"Hello Brooklyn:
Thank you for contributing!
Loss of time, everything else out of awareness... its what all the Japanese martial arts books call mushin, "no-mind". Overused term, badly described (IMHO) but when you perceive things, and…"

Brooklyn replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I have had the hyper focus thing happen to me a few times doing Muay Thai kickboxing and had NO idea there was a name for it. I just thought I was Wonder Woman those days!!!"
Stuart replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Nothing like bone deep exhaustion, and living at ones potential to make awareness too sharp on the wrong things, Remind me, which flavor of Tai Chi Ch'uan are you practicing again?"
mmbright replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"WOW!
I have not passed out for many many years. I get disoriented, but somehow I seem always able to notice and get to food on time. I am finding that my TaiChi practice, that I am now doing five days a week, my sugars tend to level out for the…"
Stuart replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Hello mmbright:
As I said a few come to mind.... lol
Teaching back to back one Saturday afternoon... we broke the class into 5/6 different groups and supervised them all. More vigerous for some than others. More physical with different groups than…"
mmbright replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I had a low BG at the end of class once. When I went to spar against someone of higher rank, I lost all distraction, and it seemed like he was moving in slow motion. He could not hit me, and I could not miss him. When we stopped I could barely stand…"
Stuart replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"As for mats there are a couiple possibilities...
You pick one up at the manufacturer itself. Saves obscene amounts of money, and markups...
Craigslist/ebay or your local equivelent. There is always someone trying to part with a mat they never used…"
Stuart replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Hello mmbright:
Funny you should say that I'm writing an article about this very thing >: D !!!
As a professional martial arts instructor (a flavor of Okinawan Karate) ive had a few... what cha have in mind -wg-?
And what do you mean by…"
Bathyscaph replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Both the dummy and mats are expensive but I definitely use them both enough that I feel I am getting my money's worth. I really hesitated about buying the dummy because I didn't want to spend that much and then have the thing sit in my…"
mmbright replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"The dummy looks great, though expensive. Any suggestions for mats? I have a space I could use, but no mats.
If you are consistent with your workouts, your body will always be replenishing itself, and the BG will be partially regulated by this. It…"
Bathyscaph replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"After doing a bit of research I got this one:
http://www.grapplingdummy.net/
I absolutely love it. Their marketing is a bit over-the-top but it really is an amazing training tool and I wish I would have gotten one sooner. It really helps that I…"
mmbright replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"What dummy do you use?
Be careful because you can hit a burning glucose situation that continues long after your workouts. Make sure you are not eating just simple sugars that can "fuel the fires" and prevent getting to normal levels.
I…"
Bathyscaph replied to mmbright's discussion 'Martial Arts Training' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I am doing BJJ at the moment and plan to stay with MDI so I can keep at it for as long as possible. I am still in my honeymoon phase (DX T1 10 months ago now ) so my situation is perhaps unusual and I don't really know how things will be when…"

Best Hello

That was about the best "HELLO" I ever got!
I do not usually stay long on groups because of the time involved in keeping up. But I am willing to try this out. I also find myself feeling vulnerable about putting personal stuff online that it may come out to haunt me later; though I do feel a desire to bare my soul to folks unknown.
I will get out a story I wrote recently about my becoming diabetic oh so many years ago, about 40 I… Continue
