My before pic…
What does the future hold. 🔮

All I know is that I’ve never really been a fitness buff. For 20+ years all of my exercise was purely from martial arts training. I’ve fallen out of practice recently for several reasons and my lack of intense training this past year or so has made me soft.🍦

I started going to the gym about 2 years ago and although I‘ve been consistent, I’ve only been going 1-3 times per week. I feel at this point that it’s time for me to up the frequency/intensity and do some strength training 6 days a week even if I have to do it at home. 🏋🏻‍♀️

Luckily, an old friend gave me this vintage soloflex machine. I don’t use the bands because they feel weird, but I’ve got the bench, dumbbells and the bar for dips and pull ups. 💪

And one of these days I’m going back to jiu jitsu. Just have to get things in order. I miss it so much!! 🥹

Happy training everyone! ❤️‍🔥

All I know is that I’ve never really been a fitness buff. For 20+ years all of my exercise was purely from martial arts training. It kept me fit, but I’ve fallen out of training for several reasons. I’m focusing my extra time on archery now and want to compete and of course life happens, but my lack of intense training has made me soft.🍦

🏹 Feeling fortunate today. My coach lives in CO so it’s rare for me to get an in-person lesson. And I got one under the solar eclipse. Even more rare! 🌓

We made a major break through with my training. You can see that both my eyes are open here as I’m getting ready to release. For the life of me, I could not get my string blur in the right place. I tried moving my head around all directions but I guess my eyes are made different, I don’t know. He finally had me close my left eye and that fixed it! I had heard that different people prefer to either use both eyes or just one and now I know I am one of those people who needs to use one. 👁️

Please excuse my attire. It doesn’t look like it but it was cold and I was dressed for the weather and not to impress. 😂

MR-9, the movie, finally came out and I saw my scenes in it. This was during a really fun phase in my life. Michael Jai White was a great guy on set and it was interesting to watch him choreograph the fight scenes on the spot as they were filming. He was very encouraging and inspirational. I will never forget this or the people I had the privilege to work with on set! 🙌🙌🙌

I see that I have messages in messenger on this account but I’m having trouble switching and I can’t view them or respond. I’m sorry about that. I will try to fix the issue as soon as I can and get back to you. Thank you for your patience.

Perfect weather for Taichi at the park! ☀️🌳

My first round of 50 points at 10 yards! Taking those baby steps. 👶
I’ve been working with a great coach who’s been helping me adjust my stance and technique. It’s been taking some time to get used to all the changes but I can see how they will help me down the road. Super grateful.
Going to continue working at 10 yards and try to narrow it down to the x ring. 🎯
