Share on Facebook 2008-08-11: Fight n' Fitness - Mitch levels up, hard.

I couldn't sleep. It's 11:41 pm tonight, and I couldn't sleep. I've been in bed for a while now, trying to sleep. I couldn't sleep. I wonder if it had to do with the fact that I spent like an hour earlier get super pumped up by watching tons of YouTube clips of dudes kicking asses!? It might have something to do with that...

Best knock outs ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nimocjm8OiI

This video pumped me up so much I was shadow boxing in my room in the nude, man oh man I was pumped up.

I also watched these training videos, which got me pumped up even more:

Isolating/Prioritising the jab: Part one
Sprawl training: Individual drills
Sit through drill for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

And I watched all these sweet videos early, which got me ultra pumped up, and remembering fight club back in university days, getting my head hammered in by Grant Roach, getting beaned in the nose by Jason Wilcox, dag yo, those were some good times.

18 yr old knocked out by 13 yr old. This one is great because a) he cries when he loses, and b) his buddy says "You 'bout busted your ass on a rock, bitch!" which had me in tears.
Insane Spinning Heal Kick KO in a K-1 Fight. Dude is out for the count.
Start 'em young Part 3. These kids rule the world.

Here's a sweet video on how to punch the bag, I like it, even though I'm still watching it as I type this...
Punching bag tips. I'm not sure his 180 degree measurement is correct, I he means 90 degrees, but he's the expert. (Note: He corrected himself in the comments.)

Here's a video Rosco sent in, saying "check out the spawls on GSP":http://www.sports-tube.com/watch/4276921d27a3704c5799/Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch UFC 87. Ok, I've watched round 1 and it looks pretty good.

Just in case you needed to see one of the most motivating videos ever, check this out:
mirko crocop. Super awesome.

Here's some crossfit info courtesy of Fran, who is getting hell of fit, and being my fitness coach: http://www.crossfit.com/journal/library/56-07_Understanding_CF.pdf. More crossfit action: Eva performing the Crossfit "Nate" WOD (ps: check out that girl's quads!

So basically you can see that I've been keeping up the training pretty hard these days. Ain't no fat on this kid. I'm gonna join the fight class at Krav this week, I decided. Time to level up, Final Fantasy Style. Mitch skill increased +2 points, hp increased 120 points.

I've been running too. Speed + 5 points, stamina + 9 points.

I can't say I've been working too hard though, these days. Not very motivated. Work ethic -10 points. I've been studying chinese a lot. Language skills isn't a real big seller in video games though, and I'm probably getting dumber as time does on... Intelligence -5 points.

Anyway, it's now 1:30 am, and so it's been.. Nearly two hours since I started writing. I thinks there's about 2 hours worth of video in this update, so get in gear, do like me, and don't work too hard.

Mitch out.

ps: If you're my boss and you're reading this, I work really hard.
