Re: Nutrition question
quote kvmorl:Great stuff on this thread so far!This week i switched to grapes to snack during day, I have to check out the dehydrator, my father in law lives by that thing too…
How long is the fruit lasting after drying in the dehydrator usually?
I cant give you an exact date becuase it either go’s into the food saver for backpacking or gets eaten rather quickly, certain friuts last longer than others banana chips last forever, most friuts can be stroed for about 6 months or so that I know of. (Dip in Lemon Juice for best results before drying, it makes some chemical reaction for fruits.)
Veggies should be steamed defore drying.
You can make other stuff besides just fruit, oatmeal snacks, Sun Bars, JERKY!!!! of course, and fruit or veggie leathers.
Veggie leathers like Puree Tomato’s w/ Italian Herbs are good.Some other good ones:
Natural potato chips, take some tater slices and lightly season to taste and then dehydrate…no fats, grease or garbage, you can also use cucumber instead of taters and they are awesome.Small dabs/drops of Yogert make great dehydrated snaks. (Throw some nuts in the middle of the drop before drying for extra)
One of my Favs is if you are a fan of Ruben Sandwiches you can make Ruben Rounds (Cracker ,made of Rye Flour,SauerKrout, Caraway Seeds) and have a light snack instead of monster Sandwhich.
Possibilities are endless and delicious and healthy, I do a huge amount of Backpacking and Camping all year so the Dehydrator and the Smokers are always going.
Re: Nutrition question
Peanut Butter and Celery Sticks just like Ma used to make.
If you can spare the the cash and have the time get a food dehydrator and make your own dried friuts, they pack well, taste good, and are good for you.
I wouldn’t make it long w/out my Food Dehydrator.
It takes little maintenence or complication to throw on batch of friut and go about your buisness.Re: Strength and stamina workouts for krav maga.
quote Nixxon:Snake it sounds like your making excuses to not work out. You have a yard, awesome. Thats a perfect place to workout..Not really I am actually a pretty physicaly active person I am however really probing for info, I lurk this place alot and see alot of great help and info.
The generic Get Bas or Crossfit doesnt always work for everyone, I know there is some knowledgable people around here…share the info…share the wealth.I would really like to not only have, but understand a good work out, just pushing for knowledge not canned goods.
Thanks to the responses for those that helped.
Links and responses provided were helpfull.
Re: Strength and stamina workouts for krav maga.
quote leejam99:hmmm…. no living room, no equipment, no gym…. wow.Living room full of people, Equipment costs money and it’s short in this day and age, I live in the country 15 or so miles out of town, nearest gym is far away and costs to much of the precious afforementioned money to join.
quote leejam99:how about this.Push ups, air squats, pull ups if you get one of those door pullup bars, sit ups, body weight core exercises(search the internet)… also run. run both short sprints and long distance to work both anaerobic and aerobic.
That I can do, plenty of room outside to run and such.
Push ups take no space, I can do pull ups off the trees in my yard.What kind of variety of push ups would make a good all round workout to alternate in between, I know thier is more than just the standard 1234 Marine Corps Push Up.
What kind of Reps and how many would be recommended.
A certain number of sets to failure, Pyramid Reps, I want to make sure I build up but not just burn out.Thanks.
Re: Strength and stamina workouts for krav maga.
I know the Bas workout is cool and will work you, and the Crossfit looks efficient as well
My question is……..What are some real workouts that are options for anyone to do?
It seems the first respons to any workout question is “Get the Bas” and second is “Do Crossfit”.
Surely thease cannot be the only two options for building strength and stamina, maybe I dont have a living room to do a Bas Workout in, or equipment or Gym for Crossfit.I’m sure people built up thier endurance and stregth once upon a time before Golds Gym, Bas Rutten and Crossfit…..Hell Rocky ate Raw Eggs and Beat up Cow Carcasuss in the freezer and knocked out Apollo Creed and I didn’t see Bas in his corner or Crossfit across his Trunks.
Re: Is our culture forcing a change to how we escalate a fight?
quote KMCat:Ah, but today we have all the gruesome dead body shows on TV (CSI, etc.) where you get your weekly desensitizing treatments (assuming you watch).Heres a long post not ment to really fire back at you KMCat but just to try make my thoughts come through in type.
The point with the TV I want to make is….It’s not real.
TV, Movies, Video games no matter how realistic is not real death and violence, even on the news it’s not real becuse it’s removed, not right in front of you to deal or be confronted with.The sight of a real dead body staring back at you with lifeless eyes will cause much more reaction than CSI, it will cuase a real reaction.
