. Stacy also decide to try to wakeboard. She was so close to riding it. She got up but just as she was up and starting to turn to ride, she would lean too far forward and fall back in. She did good for here first attempt. Stacy also rode on the tube for a while until she was bucked off after getting 10 feet of air and holding on for more. When we get the pictures for all this we will be sure to post them.

NEW POLL!!!!!

Everyone needs to do the poll!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let the Training Begin!!!!

Okay so it has begun. We are doing P90X full time and for real now. In addition to that we are also starting to do a little MMA training on our our. We now have gloves for each of us and a free standing punching bag. It is a great way for us to become stronger and more well rounded in our workouts. We will have pictures of all this soon if we can find where our camera went to. We also take a little bit of time every day to do some ground grappling and work on our different submission skills. We are hoping that we will be able to become fit and strong and confident in our MMA skill so that we can find a local gym in the not to distant future and start to really improve and become good and talented fighters. Neither of us want to do it for more than a hobby or workout and self-defence but it is still fun and good to learn and become good at it. So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for us just put it in a comment and we will look at it and see what we can do with it. Also on a side note we are going to be looking into getting our CCW licenses soon and will be doing so more training with that as well. So if you have anything to suggest with that let us know in a comment.

We need people to come and visit us here in Boise because it really is a really great place and more people need to experience it and see what we are talking about. We would be happy to take a day and show you around or go play on the water in the mountains or just relax. So if anyone want to come visit or is planning to come visit let us know before hand and we can try to plan something and get together.
