While working my weight loss program on Sunday I met a guy named Ron at the gym working the heavy bags.

We pounded the bags and kept the cardio up to a level where we could talk.

It was kind of fun meeting someone who had been in the arts as long as I have been (21 years at this point with about 16 that were really active)… we talked about old fighters like Joe Lewis, Benny “The Jet” Urquidez, Bill “Super-foot” Wallace.

While we hit the bag we also talked about the commercial success of guys like Billy Blanks (of Tae Bo fame) and of point fighters that used to compete against him years ago.

Over-all it was a pretty light workout but I got 200 round kicks in for the session and about 40 total minutes of constant bag work striking at about 60% of my maximum power… not bad for a light day.
