Jab and Grapple - Boxing and Wrestling News and Analysis

Ultimate Killing Machine

by Ron on July 20th, 2006

Unknown to most of you, since I started blogging for Jab and Grapple, I now have this hallucination of being an ultimate killing machine someday.

Of course this won’t happen hence the “hallucination” part but it doesn’t hurt to try right?

Writing for this blog ain’t easy folks. Since I’ve always mentioned that I’m a casual fan of boxing/wrestling, I had to acquaint myself with all things related to the sport.

What does that mean?

bang!It means me reading and surfing through tons of websites that deals with either boxing or wrestling. It also means watching a bunch of videos from YouTube.

(It is interesting note here is that I found Bas Rutten’s self-defense video and it is funny as hell. He tries to make this weird sound effects to add more life to his demonstrations like, “bam!” and “bang da bang!” plus a couple of more sounds that can’t be easily deciphered by the human ear.)

I went and made two new best friends online - Google and Wikipedia. I also probably watch Rocky more than the recommended amount that I went out and bought a couple boxes of eggs just in case I need them.

Aside from that, I also wanted to know what it felt like to train like a boxer/wrestler. So, I’ve been hitting the gym more frequently the past few months. I asked for an overall body-conditioning workout that the trainer happily obliged, bless his soul. There are two trainers in the gym where I work out, one male and the other one female. I like the female better. There’s nothing more sexy than a girl right up on your face telling you that she’s gonna kick your ass if you don’t do two more repetitions.

(Or maybe it’s just me)

I also joined this pseudo aerobic workout they offer at the gym, which they call kickboxing/taebo aero. It was fun for a while then it gets kinda old. You start off with some warm up steps then move through all the boxing motions that include jabs, uppercuts, and punches. Of course all of these are mixed with a couple of front kicks and sidekicks. After that, you do some ab workouts and then cool down. Like I said, it was fun for a while then it gets lame when fat chicks and gay guys join in. The fat chicks think they’re losing weight, which they’re clearly not with the amount of food their shoving in their mouth. While the gay guys just want to see guys sweat. Need I elaborate?

So I’m planning to join the “Arnis” session, which is, a Filipino-type mixed martial arts, which involves kendo-like sticks. It looks more fun and promising. It also has the potential to teach me how to actually kill someone, which I don’t plan to do but you never know right? I might be driving then someone decides to cut me off the road so I ran after him then cut him off too. He gets out of his car. I get out. Then, bam! I knock him out cold. Who’s the man? I’m the man.

Plus, there are no gay guys or fat chicks this time around.

I will update you guys on my progress. Who knows? In a couple of months I might not be the ultimate killing machine but I might be an ultimate blogging machine.
