What's the best age for kids to start Karate training ?!

Totally agree with you

Yes, I think you are right

5 minutes walk from my home

That's good but just keep it on "as required basis" as much as you can

for pain relief I would recommend (as a pharmacist) paracetamol on regular basis (maximum 4 gm daily) and Ibuprofen on when required basis. If more pain relief is needed better to check with your GP till you visit the Rheumatologist. wish you get better soon and keep us updated N.B: please make sure you are not allergic to paracetamol & ibuprofen before using it

Both land- and water-based exercises are beneficial for patients with rheumatoid arthritis at all stages of the disease. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have better outcomes in both psychological and physical function if they engage in aerobic exercise of moderate to high intensity. Rheumatoid arthritis disease activity is not substantially increased by exercise, a common fear in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. A recommendation for regular aerobic and strengthening exercise in all these patients is therefore appropriate. Exercise may also reduce the risk of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, but this is unproven. The role of diet in rheumatoid arthritis remains controversial. Several studies have shown that dietary modifications including strict vegan diets, gluten-free diets and the Mediterranean-style diet produce small benefits in rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. However, no single diet results in consistent improvement for all patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The Mediterranean-style diet, characterised by a high consumption of fruit, vegetables, cereals and legumes, a little red meat but more fish, olive oil as the main source of fat, and a moderate intake of wine, appears to be the most universally accepted dietary intervention and has the added benefit of weight control and cardiovascular risk modification. above mentioned advice is copied from Therapeutic Guidelines 2014. wish it would help u as well regarding diet and exercise

Wagnerk, you can find some good info about Sjogren's syndrome on this link, wish it might help. http://www.sjogrens.org/home/about-sjogrens-syndrome/patient-information

As a Pharmacist, I would say it might be a micro crack (micro fracture) as long as you can bend it but picture only isn't enough. I totally agree with wagnerk, you have to get it checked by your GP (most probably will ask for an X-ray). Wish you get better soon and keep us update.

Lucky me I am in Sydney but I think those in Adelaide are melting man it's 46 degrees today

For me the best threads were : Kyokushin and Shotokan http://www.karateforums.com/kyokushin-and-shotokan-vt45383-20.html & Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs http://www.karateforums.com/sheep-wolves-and-sheepdogs-vt43473.html?highlight= What about yours?

Hi guys, It would be interesting to share which thread on the forum you liked most and why ? Would be great if you can add the thread's link as well

Nice Video specially for a beginner like me ... Thanks for sharing

Thanks Yamesu, it's an american brand I guess, hopefully with little bit of search I might find some evidence for its efficacy

Hi Guys, I know that there were previous threads about muscle building supplements, but I have been seeing many ads on the internet about something called " Muscle ZX90" It has 3 natural ingredients (Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (A-AKG), L-arginine and L-citrulline) that are pretty safe to use and give fast results to help you gain muscle mass and burn fats out as they claim. Has anyone tried Muscle ZX90 supplement. Any feedback ?! That's one of the links speaking about it : http://musclezx90reviews.com/[/u]

I know it's a lifetime journey, but for me time is always a concern !! Imho, it shouldn't be a concern. I will try

It's a life time journey; time should never be concerned. I know it's a lifetime journey, but for me time is always a concern !!

Thanks Harkon72 ... Solid post as usual

I think you are right sensi8

Very nice topic and simple classification I think it's applicable most of the times but do you think a sheep can turn to a sheepdogs one day ?

Just wondering, how long do you take to apply the self defense techniques you learn in your MA style to a real situation in the street? what do you actually need to do to improve your abilities/performance in the real situations? Your thoughts please guys

Solid post
