For any of the pw regulars who’d like to spend some time in Chicago with me (I realize you probably can’t do both the Iowahawk meet and greet and the pw meet and greet, so I’ll understand if you have already been sold on the former), we still have a few remaining spots available at the catch seminar, which will feature instruction in general conditioning, strength training, submission resistance (training the tendons), throws and take downs, submission grappling, striking, and combat sport-specific exercises and regimens (training the grip, the forearms, the neck, the abdominals, etc.).
We train hard, but we also have a lot of fun and like to blow off steam after the day’s workouts.
I know a couple of you have expressed interest, so I urge you to sign up now. Because I’m me, I’ve gotten Tony to agree to give pw folk a 20% break on top of the reduced fee for early registration. Use the code web2209 at checkout.
I feel strange making such a pitch on my own site, but — as much as I like Iowahawk myself — I’m hoping that if you can make only one of the events, you’ll choose the one at which I’ll actually be.
Thanks, and may the force be with you.
Hey, I second that. Mind you, Iowahawk Day’s Meatspace Event is just for those in Chicagoland, anyway. It’s also Friday the 13th. It’s also only just a few days before Paddy’s.
Definitely go to Jeff’s. I’m going to see whether I can’t get out, too, on the excuse of taking Brendan to look at Marquette.
I just re-read the post and it came off not as I wanted it to — dashed it off pretty quickly — so I’ve edited a bit. Apologies for the initial tone: not what I intended, and so I fixed the tone to signal my intent more appropriately.
That’s all right, Jeff. Thanks.
This “blow[ing] off steam” you speak of; is that like drinking or, you know, beating up hobos? Not that it matters. Either one would be fine with me.
“so I fixed the tone to signal my intent more appropriately.”
What the fuck do you know about intent? Poseur!
Again have fun and damn, I wish I could make this.
I hate when I miss the original tone. Who’s Iowahawk?
I think he’s a benchmark bewreathed in a fundament tarped in a crystal, hf. Or maybe a cuppa coffee. Either way, I don’t think we’re supposed to know.
Iowahawk is some dude who borrowed some other dude’s birds, and now, can’t pay them back.
Jeff, best of luck.
will there be a jeff-parsnip match up?
I remain hopeful that someday a PW meet-up will be set up for a time and place for which I will be able to match motive with means and opportunity.
OUTLAW!
Damn, Jeff, I really wanted to be there, but that’s Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday.
I’m thinking about it. I’m in such lousy shape right now, though.
this might help you get into shape
How to get Michelle Obama’s toned arms
Rip them off her body. Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!
But really, that’s a joke.
I’m sorry (okay, I’m not), but Michelle is a Klingon. If you try to rip her arms off she’ll probably attack you with a Batleth.
Who gave her the right to bare arms, anyway?
As much as I’d like to, I no can do the Friday. I’m thinking about coming in Saturday morning and staying until I sober up.
Sobering up is for fools, Pablo. Don’t do it!
obam-bam is cutting the military budget to offset his whatever plans

and i won’t tell you about your big feet
If this is an event you plan on taking to the Baltimore/DC area anytime soon, let me know. I’d love to do it. I’ve been slowly working myself back into Karate, and have been exploring Krav Maga. A weekend jaunt like this might be just what the doctor ordered.
And by “jaunt”, I really mean “pain-filled, joint-destroying, scream-inducing, physically torturous 48 hours”. Just so’s we’re clear on intent and all.
WHEN IS THE TONY CECCHINE INTERVIEW COMING OUT. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT HIS TRAINING AND VIEWS ON SELF DEFENSE AND GRAPPLING.
