Khukuri knife fighting techniques

No, I haven't. Training outside of Japan is so different from training in Japan that training here doesn't do me any good. I tried it, and it just didn't work. Different goals, different methods.

No dizziness, I feel fine. I have a lot of stored energy...8)
 
No offense Danny, but that may not be a good idea.

Calorie counts that low put your body into survival mode and it tries to store as much energy as it can as fat.

I'd suggest 1200 Calories per day, plus the exercise. I recommend this because it's what I've done this last year, and I've lost 50 pounds since last September.

I've been obese since before I turned 10 years old. I have been on and tried every thing and what has worked is as Cpl P said: 1,200 Calories and exercise.

The human body is a complex organic machine but at its simplest it really is an equation: calories consumed minus calories burned off = weight loss.
 
I have been obese since I was a child as well. I tried everything. I would say nothing worked, but that isn't true. Phen-fen worked great. I lost 60 pounds in 6 months. Then, they took that away from us. Low-carb works to maintain, but I am trying to lose it all as fast as possible, once it is off, I will "maintain."
I wish it were not so, but in the world I inhabit, a person is judged almost entirely by their appearance. I am tired of pretending I don't care and living in the margins.
I am down about 20 pounds so far, and I can already tell a difference in the way people treat me. Almost like a human...

You don't look overweight to me.
Could use a little toning up like most of us.
Start doing some high Repetition squats twice a week.Start with something like 135 or 225 for 20 reps and go up in reps to 30 then add weight.
Your body will have to adapt.
That will dump growth hormone and testosterone into your system and put muscle all over as well as burn fat.
Caucasians have adapted to store fat because they evolved in a cold climate.
Diet and cardio only will make people look like skinny fat guys.
It's in the genes.
You've been bred to carry a deer carcass miles and miles in the snow and struggle to stay warm.
High rep squats and a caveman diet will work with your genetics.
500 calories a day will put your body in survival mode and you will store fat and burn muscle for energy.
 
What calories I am consuming are entirely protein - egg whites or buffalo or lean turkey.
And lots of water and vitamins.
Dude, I am totally seeing that deer carcass in the snow graphic in my head. It's so vivid, I could swear it was a memory.
 
If you have been on this for awhile, you need to add a little bit of carbs and give your kidneys a rest. Only protein can be bad for long periods of time. The more water the better. i know what you mean about training. I only train with other guys I know and it is usually in a garage or backyard. concentrate on what works. Experiment. I am sure there are some like minded people around, just may be difficult finding them. I am sure you would probably have more to offer them. If I hear of anybody in the Dallas area, I will let you know. My brother use to train in Austin. I'll see if he knows anyone in your area.

Didn't he also knock back a diet backed primarily by wine, too?

Some of those old school wrestlers... I remember reading about some of the old Indian wrestlers, who ate pounds of almonds and gallons of milk per week. Or course, they could also fight for hours on end and European wrestlers didn't know how to fight them in the old days of catch wrestling. But I digress...
I guess Danny should start with a baby deer and build up to an elephant?
And remember the almonds and red wine.

sorry to derail the thread even more but...
Do these exercises help with toning core muscles?

I have a friend :D who has put 6 inches on his waistline in the last 10 years. I - I mean he does kickboxing once a week for an hour but the waistline doesn't appear to be dropping. He is looking for exercises that target that specific area.

Wine, olive oil, stuffed grape leaves, yogurt, moussaka...you get the idea. A bit early in history for gyros, but in any case, the Mediterranean diet. After all, he was Greek!

Coming to a dietitian's office near you: My Big, Fat Greek Diet.:D

During my few months hanging out with the ODA, I saw a Marine gunny Sgt. using a huge cheap Rambo knife. He would pull it out, and use it to "herd" Afghans.

Danny, I was chubby my whole life. I started losing it at 19 by walking an hour a day, especially.

It has been awhile but Uncle Bill had a black gentlemen at the re-union who was a very skilled Bando practioner. There were many photos, maybe some of the old timers would care to post them. Ther are skilled Bando fighters who remain incognito. I know one here in Florida.
 
I believe it was Dr. Duvon Windborne, if memory serves correctly. I've probably met him once or twice in passing, but I've never trained with him.
I do get frustrated with a certain sector of the Bando practitioners, but you are correct; some of the older teachers are still quite "old school" about the art. I'm blessed that my teacher is something of a grumpy old curmudgeon who prefers things as they were in the past days.
