A fabulous weekend at Beaver

Kristi and I


Joseph and I had a fabulous weekend! We finally took our boat up to Beaver to go to Jeff and Kathy's lake house. They have always been our official lake buddies on Ouchita but now that they have thier OWN house, they are always trying to get us to come up to Beaver! We are soooo happy we did! It was a beautiful weekend...a little chilly when the boat was cruising, but once we stopped, it was just perfect! We got to see a good friend of ours..JJ and his new wife. He never fails to impress all of us with his crazy wakeboarding skills and Joseph was happy to see that he can still hang with the best of them...even though he knows he isnt quite as good (according to Joseph he isnt as good...but I think Joseph is amazing)...he loves to learn new tricks and it is nice to ride with someone who really knows so much about the sport.


I also got to see my bestie Kristi, who just returned from her honeymoon. She is officially a married woman and I am so excited to share our lives with all of our wonderful friends!
We always laugh so hard when we are all four together and this wkend was nothing but halarious. I just love how easy it is to be with them and I know we will all four be friends forever! We love you Jeff and Kathy! Cant wait until St. Louie!! wooo hoo!

Watching Fights

Watch fights! Especially Thais.I post a lot of them here, of course. The key is to watch the pace of the fight, the timing of the exchanges and other characteristics of the fight that highlight effectiveness...You should definitely watch for all the things that you have learned from your instructors.



For me, it has been weeks since I really sat down and watched an entire MT fight. However, going back and watching the very last fight I posted here (Orono and Namkabuan), it was a great refresher on how real Muaythai style exchanges are handled. I like it because its a great way to remind me of all the holes in my own performances and where to really work on.



Whether it's returning right away after being hit, proper exchanging in the clinch or really working that teep (push kick) with correct timing, make sure you are watching fights to pick up or remind yourself of the most useful tactics used in Muaythai

Lastly, try to judge a traditional Muaythai fight. See if you can pick out the winner. It's a great exercise in expanding your knowledge of the game!

If you follow the wrong star

Quoting a Hong Kong weekly magazine, they said the couple have an 11-year-old daughter and a son who is currently staying in Singapore with Lau’s sister.

Lau denied that he had children with Zhu and explained on arrival in Hong Kong from China on Tuesday that the children who had been photographed were those of his relatives or friends.

The magazine reported that the son was born at the height of his career and was brought up by Lau’s father.

“To prevent the exposure of his son, Lau sent him to Singapore to stay with his sister,” it reported.

Lau’s daughter is said to have been born in Canada and was being cared for by another sister.

Lau was caught lying about his marriage to Carol Zhu and had apologised publicly.

Lau was wearing a white T-shirt, blue shirt and white sports shoes.

Upon arrival at the KLIA, the duo were spotted wearing face masks, with Lau nodding his head at some passengers and staff who recognised him.

The couple was later escorted out by airport security personnel through the VIP lane.

According to the daily, the couple is believed to be planning a marriage ceremony within 100 days of Chu’s father’s death in Malaysia.


More Update: Nov 2009

Lau sought psychiatrist’s help after death of fan’s dad


Yang Qinji from China's northwestern city Lanzhou, is rushed to hospital after he drowned himself in the sea following his declined request by Hong Kong singer Andy Lau of a personal engagement with his daughter Yang Lijuan, a fanatical fan of Andy, in Hong Kong, March 28, 2007.

HONG KONG superstar Andy Lau went to see a psychiatrist after he came to know that the father of a fan had committed suicide, China Press reported.

Lau had disclosed this during an interview with a daily newspaper in Tianjin City recently.

Lau said he felt regretful over the incident in 2007, when his fan’s 63-year-old father, a retired middle school teacher, committed suicide.

Yang Lijuan, from Shenzen, has been fanatical about Andy Lau for 13 years

Lau’s fan, Yang Lijuan, from Shenzen, has been fanatical about him for 13 years and yearned very much to see him in person.

The father even sold their house to raise money for his daughter to attend Lau’s concerts in Hong Kong.

One day, after the father managed to help his 29-year-old daughter finally meet Lau, he jumped into the Salisbury sea in Hong Kong.

According to a report in chinadaily.com.cn, the father even left behind a letter pleading for Lau to meet his daughter for a second time.

Lau said the scariest thing after the incident was when he was flooded with a few hundred calls and over 3,000 SMSes every day from unknown callers threatening: “You don’t see me, I want to die.”

Lau said he sought help from a psychiatrist after two weeks as he became terrified when his phone rang and he had trouble sleeping.

When asked if he feared losing his fans if he talked about his marriage, Lau denied the suggestion and said he had other reasons.

However, he said now was not the time to reveal the reasons.


UPDATE: 26 Nov 2009
Andy Lau to start family in new bungalow



HONG KONG superstar Andy Lau is planning to move out from the house he now shares with his parents, reported Sin Chew Daily.

It added that Lau bought a RM46mil new bungalow near his current residence at Kadoorie Hill in Kowloon to have more privacy with his Malaysian wife Carol Chu with whom he is planning to start a family.

The main reason for moving, it said, was to protect themselves from the paparazzi.

