New Training Program

As part of my 'rehab' for Aikido, I have decided to work on a couple of muscle groups.

For starters, I've been doing breathing exercises to keep my internal strength.
Now I shall add on the second phrase - punching with handgrips.

On a random note, I got scolded by a black belt for making my shiho nage uber sharp =p
He said that my shiho nage is designed to break the elbow n shoulder. Then again, isnt that the purpose of shiho nage on the streets? O well, I'm a strayed warrior :O

The Tyger
- William Blake

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
