Interesting Talk on Nutrition
May 6th, 2008Good little talk about nutrition by Michael Pollan.
He has some intresting points about society’s trends towards nutrition and the ‘best’ advice.
Breakdancing
May 5th, 2008Spent some of my time at university with the breakdancing club and still enjoy keeping an eye on the culture.
Here’s three of my favourite video clips - all of which still amaze me.
‘Poppin Hyun Jun’ at a shopping mall in Korea:
B-Boy Junior from France
David Elsewhere - Amazing! Wipes the floor with the other two lads.
Posing
May 4th, 2008I’ve been watching a few vidoes online, looking at the different styles employed by people to present their physique at its best. Lets just say the opinions of how ‘best’ to present your physique can differ wildly:
The best: Frank Zane, renowned as one of the greatest of all time.
Interesting Take, Combining Body Popping with poses:
Possibly the worst and funniest I’ve ever, ever seen:
Cirque Du Soleil - Inspiration

It comes from Cirque Du Soleil’s special anniversary show called “Midnight Sun”.
Master Sken and Sandy Holt
April 30th, 2008Video of Master Sken and Sandy Holt putting on a awesome display back in 1993.
I had the pleasure of training with both of them during my early days of Muay Thai training at Sukhothai.
What inspired me most about them was that even though they could fantastic things, were lightning fast, supple and just downright hard as hell, was that they are both very approachable and humble people; decent people that are a pleasure to be around.
A stark contrast to other people I meet associated with martial arts, who carry their egos on their sleeves and try to make sure they are ‘king of the jungle’ everywhere they go.
