The_Ryno

What's up everyone. I just found the site tonight, and sofar, I love what I see. Seems like almost everyone is making an effort to genuinely assist their peers. I hope I can be of assistance as well. If anyone needs nutritional advice, or tips on general training, I'm your guy. Until next time... The Ryno has left the building.

One of my trainers had a load bearing pole in his dojo wrapped once with an old wrestling mat and then duct taped. Being slapped repeatedly in the shins with a shoto(?) helped to deaden the nerves and build up a tolerance to pain.

Go to https://www.martialartssupermarket.com and order some thai linement. rub it into everything that hurts (outside the groin protector, there's menthol in it) Prior to training, warm up for at least 10 minutes, then stretch when you're warm. After training intensely, a cool down period as long as your warm up would help. If you do get a strain, RICE. Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Another thing you can do to prevent over stressing is to supplement Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and Collagen to build connective tissue. Hope that helps.
