I order to be a great martial artist you have to go beyond good . That’s why here in Nei Wai Chia Kung Fu we stress flexibility, endurance, and strength. Being as i was a competitive Power lifter & Bodybuilder many moons (moons my aunt Nelly , how’s about decades) ago. I get a lot of people who want to know where some of my knowledge comes from .Well, many years ago i had the pleasure of doing a workshop and some training with the very first Mr. Olympia Larry Scott. Larry was phenomenol among bodyuilders and reknowned for his knowledge of phisiology and kinesiology. His mentor was a man who made Larry look like a beginner when it came to precision training .His name was Vince Gironda and he was a combination of genius trainer and screaming curmugen . To check both of these guys out see www.youtube.com and type in a search for both Larry Scott & Vince Gironda. Especially see Vince Gironda Drag Curl. He just about makes one young lady cry.
This is a basic weight training program that highlights the back for those of you that have that problem. It is quick and uses a “Giant Set” where you do no resting at all until all exercises are finished. That’s 1 set. You will do 3 sets using about 12 repetitions for beginners, 5 sets of 8 reps with appropriate weight for intermediates, and 8 sets of 8 for advanced lifters. Do the following exercises.
warm up for about 5 minutes running, jump rope, etc.
Deadlifts (knees slightly bent)
Squats
Rows
Presses Overhead
and Bench Presses
(The whole routine should never take over 45 minutes three times a week)
That’s it add weight only when your number of giant sets feels too easy. Your back will improve quickly and pain will be a thing of the past.

Make arrangements to go IT WILL BE FANTASTIC!
Parents and kids, we offer our heartfelt apologies for there being no kid’s class on thursday.
This is gonna be a goodie so sit back and get ready because here it comes.
Mr Newberry was unable to make class because he was stopped from going out his front door by African “Killer: Bees!!!!! Honestly, I couldn’t make this stuff up! He was told to stay in his house until they were disposed of. Needless to say he called me to get your phone numbers (His were taken home by me to update) and my phone numbers on the computor were nowhere to be found.
We have since seen to it that your phone numbers are going to be in hard copy, computor, at his house, my house, the academy, on a wall plaque, (on the back of my car, on a billboard,) Now I am kidding, but you get the idea.
In order to make it up to you, we will have a special Saturday March 21 class at 10am to 11:30. Please come and enjoy yourself and once again OUR APOLOGIES! THIS WON’T (Can’t)
HAPPEN AGAIN!
