Anybody have suggestions on making a homemade belt display?

Any ideas on making my own makiwara?

Over 30 isn't too young...but thanks for the advice.

Great - I'll check it out!

I'm hardly every on ibuprofen since I started the chiropractor

Yeah, if I ever really overdo it or do something I'm unaccustomed to - I feel nothing the next day and then it slams you the 2nd day!

Thanks! Today - 50 jjacks 10 kicks each leg for front/side/round Worked through my forms and one-steps Got class tonight

I read the other thread, but did not hear how to best condition for different breaking techniques (fist, palm, heel and elbow). We start breaking at Green Belt level so I'm curious.

What are burpees?

What does a hook kick accomplish IRL that a side kick wouldn't? Do you try to grab something with your heel or what?

Isn't hapkido fighting using pressure points, etc.?

I have been in TKD for a very short time in the past. I loved it and decided to keep going in martial arts now that its about 7 years later! The school that was closest/most affordable to me is a World TSD school. I felt disloyal to TKD at first, but I'm loving it.

Lots of great advice - I've got my first tournament in a couple of months!
