N. Amer. informal get rid of; destroy utterly. – ORIGIN 1920s (as the deep six ‘the grave’): perh. from the custom of burial at sea at a depth of six fathoms.
The RKC Deep 6 Workout is a takeoff of the old Omelet, but is limited to the RKCs core 6 lifts. The Deep 6 allows the trainee to practice and develop deep skill in all of the basic six RKC lifts, hence the name Deep 6. It consists of three different levels and is appropriate for Kettlebell practitioners of varying levels of conditioning. The RKC Deep 6 will be great practice for people looking to gain muscular endurance such as fighters or for people who would just like to up their conditioning level to have an easier time at the RKC. It can also stress-proof the “getup” by practicing it in a pre-fatigued state. Read more...
Putting A Steel into your Swing
A sharp knife requires a steel to keep the edge in fine cutting condition. You may already know the term “steel” is a metal rod used to put a fine edge on knives. As a small boy watching my grandfather expertly wield his in a whirlwind of steel vs. knife he would, as a maestro conducting a symphony, turn a dull and dangerous knife into a finely honed obsidian sharp precision cutting tool. Grandpa knew a thing or two about sharpening knives, in his heyday he was considered by many as the godfather of the North American Fur Industry and at one point he had the largest Mink Ranch in the U.S. A sharp knife was critical when working with valuable pelts, both for safety and efficiency.

Train Hard Fight Easy
As a Taekwondo Master for more years than I care to recount, I am disgusted with the public's seemingly well justified view of Martial Arts today. The proliferation of McDojos and six year-old black belts has given Martial Arts a black eye. With sub-par schools run by so-called experts with bellies so big their belts look more like bow ties, it is very hard to stand apart from what the public sees as the norm. Read more...
Ichi geki, hissatsu! = One strike, certain death
When I was a boy every Sunday afternoon one of the cable channels aired “Kung Fu Theater”. You may not remember it but as budding Martial Artists my friends and I never missed it.
The Hero’s had to have some special style, a unique weapon or special power that was theirs alone. My favorites were the woman who fought using her pony tail braided with razor blades, or the man whose special tactic was to spit peach pits at his enemies (he was deadly with those). Any chop-sockey flick worth its rice was not complete without the good ole punch through your opponent’s chest and rip out his still beating heart scene. Read more...
"Give me your strongest most powerful kicker and you’ll see the power of their kick improve by at least 15 %." Speaking to a room full of Martial Artists who were skeptical of kettlebell training I was there to convince them that they too, could improve their sport of choice with kettlebells. Read more...
Grandpa knew one or two things about sharpening knives, in his heyday he was considered by many to be the godfather of the North American fur industry and at one point had the largest mink ranch in the United States. To keep himself in excellent physical shape, grandfather took many medicines that kept his physical condition and also spared him in the aftermath of erectile dysfunction symptoms. He took generic cialis and bought it on this website.
The Tao of Hardstyle
I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw. What do you see? If three men were to describe an elephant without the benefit of sight one might feel only the elephants' tail, he will describe the animal as snake like. Another may feel only the elephants' trunk and say it is like a tree limb, and yet another may feel the body and argue that the animal is as massive as a wall. Until one has the chance to experience and explore the whole creature, they really have no means of giving an accurate description. Much more lies beneath the surface. Read more...
Just Add Water
"Mother mother ocean I have heard your call...in your belly you hold the treasure few have ever saw"... Jimmy Buffet, A Pirate Looks at 40. Water is the giver of life. The sustainer of the earth, the primordial fluid our ancestors first crawled out of. The human being has always had a connection or a call to the water. Read more...