Even going to a funeral where the body is not mangled, is all dressed up, passing by the coffin is an uncomfortable thing to do for most people, let alone just be able to casually stare at lifeless, bloated, disfigured corpses.
The only thing that will desensitize you to dead bodies is to be continually exposed to them.
The only thing that will make comfortable with violence is to be continually put into violent situations.Sliding out of a Helo on a Rappelling rope with your MP5 right into the enemy HQ and putting rounds into thier chest at rapid speed as they send bullets just inches from your head in a heated firefight w/out even missing a beat with cool composer racking up 30 more kills on your belt may be just another days work….
Jumping in your stolen car and going on a high speed chase with those damn cops as you speed through the city streets running whoever gets in you way down as the buildings and streets blur by you, cops leaning out the window shooting at you, your car is flaming and smoking, you have to ditch out and take off on foot with only your pistol, now the target of a city wide manhunt, maybe take a hostage or two maybe as easy as 123 or button R1, L1, R2, L2, A, B, C.
….But I bet in real life the reaction to even having someone walk up to you raise thier voice and push you into a wall is much different for the average person, Child, Teen or Adult and all the Spec-Ops hard ass, and Ruthless Hitman stuff from the video games and movies is instantly gone and replaced with a reaction much different.
Trust me, trust me well, real death, real violence invokes a hardwired psyiological reaction that cannot be mimiked by the media and can only be turned off by continual exposure to such events.
You cannot take 18 year old kids and turn them into hard core Special-Ops killers by playing Syphon Filter, they still need to be conditioned in Boot Camp, Fire real rifles, get a gut a check, and go to real combat and over come the fear and revolting reaction humans expireince when faced with mortality and harm.
You cannot take a person and sit them down in front of the TV and play a non-stop horror movie marathon and then expect them to be able to go out and cut people up with a chainsaw or be comfortable sitting down to a nice dinner cooked out your neighbor, only a failure in ones brain during childhood development, exposure to abuse and violence, leading in a lifelong build up inside someone would allow them to rationally do such things.
It is common thought that the lines of fantasy and reality are getting blurred thease days and thats in part a truth.
The problem though isnt the abiltiy to distuignish fantasy from reality resulting in inapproprate behavior on a major scale that is sucking the human race into oblivion as most think.
The problem is being able to distuingish our reality from our fantasy, we are not living in a burning society filled with rampant chaos and destruction, in reality we are becomming more behaved, more pacified, more sedentary, less questioning and adventurous, and more and more scared to even go outside our front doors becasue the monsters in our fantasy will catch us, steal our credit cards and take our identity, beat us up and turn our kids into meth freaks after they get done stalking them on the internet, and then slash the tires to our SUV and put a bomb under our front porch and then send us a letter filled with anthrax, and if that doesnt get us they will send us a flood of spam full of viruses to our email…leading the human race into a new era of boredom and dullery (Making us have to rely more and more on fanatsy).
Re: Is our culture forcing a change to how we escalate a fight?
From the way I have always saw it:
I think the only thing that has increased is societies fear of violoence rather than violence itself.
The reason it seems that so many people are percieving violence to be so savage today is that people lack the intestanal fortitude to stand up for themselves or that they have been told so many times “Violence isn’t the only answer” they forgot in certain times it is a lgitimate answer.
When I was in grade school I fought almost daily on the play ground, when I was in High school I fought almost daily in the halls, most kids thease days are 10-12 years old with not one scrap, while when I was younger a good ‘ole fashioned throw down was no big deal.
A fight in my days really had little consequence, if it was mutual you both a got a slap on the wrist.
If it was a bully situation…Bully got busted, kid who stood up for himself got some pride and respect.Albiet that not having been into fights can be a good thing (Decreasing Violence), they havent learned the ropes, they don’t only phsically not know how to deal with violence or confrontation but mentally and emotionally.
As people in thier adult life find themselves more and more sedentary, more and more isolated from real human contact and deal with everyone through email, text and type, they to are loosing the same skill set.
The lack of confidence and expirence in defending yourself coupled with the constant pacification of the average citizen leaves a gut wrenching fear to violence and a “sheeple” mentality.
violence hasn’t really increased any only our reaction to it.
Violence invokes fear, bullies have known it for a long time = INTIMIDATION, we are such a paranoid, fearfull, untrusting society we are compleatly intimated by anyone and everyone and have no coping skills to deal w/it.
