don't pick a fight
chet blalock refers to his teaching style as "reality based training." that is, in a real altercation, tai-chi isn't going to get you far, but knowing the sleeper hold just might get you home alive. as you can see, things were perhaps getting a little too realistic last night at Blalock's International Martial Arts and Boxing Academy. we're doing a profile on this guy for, you guessed it, the pulse. last night mesh and i spent a good hour watching him train and discussing the finer points of brasilian jiu-jitsu (sp?). evidently this guy is somewhat famous, and trains with one of the top guys in UFC, allan goes. an interesting evening to say the least. chet wants aaron and me to come back for some lessons...
this weekend looks to be somewhat relaxing. i'm running down to atlanta this afternoon to drop morris off at the airport, and hopefully grab a bite with brother tim. sean and i are hoping to go get a little lost tomorrow in the hinterlands of eastern tennessee and take a few photographs. its been a while since i've gone traveling with the specific intent of taking pictures, so i'm looking forward to it.
