I am not sure but i think when they are closed they are used against pressure points or to hit with and when open they can cut( i am pretty sure) and for blocking (aluminum fans)
Do zoo's. You stand straight and touch the ground with a straight back and jump up and extened your arms repeat you should feel the pain in your calves.
Do you put them on your legs?? if so all it does is warm your muscels up so they stretch better. You can fill up a bottle with hot water or you can get one of those ice/hot pads and heat it up.
