When you spend a lot of time training in Iron Palm your mind will tend to wander over the course of the training session. I always warm up with my gravel bag before I go to the steel bag and today I noticed a couple more holes forming in the bag that need a bit of athletic tape to cover them up. This started me thinking that I really need to get a new bag. Then I asked myself why I would want to do that since I only spend a few minutes with this bag and, I have grown attached to it. This then got me thinking about the other training aid I have had but just can not seem to give up. Even when I have a pair o shoes that I just can not ware anymore, I still can not throw them out. Of coarse my weapons have been with me a long time – some from the beginning and they are different but, in a way, the same as I have attachments for them too. I do not know about anyone else but to me, everyday I train, I am training with old friends.
