I've been following a training program known as Functional Patterns. It is non-conventional training and has really helped me iron out my aches and pains. The founder also really has a passion for MMA and I use many of his training exercises. Here is a video of his on punching.

Any news on Sickness of the Hear 3, or whatever the next Cortez project will be? You did say that it will be a long while before that project is finished...
I was reminded of it again when reading isegorias recent:
isegoria.net/2017/02/smallpox-salmonella-and-cocoliztli
Fun fact, you two both have Conquest of New Spain & Storm of Steel on your must read lists.
I lost my translator for the project and do not foresee continuing the project especially in light of the slight interest.
I do have a taste for the period and will hopefully find an expeditionary journal for another entrada unabridged and in English.
Thanks for the interest.
Speaking of!
You may enjoy this podcast with Buddy Levy, whose book Conquistador you recommended:
"We discuss the story of a driven conquistador and what led to the defeat of an Aztec King. We are sure you will be surprised by the events that ultimately became one of history’s most intriguing meetings between two very different cultures."
