Just a short clip of some training on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon (or, the cure for cabin fever).
What I'm working on here is a Target Grid in my backyard training area. Hanging off of the grid are a variety of targets of different sizes. The gray "bags" are 2-liter soda bottles, filled with water and wrapped in foam and duct tape (updated sagi makiwara). The harder you hit these, the firmer the target will be on the knuckles upon contact. The bags provide feedback-solid shots will send the bag directly back from the strike, whereas grazing shots will simply make it roll away. This helps to develop wrist strength, as well as alignment of the knuckles, hand and wrist. Proper alignment not only makes for a more damaging strike, but it is safer on the tendons, bones and joints involved in punching. Considering that fighting is a bare-knuckle affair, this is an important skill to develop.
Some of the skills that can be developed with this setup include: hand eye coordination, reflexes, hand speed, knuckle alignment, bobbing/weaving, slipping/ducking, parrying, moving the body in conjunction with a strike, balance/agility and the ability to track multiple targets while striking and moving.

Perhaps the friendliest alignment ever. Tonight Jupiter, Venus and The Moon lined up in a way that it looked like a smiley face. Nothing like a happy chap smiling down to you from above. Made my day.

First Time out in the 13b Miata A Streets of Willow. This was my first time testing the car at the track. My suspension and alignment needs work! But it was fun getting used to the car. The power is good, braking is decent, but handling can be improved. It was a fun day till my electric fan decided to break off a blade and hit my radiator. It caused all of my coolant to spill and you can see this towards the end of the video. Once the coolant spilled I lost traction as I drove over the coolant in two turns. I exited the track knowing something was wrong, but did not know what it was until I entered the pits and saw steam coming from under my hood! Notice the BIG backfire when I shut off the engine, some guy says "HOLY SHIT!"

My first creation of Leon in MKA. You probley remember seeing the last videos of him fighting MK fighters in arcade mode now heres the character your seeing right now in close up of how he looks. It took me a while of creating him into a strong, fast and complete fighter before bring him into arcade and online, sometimes its not easy for me to find not only different fighting styles or weapon styles but finding different combinations of moves to give him. I want to create Leon as the version of Bruce Lee (big fan of him) and of course he was based on myself and fighting moves a little like the martial arts legend. Please respect this video any negative comments will be deleted so enjoy...peace!!!

Just a quick video showing the various displays on the new receiver. This deck is comparable to the Clarion DRZ9255 in that it has on-board time alignment, crossovers with selectable frequencies and slopes, 24bit Burr Brown D/A, 16 band Eq L/R independent, and too much more to list. I think the Clarion has an edge over the Pioneer however, the Pioneer is half the cost. I was anxious to play with the goodies so I hooked it up to a DIY computer speaker project in the works using the TB 2" that I abused in a previous video. Sorry it's so quiet.
BTW, my favorite display is "off".
