Instead of that, which you are prepared, in some fashion, get a sparring partner. he does have to be a martial artist. Get him to hold padding from different angles while moving around. You can hit those pads thus achieving the same thing, nut better.

I guess, it also depends on the "quality and manufacturer. Manufacturers should have washing instructions.

Can it be a quasi-sacarstic remark? Hmmnn. How about all of the above.

Just a little side humor. Sorry if you didnt like it.

Welcome. (thought-I need to add more lines) Enjoy the board. Karate is ok. At least it falls within some category.

Yes, comfortablility is the key. So why can't one meditate laying down?

WW, I have pondered. If one takes a shower or go swimming, does his iron face kung fu get "rusty"? And, is there a certain type of lubrication?

So I guess this is a "No No" like smoking from "extreme health conscious"?

Is it like anything that takes lots of determination, sweat, and practice?

Have a tourney gi separate from a heavy training gi.

"Oh wow, what are trying to do-tickle me?" "Bring it on old man, take your Geritol first"

I guess if you defeat a adversary with a cane, gives a whole new meaning of "caning" (someone)

Good point. I was about to state the same. I like them all. Although G.O.D. was a "pieced together" one that was "shelved clips"

Yes, but not many schools, i.e. McDojos, want to "expell" their client-er student

In what manner? One of my Shifus, consumes a little wine. His Shifu, had also and lived into his 80's. Do you mean going out with the "boys"?

So, is the general agreement that books are "reference data" and not actual supplemental training?

I had a pair of them long ago with a laced crotch and bell-bottoms!

Gymnastics should help in flexibility, agility, and balance. I think it could enhance, or help. it won't "hurt"

MenteReligieuse Gremelin Gung Fu-cannot be performed in "bright light" I had a realtive that was on a "jogging kick". He had used ankle weights. But, he had twisted his ankle severely. From what he had told me, via his doc, that the ankle weight had contributed to the pressure of the twist.

Hey, we have one like that. Great workout as I have younger people 'panting". For advanced, we do a "double pyramid" Starting of with "2's" 2, then 4, then 8, then 16.....

Meditation takes a lot of practice. Start of with a few minutes. Some people say to close the eyes and clear the thoughts. However, as a beginner, perhaps use thoughts, such as a place-beach, forest, etc., to start.

But is BJJ different in techniques than JJJ? And which are? And are their any exactly like AJJ and Aikido, and Judo?

Yes, sparring has many different levels/versions

Kids? Luckily that kid walked away.

Kung Fu, is as effective as any other art pending the instructor, student, and situation.