It is learnt that Lau’s new house is a two-storey bungalow with high concrete fencing, unlike his current residence where he has to share a carpark with other residents.

The daily said the new bungalow had caught Lau’s attention as it was just a street away from his current place and would allow him to take care of his parents and visit them regularly.

UPDATE: April 2011

Andy Lau buy bungalow for pregnant wife Carol Choo in Ampang

ANDY Lau has bought a luxury bungalow in Ampang for the comfort of his Malaysian wife Carol Choo during her pregnancy, reported China Press.

The daily quoted a Hong Kong magazine as saying that the 48-year-old Hong Kong superstar had earlier bought Choo a house in Kuala Lumpur but she seldom stayed there as the media knew where it was.

It reported that the 44-year-old former beauty queen was expected to stay in Malaysia prior to her delivery. Lau has never admitted nor denied his wife's pregnancy.

Lau and Choo returned to Malaysia last week for the Qing Ming festival, but they did not visit Choo's parent's burial ground in Kuala Lumpur.

The couple apparently skipped the rituals, not because they wanted to avoid the paparrazi, but because the pregnant Choo was not allowed to participate in the rituals.

Amulets of Muay Thai: an Introduction

You've probably seen traditional fighters entering the ring with a whole bunch of stuff covering them. If you were wondering what they're called, and what they mean, here is a basic introduction.


Canada's World Champ Clifton Brown in full pre-fight attire

Mongkol (pronounced "Mong- kon"):



First off, the Mongkol is unique to Muay Thai, and is not used in Cambodia or Burma (which have very similar arts, such as Pradal Serey); that particular fact is from Wikipedia lol. The Mongkol is a often described as a "crown". It is a sacred (blessed by a monk) piece used to represent the gym or camp the fighter represents.
In the past, each camp had their own distinct Mongkols, but now gyms often have more than one. Fighters do not touch it; It is placed (before the fight) and removed (after the Ram Muay) by their Kru Muay.


Prajied:



These arm bands worn around the bicep are meant to protect the fighter from harm. They are worn throughout the whole fight. They are given to the fighter by friend, family etc

A fight between two legends: Orono the "Black Super man" (I'm not kidding...I read that they actually called him that) and Namkabuan the "Ring Genius"

By the way...for anyone that's actually followed this blog and the fighters I've posted- Here's pic of the two Oronos so you can tell them apart:


Orono Wor Petchpun (current phenom) and Orono (MT legend)

I came across that picture on google when trying to get pictures for both fighters featured in this post.

Get Open Crew/Alphabet Soup

The Get Open Crew
(from left)Kiambu/Push, Devan/Seyes, Baruch, Siba Giba and friend below
The crew was a collection of DJs, MCs, Producers and Graffiti writers, this was taken by me in New York 1992


Push Seyes 1992
Push was also known as Kiambu, an MC in Alphabet Soup (Headrush) an Early 90's Hiphop group, and Bruknahm. They had the sickest Blackbooks I have ever seen then and since. Next to the Syo (Seyes) throwy is a Omni 156/AOK/XTC/BYI throw up, who we also knew.

The group consisted of:
(from left Nubian, Melkuan, Deflon, Brother Love and Kiambu)

The group came out in 1991, and sounded similar to the Native Tongue's Black Sheep, but the production was a bit more experimental, and it was more openly Conscious/Political. It was released by independent label Akirfa Recordings which I think was based in a Comic shop, because that's where I got my copy, until Kiambu gave me some more to give to UK DJs. I met the rest of the group briefly when they came to our collage to chill with Kiambu.
I have a copy of a radio tape I recorded in London Xmas 1991 of Westwood or someone on Kiss playing it, and it featured in a Hip-Hop chart (Blues & Soul?) when it came out too. The group was forced to change their name to Headrush as there was another group called Alphabet Soup at that time on a major label.

Kiambu became a part of Bruknahm with along with Siba Giba and X-clan associate Saundi, and Released and album under that name and still record under the name The Get Open Crew, working with some European artists and Sadat X (Brand Nubian, LowLife). Deflon produced a track on a Mo Wax compilation in 95/96.

He has released two books, one a Hip-Hop version of the famous original Paris Graffiti Book 'Paris-Tonkar', featuring interviews with KRS-One, Tim Dog, and others in 1992. The other one was a Jazz book project, "Jazz Zoom, Carryin’ It On" started by his mother by Desdemone Bardin, who sadly passed away before she could see it finished. Desdemone Bardin was one of the first French educators to use Hip-Hop as a way to teach English, and was an early promoter of the culture in Paris.
He released his first record with a German label, and recorded a crew track with fellow label mates First Down a UK Hip-Hop group featuring Aroe (Aroe & The Soundmakers).
He runs OvertimeRecords and has produced for California early 90's underground legends Freestyle Fellowship, Daddy-O (Stetsasonic), Everlast (House Of Pain) and others.


He is currently working on The Hip Hop Loves Foundation. The Hip-Hop Loves Foundation (HHLF) educates underprivileged people globally through Hip-Hop culture’s positive and unifying attributes.
