Our JuJitsu school was in our garage for several years. It was quite homey and I never needed a babysitter!!!

I'm sorry, but I disagree. I understand what you mean, but you should respect everyone. Of course you should respect everyone! That is how you earn respect in the first place. It's like the age old question.."Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Moved to Korean Arts

Respect is earned, not demanded.

Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation. If not getting better in 2-3 days...see a doctor! Exercising now won't give it a chance to heal.

Welcome back!

Roundhouse has different deliveries and foot shapes that depend on the target and or situation. Laurie and I train at the same school these days and we apply the ball of the foot as she describes in most situations except sparring-as we train Olympic style (we also use a slightly different path of delivery in some cases). However,for beginners-in general, when teaching kicking for the first time, we do not discuss "ball of the foot" until they have completed the first one or two belt levels as our emphasis is on teaching them the gross motor movements involved in kicking, i.e., chamber ( or knee lift), extension, and recoil. Transition to the "basic" foot shape (ball of the foot) is much easier when they are already fluid in their kicking movements. The same applies to front kick. Pulling the toes back properly takes concentration, flexibility of the ankle joint and toes, and time!

Hey...We can be gimps together now!!!!!

At my former TKD school they were as follows: 1st degree black=Cho Gyo Nim 2nd degree black=Bu Sa Bum Nim 3rd degree black=Sa Bum Nim 4th degree black=Bu Kwan Jang Nim 5th degree and up=Kwan Jang Nim I do not know if these are universal to TKD or not.

Happy Birthday!

A good plan!

A balanced low fat diet is the best because you need enough calories to fuel your muscles or your body will take what it needs from your mass not your fat. Eating 6-8 small meals per day keeps your metabolism (and fat burning) going as long as you are doing at least 30 minutes of AEROBIC exercise 3 time a week. Keeping you heartrate down and running for a longer period of time equals increases fat burning too, as does weight training to increase your muscle size-more muscles equal more calories burned eat day! By balanced I mean and equal number of protein gms and carb gms at each meal-the actual amount will depend upon how many calories you need daily to reach your ideal BMI. You can google BMI to find a formula to help you calculate this. Good luck!