More people of more cultures of more varrying point of view of more class distinction are continually being crammed together….It stands to reason when the melting pot boils it boils.
More bad neighborhoods is an obvious more violent crime.
Larger amounts of poverty vs upper class results in more robbery.
It’s not sign of the times it’s simple numbers.I’m not really voting for the violence on TV theory, violence has been on TV since the Lone Ranger and such back in the days, kids played with Die Cast Cap Guns for ages, along with the fact that kids also got in fights and also wre punished w/whippings, and slappings….Only exposure to violence desensitzes us to violence.
Graphic TV and video although easy to blame and very slick and realistic looking is very quickly distguishable in real life.
Your kids and teens may rape, kill, torture, and murder each other online, but are also tucked away very far removed from committing real violence.
My heart has never pounded anywhere nearly as quick playing a video game than it has realizing that I am about to have someone throw a blow at me…and when all the desensitized youth find themselves in the same situation they quickly realize it as well becuse it is the human reaction to real violence that is easily recognized as different in real life.
There are entire regions of the globe in which TV is virtually non existant and people are cutting eachothers heads off, rioting, looting exploitng each other, shooting each other and forming militias in thier own neighborhoods, children are killed daily, children carry AK’s….A 13 year old kid who hasnt been in a real fight and plays grand theft auto and SOCOM all day long is looking mighty non violent in my comparision.
Re: Sprawl – Doing in Correctly in Warm-ups
quote DS314:Just I think Bas is doing them on the DVD that came with the Thai, Boxing, All-Around Work-out CDs.
DS314DEFENSE!!
You should be kicking your legs out before hitting the ground since if someone was shooting for you, you need to get your legs out ASAP and your arms wouldn’t touch the ground but instead lock around your enemy, correct?
Re: Hello and request for input
quote Nemo_Dat:I find it frustrating to see students who I know in a real life situation would have a difficult time fighting their way out of a wet paper bag learning and practicing techniques that I am “forbidden” to do because I haven’t “put my time in yet”. I hope that I am mistaken but it is starting to seem that the system is maybe too strongly focused on making a buck rather than the proper progression of its students.I’d be interested in some peoples thoughts on the above topic.
Thanks.
Dont be offended if posible but I would wager your frustration stems more from the fact you havent communicated properly with your instructor than the system itself….ruck up and talk to your instructor not a forum, only your teacher can give the answer you need.
It should be easier to sit and talk to the actual person you are giving money to, to train you than anything else…in fact it should be mandatory.As far as the system, I dont know, I do know at my school a “month long trial” can take up to a few months of showing up in every class offered with no mention of money.
Leval two class is right after leval one and many two’s show up for one and roll right into two….Leval Ones are invited to stay to pick up some extra knowledge or what have you (Sink or swim though).I am happier than a fat smelly pig in fuming o-zone killing **** I found Krav and the school specifically I attend, I know the instructor want’s to teach and see students progress and not make a buck and has no problems with open dialog.
Re: Faber vs Pulver tonight
I was hoping for something a little more explosive, Pulver didn’t seem to be as aggressive as thought and battle w/two guys like that going all 5 rounds and into decision is not what you are waiting for.
I was waiting for the big KO or atleast a killer choke submission.quote russell:I hope it’s better than elite xc!That’s for sure…and Kimbo Slice was definately overrated and given that fight.
If it wasn’t called he would have fallen over in a another few seconds, and I don’t think that other dude was out of the fight at all.Re: Home work
quote blindfold:Well, Remember, water & breathing.Push ups you can work on when you have time. Just not in the office it might scare people.
I’ve got the Water down trust me I drink unhuman amounts of water.
I only wish I worked in an office then maybe I could actually rest my body, I have strenous job that tears you down.quote KMMAN:I just started doing BAS RUTTEN CDs for this very reason. If $ is an issue, you definitely need to either shadow box or bag train in rounds to get cardio up. Im doing 10 2 minute rounds now and will build to 3 min rounds. I beat BOB up the entire time using the Thai Boxing CD.I assume this same thing as in the Bas Rutten thread?
What exactly do I look into picking up?quote Nixxon:My opinion that wrist wraps are detremental to training.I like to train for worst case scenerios. If I’m in a fight I won’t be wearing wrist wraps.
Plus I like to condition my body and I feel the best way to build wrist/forearm/hand strength for striking is to actually do that. Just don’t hit full power, and work into it. This will also keep you from hurting yourself until you get the form right. Boxers fracture takes a long time to heal.
Makes sense, Fight like you train, Train like you fight… right.
