I didn't go back to the doctors as I still have a few of these tablets left so i'll give it a bit more time. This'll be the 3rd time i would have gone to see the doc just about my elbow! Looks like it'll need a jab to calm it down. I can't keep having it jabbed though everytime it flares up as it'll ruin my arm.

 

I just assumed Flax seed would be in tablet form - I'll have to see if I can find a nicer tasting brand then. I'm not sure if DMSO is available in the UK, I'll have to have a look around.

 

Thanks again

Do not waste your time or money on Flax Seed Oil in pill form. You will have to take 20 pills to equal 4 tbps. That will get very expensive and annoying. I order my supplememnts from this company

Let me know how it goes. I suffered from tennis elbow for a VERY LONG TIME , and know the frustraition that comes along with it. I hope this helps

Thanks, guys.

 

My doctor is getting sick of seeing me I think, I'm always down there moaning it seems

 

I've stopped doing the activity that brought it on so i don't see why it won't go, I'm taking tablets as well. I hope karate isn't causing a problem.

 

I'll give Flax seed oil a go, what's DMSO btw?

Flax seed oil taste pretty bad. I would recomend taking Spectrum Cinnamon Flax Seed Oil. Thats the only stuff I cant swallow without any problems. Try taking 3-4 tbsp a day in the beggining. For DMSO, Make sure your elbow is totally clean( clean with alcochol prior) because the DMSO will take any agents on the skin into your blood stream and system. I aplly the dmso with cotton swabs. Good Luck and let me know how things go.

I know a couple...

 

There is a Filipino MA called Dumog/Buno. Its a grappling style:

 

Dumog is a general term used to describe the Filipino art of wrestling and grappling. There are two main forms of dumog. Agaw patid Buno, is the more commonly known form of dumog. It consists of standup grappling and wrestling, utilising off-balancing techniques, throws, and neck turning to force an opponent to the ground. Traditionally opponents would engage by holding a belt or encircling each other's waist and attempt to throw and unbalance each other. Victory was declared when the opponent's shoulders squarely touched the ground.

 

Musang Dumog is a ground fighting art, utilising locks, chokes and strikes to submit opponents on the ground. Both systems can be combined or learnt independently. The origins of both these styles is rather sketchy, however they are still relatively abundant in the northernmost islands of the Phillippines.

 

Another is a style called Panantukan...which is Filipino boxing, however they don't only use their firsts. They incorperate elbows, fists, forearms and i think head. They however don't only attack the normal targets of body and head. They also do something known as joint destruction, they attack joints and other areas to disable opponents.

 

Another Filipino art is called Yaw-Yan:

 

Yaw-Yan is a Filipino martial art developed by Grandmaster Napoleon Fernandez. The art resembles Muay Thai in a sense, but also utilises kicks which are found in Tae Kwon do. However, the origin is more often than not Filipino. The word Yaw-Yan was derived from the two last syllables of "Sayaw ng Kamatayan" meaning "Dance of Death". It uses roundhouse kicks which curve downwards (even from head level), which result in tremendous power when hip torque is applied. The punches include many punches found in western boxing, such as the uppercut, hook, swing and right cross, but also include back hands, bolo punches and corkscrew punches. It differs from the other empty-hand styles found in the Phillipines because it is often trained with gloves on, to allow full contact between sparring partners. Because of this, it doesn't employ the variety of limb destructions found in the other arts.

 

 

 

Another filipino art is kino-mutay

 

Kino-mutay is the Filipino art of biting, eye gouging and pinching. In itself, it is not a primary fighting style but employs techniques which can be readily grafted onto any other Filipino empty hands or weapons system (or any other martial art for that matter). There is little evidence that this art existed as a traditional fighting form and it is probable that its development is quite recent.

 

Another filipino style is called Kuntaw

 

Kuntaw is one of the oldest fighting systems in the Philippines. It is reportedly from the Sulu archipelago but has since worked its way North to other islands. It is a fighting system that utilises all the natural weapons of the body, such as hands, elbows, knees and feet. The hands are used for parrying, striking and grappling while the legs are used for lowline kicks and off-balancing sweeps and takedowns. The techniques all focus on evading and redirecting the energy of attacks, a common principle in many Chinese styles (which may have influenced Kuntaw somewhat). It must be noted that it is not strictly and empty hand system, and like in many Filipino martial arts, Kuntaw also utilises weaponry that can be substituted for any empty hand techniques it employs. Although this art was traditionally taught very secretly, today it is taught publicly throughout the Philippines and the rest of the world.

 

Hey did I mention I'm Filipino!

 

 

 

I recently started studying Kali Jukune Do. Its a very complete FMA which incoporate Kali, Mano y Mano, Buno, Sippan-Sunotakan, Eskrima, Jujitsu and Aikido. We study techniques, forms, snad full contact sparring. This art was passed down the Manaois family line and taught and structered here by Grandmaster Conrad Manaois

I would recomend taking Flax Seed Oil and DMSO. Flax Seed Oil should be taken daily regardless of tennis elbow because of all the great benifits it provides for your body, which include reducing inflamation and greasing up those joints . DMSO should also be used from time to time if you find yourself having flair ups. I would give both a try. I suffered from tennis elbow for a very long time, even without much physical activity. I tired many things from shark cartilage to MSM. It wasnt until I started using both DMSO and Flax, that I was able to get rid of the problem. Good Luck

If there is some inflamation, try taking some flax seed oil. That will help
