Cha-Cha-Changes

The major change I did this last week was to change my weapon to master especially after seeing Sihing Lowery attack both herself and her lawn chairs with her spear and reading that Sifu Bryant's revelation was that chucks do go through windows quite nicely. After serious contemplation about having the Nerf pool noodle as my weapon, my fear then was that I would not be taken seriously neither as a martial artist or weapon bearer. It was then that I decided to reconnect with a weapon that I started to play around with last year and has been calling my name since and at times being a persistent "nag".

I have decided to change my weapon from the chucks (and save any surrounding windows) to my fan. When I picked up my fan again, it just felt right on so many levels. I was like a kid with a new toy seeing what happens when I do this or that and I do happen to think that the sound a fan being opened is very cool. After talking to Sifu Michael Playter about my fan (and getting the okay from Sifu Brinker) and how it's used for both as a weapon and as a distraction, I'm on a whole new level of excitement. Plus watching some of the videos on YouTube has granted a whole new level of respect for the fan as well. With my new-found knowledge I will be working out some cool moves and putting those cool moves together into a Beta version form so stay tuned.

Another change/phase is that gluten is one aspect that I will be scaling back on in my diet. I did try gluten-free for a period last year in November and it did not fair well for me. Looking back I was cold-turkey subbing out one starch for another and my body was revolting. This time around I will be doing the phase-out method while keeping my diet moderate to high raw. Today I got a recipe for a gluten-free pizza crust that uses chick pea flour. Guess what I'll be trying tonight for supper?
