Happy New Year

I normally don't make New Year Resolutions. I don't really see the point since 90% of the time, most people can't keep them anyway (thats Biblically predicted anyway). So whatever your futile resolutions are, good luck with that and have a great year in 2008!!



Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas

Well, its Christmas eve,

Here's a Christmas ditty thats been in my head:

Real life confrontations

As a martial arts instructor, I feel compelled to comment about safety on the streets. Its all very good and well in the safe environment of your gym, to practice techniques on a non-resisting opponent, with no adrenaline, no fear.

The question always will be, what will you do when facing a real life confrontational situation? Will you freeze up in fear?

Here is an example of a combat situation where your wife is in danger:



Here is an example of how to deal with the situation if you are mugged on the street:



What will you do?

Drama Queen

Back when I was in pre-university, I did alot of drama as a requirement for points in English. Really enjoyed it too. Got into it, watched lots of plays, made my own skits, acted, did theater sports. Fun stuff. I wonder how far I would have gone if I really ventured into drama.

Really loved the serious emotional stuff. My speciality I guess:

Heh heh, I said turd.....

Just ordered a roasted turkey for Christmas eve last night. Looked through the menu as I ordered the stuffing and cranberry sauce.

Those of you who do know me, know how much I love food. I even worked as a chef several times during my uni days. Anyway, what I noticed was that the restaurant also sells roasted ducks and chickens....... which brings me to something I have always wanted to try. A turducken!!!

What is a turducken you ask? The turducken is a Frankenstein creation whereby a chicken is stuffed into a duck, which is then stuffed into a turkey. Now, if you are a real man like me, you will know why that just makes me feel soooooooooo happy.



Now, a turducken is a 3 bird roast. As impressive as that is, the record is a Rôti Sans Pareil, or "Roast without equal", made in the 19th Century for a royal feast, which is a 17 bird roast. This delicious sounding monstrosity is a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, a Ortolan Bunting and a Garden Warbler. This cannot be created anymore as many of those birds are on the endangered species list.

The best one can come up with in our modern era is a 10 bird roast, made by Chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, who created a 10 bird roast which consists of a turkey stuffed with a goose, duck, mallard, guinea fowl, chicken, pheasant, partridge, pigeon and woodcock.

Anyway, keep your tongue in your mouth, here I present you, the Turducken:



Here is a video with a similar concept, that also makes me sooooo happy:

Go Porky go

When pigs fly. Thats what I used to think when I pondered the possibility of starting a blog. After all, I'm paranoid about revealing too much about myself on the internet. I won't reveal who I am, what I do, where I am etc. If you already know me, you know me. You won't find any pictures of my naked ass sticking in the air on the interwebs.

As for why lazybjj? My students and training partners know, thats how I roll. My laziness has inspired a style of minimal movement, maximum function. That is why you are carrying my weight when we roll. That is why I am barely breathing hard and look so relaxed. However if I am breathing hard, or worst still, gassing out, damn you!!! Thats not supposed to happen.

Anyway, thats too much about myself already. Lets just say I am an regular everyday normal guy:
