Proxy Sites!

Here is a post mainly for Kru, Arash and Niloo, who have complained work has blocked favourite web pages. I'm not saying you SHOULD surf at work, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check your email right?

"All Proxy Sites maintains a list of currently active proxy sites which enable visitors to browse the web anonymously.

These proxy sites are extremely useful to circumvent content filters like SmartFilter and WebSense. This allows people to browse the web unhindered at school or work."

Note that some proxy sites are blocked from work places already. If so...just google "proxy sites" and keep looking for one that works. It shouldn't be too hard as I've tested it on other "workplace computers" before.

If the YUMT blog get blocked from work (!), you'll know how to view it. :)

Hope this works for you.

Get Running, Get Sprinting!

Sprints!!:
Group runs meet at 5:45 in the lobby of Tait. This Tuesday, fighters need to start their stair sprints again. This means the fighters should do the 2km route to warm up and then head to the stairs for sprints, every Tuesday.


Brian and I trying to beat our previous time on the sprint

A big high five (I don't know what else to give you) to all the students who have picked up on the running and are getting out there this semester:
Yvgennia, Kevin, Kari, Longdy, Niloo (I may be forgetting people...).

I've seen you guys pick up the running and push yourselves each time before class. Every time I've waited around for the group run, I've seen some of these people show up. I know the others are trying to run on their own according to their schedules.

Upcoming Events: Dinner, Sparring, Clubs

Chris S's going away dinner:
It will be on Thursday April 9th, right after class. The Boston Pizza is located near Downsview subway station. Come out and say a tearful goodbye to Chris S before he leaves for Aylmer... of all places. Oh and eat and drink too.. Very important points.

A nice way to start the long weekend.



NO CLASS on April 11 and 12th:
Easter weekend. Relax while you can ;)

Sparfest:
April 25th, come out and support Arash, Vlad, Serge, Brian, Cam, and possibly some of newer students as they participate in this hard sparring event. Names will be announced soon.



Club Night:
April 25th, the night of Sparfest (after we've been beaten or giving beatings), we'll be hitting up a club and having some fun. Fighters, you are all on Kru's "no drinking" list. Club is TBA

More Exchanges: Clifton Brown and Buakao video

Here's video of Siam No.1 Toronto's own Clifton Brown doing some technical sparring with Buakao (fast fwd to 1:00). Thanks to Kru for bringing this to my attention. Enjoy!

yes, I took the time to crop these stills lol

Thai Exchanges: Buakao vs Namsaknoi video

So in the spirit of our last class (where we did some exchanging kicks), here's a video with some of that. In a lot of classical style Thai fights, exchanging kicks back and forth is something you'll see alot.

It's very Thai style for them to just exchange kicks until one of them wants to stop taking it, and mix it up again (at least I think that's what it is lol).



You'll recall I posted about Namsaknoi (former multiple title holder in Thailand) a while back? Well, he and Buakao recently did a demo (exhibition).

It's not too much to watch, since they're really just playin' around, but I thought some of you might want to see it. Actually, Buakao puts in a few choice shots....anyways, check it out. They have some good exchanges here (one of them is at 5:48), and it's easier to see since they aren't going full out.
