That's only very generally speaking of course. Some big guys are very fast, but just answering why there is this stereotype.

Because bigger guys are often more generally tense. Being tense means that both agonistic and antagonistic muslces are at least partially contracting. As we all know, movement relies on one of the pairs being more relaxed than the other. Speed of movement dictates that the greater the difference in relaxation/flexion, the greater the speed. If both sides are partially tensed, the difference between them is reduced and therefore, so is the speed.

Sorry, no, asking TSD Y049

Man, that would be fantastic!

Ummmm, where's the pic?

Funny as anything! Terrible self defence situation though!!! **Guy lays down to force ground fight. Guy standing up kicks him in the head while he's already down*** HAHAHAHA

I rekon he'd be working in really bad blue movies with a chick called "layla" hahaha

Mate, there's no such thing as too late. We had a guy join us, he was about 48. He reached his black belt. Late 20's..... no problem!!!!

Welcome to KF! Certainly happy to help. Just drop some specific questions in and we'll see how we go. I have a question for you to start with though... What's the difference between Shotokan and Shotokan-Jutsu?

Welcome to KF! Don't worry about that forum now. You're on this one. Hope you have fun while you're here.

English - Fluent Japanese - Enough for the dojo Korean - I can count to 10 German - I can remember small part of the language.

A friend of mine shaves his legs. At first it was for his running, but now he just does it cos he likes the look of it.

As mentioned, there are some limitations on these machines. They can only do one exersize and they need to be used continuously (like any normal stretching). The main advantage of them is this. When doing an excersize like the splits, the muscles need to be slightly contracted to support your weight. The only way to fully stretch is to relax the muscles you are stretching. This machine allows you to do that.
