Long before the 2017 movie, Cabal Fang was using an 8-point combat clock called the Star of Ishtar -- a universal symbol for the divine feminine associated with the ancient Babylonian goddess Ishtar. You will note that the star on this fictional Amazon's diadem is a star of similar design.
Symbols colonize our subconscious minds and permeate the world's cultures.
It's quite possible the artists and costume designers working on the film didn't consciously change the original 5-pointed star from the comic books to an 8-pointed Star of Ishtar. They probably did it without even realizing they were doing it.
In the meantime, for this week's involution we're going to take our training inspiration from Amazon warriors and ancient symbols...
Amazon Babylon: Martial Arts Training Involution #207
Warm-up thoroughly for at at least 8 minutes. Do 2-3 minutes each of (a) jumping rope (b) light calisthenics and (c) shadowboxing, forms, or light heavy bag work, or 8 minutes of MBF.
10 minutes of crams. Get on your forging post, pell or war-post and work your crams. If you don't have a post, use your grappling dummy today -- and then go put up a post in your gym or back yard tomorrow.
Practice the Star of Ishtar drill for 10 minutes. Don't know it? It's in the Cabal Fang Study Course.
10 minutes of heavy carries. Want to be Amazon strong? The ancients had no barbells -- they carried loads and lifted stones. Set a timer for 10 minutes and bear hug or shoulder carry your heavy bag (or appropriate substitute based on your fitness level) until the timer beeps. Put the weight down and take a break as few times as possible. Finish the whole 10 minutes without putting it down and you're either a monster or you picked too light a load.
1 mile run. The ancient Greeks were big on running. Cover a mile as fast as you can.
Contemplation. Cool down for about 3 minutes, then set a timer for 10 minutes. Assume your meditative posture of choice and regulate your breathing to insure a slow and consistent rhythm that completely fills and empties your lungs without bearing down on your breath. Eyes open. Gently allow your mind to empty and calm itself. Don't make war with thoughts, just let them pass by, dissipating like ripples on the surface of a pond.
