or you can bare knuckle a punching bag.

so what if google tracks your ip. are you doing anything illegal? and what out there is considered illegal online? out of the millions and millions of hits google gets, im sure they dont recognize everyone and every site one goes to.

you need to move next door to neighbors who have a bag set up on their porch.

have you tried it? if you have, did it help?

I dont have contracts...they do. This was the only place in town I could afford. You might be able to afford more, I can't, so I take what I can get on my weak paycheck. It is a little mcdojo, and a little real. i saw signs of both.

Ill check that out today, and will let you know. Im interested myself to see what happens.

I enjoyed it at first, and still do the stretching part every day on my own. I love pushups and cardio training, and punching bags. Thought the legs could handle the kicking, but after 12 years of soccer, my legs can run, and thats about all they can do. My hips cant handle right round house kicks, my hips cant handle inside out kicks, my hips cant handle side kicks, and my knees hate round house and front kicks. i signed up for a year because that was cheapest, and i loved it at first.

i think ill be chalking it up to experience. things like this happen. o well. until i find an affordable boxing gym, ill be hanging out next door hitting the bag. nice chatting with you all. good luck in your training

Yea, the sign at the dojang says we are not supposed to quit, but i will not be continuing my martial arts after this one year contract is through. its murder on my knees. i dont think the instructors are the best either. i dont like painful knees. i really really dont. especially being 6'3", i have lankey legs. im tempted to just quit now. go back to boxing, something i enjoy. o well. i did sign up a year. whatever.

great line. I was thinking this the whole time. I hate the gym, and hate thinking I have to get big. Im happy with my routine right now. TKD, running up stairs at a garage downtown, going to the park to do chin ups, and a great chest workout at my neighbors house. Flat bench press, then out back to hit the punching bag. My chest always gets ripped after that. And it is all free!

ive gone from 4 times a week to two times a week. my bones just werent designed for TKD.

i guess some of us have different definitions of fun

then i guess there is only one other option EAT MORE

Im not about to say weights are worthless, because we all know that would just be wrong. But I was reading a fitness book by some karate master yesterday, oriental guy, and it was all about increasing strength. Quite a few of the exercises invloved this: moving really slow, and straining. For example- pretending there is a giant rock in front of you, and straining and pushing it away from you, slowly. Well, I went home and tried some of them, and I'll tell you, 10 minutes into it, I was dripping wet, and it was working! Has/does anyone else ever do these kinds of exercises?

read the golfing magazines and you hear about wood's and his workouts. juggle golf? what else does he have to juggle? the guy has a great workout plan, and is one tough cookie. who cares what he can bench. he has put on weight since he has started pro, and it hasnt been fat.
