Help against a bullie
dont start a fight. but you dont put up with crap like that either. dont let let yourself be pushed around. if he hits you again, and you DO make the decision to hit back. go after him with EVERYTHING. he's tall, but theres plenty of low places that hurt like hell. even if he still wins. if you hurt him good, he wont hit you anymore. be smart about it too, i'm not promoting violent behavior, but you can't just let people hit you like that. try not to get in trouble unless it's unavoidable. forget about learning a few martial arts moves that probably wont do you much good in your sitiuation, you don't have time to master a martial art if this guy is bullieing you now. either be a runner or a fighter. the best way to learn how to swim, is to dive in.

ways to stop blinking
blinking is a common problem. just keep making note of it when it happens and why you think it happened. you'll improve. i see bad blinking and flinching problems in students who have a (dont get hit, dont get hit ) mentality, rather than a ( is it clear to bash him ) mentality. think about it.

Let's talk about kicks.
i'm a conservative kicker as well. you really need a lot of speed and accuracy to deliver a good high kick in a real fight. still... the high and fancy ones are fun to practice, and still help build power for the kicks you you throw more often.

Freestanding Heavy Bags
i have a free standing bag, and i have the base filled with water. i can punch the crap out of it and it will almost fall over, it moves around too much. also the height adjusts which i thought was pretty cool but if you hit it hard it will come off the notch and fall down to the lowest setting. the bag works, but i still prefer hanging bags.

what do you think of bowflex
too pricey without the same benefits of free weights

3 day workout - Which muscles to work on each day?
if your lifting three days a week. try compound sets. by that i mean target a specific group of muscles and make sure you get a full pump that day. an example of a compound set would be working out your triceps and biceps at the same time. that way you can can a full pump for that full region and not work them out on opposing days. so just keep it simple. do your legs on day 1. your biceps triceps and shoulders on day 2. and on day three do your back chest and traps. another reason for that is you might not want to work out your arms and your chest on the same day because you have to use your arms in order to work out your chest. if you do it this way you can focus on your chest a lot more without stressing your arms. your abs should be done at least every other day regardless if your working that day or not. there easy to do and you can quickly do some sit ups anywhere.
-
Situps fast or slow?
do them both. you'll feel the difference. forget doing sets of whatever number because it becomes a pattern your used to achieving and you wont want to do more. just make your sets as many as you can do till that specific ab region you are working out fails. your core region will strengthen more quickly.

Northern or Southern? which better? and monkey question
InsaneTigerCrane replied to ChinoXL's topic in Kung Fu, JKD, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, and Chinese Martial Artsmy tiger crane is a mixture of southern tiger and northern crane. at first you train them seperately so you can understand there distinct differences. northern styles use longer range of movements and utilize more kicks. southern styles are more tight, close range power, and use really low stances. cant say which i think is better if you can even say one is better than the other. my body is more adept to northern styles cause of my lean body structure, but i like close range fighting more. it's difficult to show in clarity when your using a southern or northern technique in your forms. i dont' know if i answered your question but i hope i gave you at least a little insight.
