I haven't lived close to any of the significant issues they targeted for activism, so my membership has been extremely passive. Mostly just pay dues and read newsletters. I'm still active duty, so I can't really go do things with them very easily. @Deleted User

@eastern.patriarch How did running all those miles affect your lower body? Any injuries today?

gotcha @Argument of Perigee

No, I never had any major injuries. I always squatted and kept my posterior chain strong so no IT band or such injuries. Took time off when needed. The only drawback tbh is that it made me super fucking fat. What happens is that when you get good at it, a 30 mile bike ride seems like a waste of time. a 5 mile run? Why bother? So my caloric input when working out at that level were yuuge. Then i had kids so no more eduro for 50 hours a week but guess what, forgot to cut my calories from 5K soooo.... 😃 Anyway, longwinded explanation but if I could do it again I would lift more and keep eduro stuff low but then again I did it because back then I was in a rough spot personally so it really helped me drain myself physically and emotionally.

@here are some videos of our meeting today, in a high temperature of 19 degrees Farenheit. Me, @Reinhard Wolff, @Matthias, and @Jeb! Nationalism - MD were the only ones who posted, but we had a lot of fun. The first fifteen minutes were really cold but, once we got rolling, we warmed right up!

Thank you for the uploads Will

Nice!

@Matthias Of course brother. You look pretty good. That high guard can be a pretty effective base defense. I also think it's really important to have a CEO who can scrap, even though we are a peaceful organization.

we just got a lot of good footage in Southern California yesterday with @Robtheroman. Should be coming soon.

boxing sparring

Awesome

that last fight, Will just kept circling back 😅

i was waiting for him to be more offensive

A must watch

@Deleted User haha you know we can't be whompin' too hard on the new lads or they won't come back.

he looked alright for bein a new lad though

Yeah he really did

@Robtheroman I dream of a day that IE can make a video like that. Western men used to be that way. We can be that way again.

@Robtheroman That's who we're meant to be. Very inspiring.

(Also not a bad Thor Steinar ad)

@Robtheroman It's funny, I was just talking to my wife about this. When I was a boy growing up in the 90s, when we boys would read about the Spartans, Celts, Romans, etc. in class, we'd be totally pumped and wanted to be like them. Then our female (and some male) teachers and classmates would say things like "Well, yeah, but, you know, the Spartan men would be gay with each other," and "Well, yeah, but, you know, real men are sensitive to the needs of women." In this way, we learned to reject the masculine behaviors of old and were taught a new idea of masculinity that revolved less around physicality and brotherhood, and more around tolerance and understanding. This has been the experience of most western men in the modern era.

Agreed was the same when I was in school. Then I'd come home and tell my dad and he would be like they is warriors they ain't no faggots.(thick country accent) thank god I had my dad growing up to keep me on track and not believing the propaganda.

Start punishing mistakes with a nice left hook Will you're too soft on all us young'ins haha

Jokes aside, great footage guys and nice to see everyone making it out to train despite the cold.

We'll have to do some sparring sessions this summer.

I've gotten rusty living up in the mountains -- first time sparring in months and my defense was noticeably worse

Thought you looked good. You definitely move around good.

@Reinhard Wolff you’re still just as aggressive, which is a good sign. The rest is just mechanics.

We also learned that scrapping in freezing weather is pretty close to any other kind of scrapping once you get moving.

@Reinhard Wolff Without being sycophantic, that’s one of the things I know about you that I knew would make you a good leader. Most intelligent guys aren’t aggressive; their imaginations take over and they tend to be conservative. When you spar with an intelligent guy who is aggressive - that’s a rare combination. I’ve watched you spar with guys who outweigh you by between 25 and 75 pounds and your instinct is still to press the attack. There’s something about fighting that lets you get to know a man in a way that sitting down to dinner won’t.
