Cool, Tom. Thanks for the tip. Do you keep the leg straight the whole time? Or do you snap it back to kick out?

Well, I have a messed up week. I am working an extra day, and it is throwing my schedule off a bit! 3-12-07 Chest and triceps Chest Bench press: 175x10, 205x6, 215x4 Incline bench: 115x10, 125x8, 135x6 I am noticing improvements here. Decline bench: 135x10, 165x6, 185x4 Same here, feeling better about it. Triceps Triceps push-down: 90x10, 105x6, 105x6 Bench dips: 3x10 Abs Decline abs: 3x15 Side raises: 3x20x25 lbs. Hanging knee raises: 3x12 Combat Hapkido was 3:30 - 5:00. We mixed in all kinds of stuff with it today, doing applications of takedowns and whatnot. It was a good time. Learned a lot. From 5:30 - 6:00, I taught Orientation class. I have 4 kids in there, and it is coming along ok. Had to skip regular class tonight to get ready to go to work. -
Let me know how that works out for you, Baron. I don't think not lifting is going to help you gain the flexibility any faster, but I could be wrong. Everyone is different. However, since I have started doing my conditioning drills and lifting more with my legs, I have not noticed any decrease in flexibility, or an increase in tightness in the muscles.

What are good exercises to improve hip rotation?
bushido_man96 replied to baronbvp's topic in Health and Fitness
Anytime, Baron! Let me know how they work out for you. I do that frog stretch regularly, and I think it helps, some. -
Yep. A dose of humility is a good thing every once in awhile. I agree, Baron. And that doesn't mean it has to be served up by someone else. You can take it yourself.

Lower your caloric intake, and increase your caloric output. Try doing 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise everyday. That should get you started.

Good luck to you guys!

favourite kick?
bushido_man96 replied to stejitsu's topic in TKD, TSD, Hapkido, and Korean Martial Arts
In the organization I was in previously, a kick was a spin kick if the kicking leg (back leg) landed as it started, in the back. It was a reverse kick if you spun and kicked with the back leg, and the kicking leg landed in front. I think this categorization helps save some confusion. But that is just me. -
They are great, but can mislead you at times. I have hit balls that go sideways, but on the screen, they go straight! It is nice, though, especially if it is a really hot day out, and you don't want to sweat too much. And the beer is on tap!

Thanks, Bushido Man. It pays the bills and keeps things interesting! After Germany, I'll be ready to stay in one place - most likely back to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. How long will you be staying in Germany?
-
Well, that is tough. I think I like Pinan Yodan better. I would go with that one.

Hi all, Hav'nt introduced myself yet! :)

Welcome to the Forums! -
Am I really! I didn't here that. Awesome!
-
I think you should get together with some of your other girl friends and tag along with them for everything. That way, you will have a guide, and can discuss different options and whatnot. Have fun!

I enjoy reading.

I'm glad to hear the situation was taken care of.

As far as Western weapons go, most of the swords where long swords (broad swords). Rarely were they curved, until the sabres came along.

Good question. If it is possible, and no one else will attack you, calling for help would probably weigh heavily in your favor. Depending on the injury, you may have an obligation to call them in, so keep that in mind. If there are others around, then most likely, police have already been contacted, so wait around until they get there to give them a statement.

Wish Me Luck

Very well done! It sounds like that was quite the work load! -
All good points. It took me around 2 years to get my black belt in TKD.

Dealing with a ?bully?
bushido_man96 replied to ShotokanKid's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
I would speak to the head instructor about this situation. This is going to cause trouble for more and more people in the dojo, if it is allowed to continue.
