“When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re smiling and everyone around you is crying.” - Old Indian saying “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” - William Arthur Ward “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain “Use what talents you possess: The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.” - Henry Van Dyke “This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.” - ‘Hamlet’, Act I Scene III - by William Shakespeare “If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.” - Edward O. Wilson “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” - Søren Kierkegaard

I assume we're talking Kilos? What training do you do now? It depends on how much weight training you've done & to what level. If you're new to weights I'd say you could put on 5kg of muscle in about 6 months if you're a "hardgainer".

San Shou would be pretty cool - that Cung Lee's a bit good

Pat - do we ALL vote of just those off that team?

Ad - we're talking (or I am) about development stretching, not maintenance or warm up stretching.

Ok here it is. This morning I weighed in at 13st 4lbs - That's 186lbs or 84.5kg My goal is to get down to 172lbs by the end of April. I also want to ensure thjat I loose no muscle mass during the process. I'll do my bodyfat% tonight - neeed a new battery for my calipers. So - who's next? I'll check in each day with weight & how the diet & training is going. I plan to cut calories to 1500 per day, increase cardio work, and eat a high protein, low complex carb diet.

Ok then let's go - I'll start the Weight Loss Club as I could do with cutting some for summer Ahazmaksya - you start thw eight game club. OK?

"Don't hit at all if it is honourably possible to avoid hitting, but never hit soft." ...Theodore Roosevelt If that first kick to the guts had been hard - as hard as possible , you would have ended it there instead of poncing about, and others would think twice about having a go. Maybe now they are thinking they'll have a go 'cos you hit like a wuss

Ok - but I too have alarms bells ringing at what you describe! Guro Inosanto Not Guru Are you sure he has been taught by Guro Inosanto? Seems very odd. I know of some who claim to represent the IAMA but actually have just attended a bunch of seminars!

What a kind & caring species we are.

"Strong men can always afford to be gentle. Only the weak are intent on "giving as good as they get." ...Elbert Hubbard "Don't hit at all if it is honourably possible to avoid hitting, but never hit soft." ...Theodore Roosevelt "You can't shake hands with a clenched fist." ...Indira Gandhi and my fave at the moment........ "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ...Theodore Roosevelt _________________ YODA KarateForums Sempai 2nd Degree Black Belt : Doce Pares Eskrima https://www.docepares.co.uk Qualified Instructor : JKD Concepts https://www.jkdc.co.uk Qualified Fitness Instructor (Weights, CV, Circuit, Kinesiology) [ This Message was edited by: YODA on 2002-03-21 11:11 ]

Sounds like this needs checking out. Who is this school run by? Send it to me privately if you wish & I'll check it out for you. Oh - and it's Guro Inosanto - or at least Mr Inosanto.

Wooo Hoooo Mag 6 Rocks

It means taking your joint to or slightly beyond full extention i.e. straigtening it fully - "locking it out". The danger is that by going to full extention there is no room for error - any extra movement leads you into the dangerous world of hyper-extention

If you believe the hype & do the loading phase as recommended then you will need a LOT of water. After that it's pretty normal - as an athlete you should be drinking a lot of water anyway. For those that take it - what is your daily dose?

"stretching every day for about the past 2 months" There's the answer to your question - take a day off!

I realised something today - I'm a year older than I thought I was - 39! Wow! Where did that year go?

Wow - so what your Sensei is saying is - we don't want people like you in our society. So - what must they do to survive OUTSIDE of our society? The answer is - commit crime!

Red leather yellow leather

Good call Phantasmatic Rather than seeking happiness & growth, just do as much good as you can, give of yourself without regard for your own progress and your growth is almost guaranteed!

Thanks Sai Anyone any questions on this one before I move on to the next?

I take it 4 weeks on, 1 week off. It does exactly what it says on the tin
