When you start up your workouts, the initial soreness will hang around longer than when you finally get acclimated to working out. So, even though you are still sore, you may still go ahead and workout. Just don't over work yourself.

We have a channel that will rerun older fights, and it also runs a yearly reality series called The Ultimate Fighter.

Not sure. Has it happened, or is it going to happen?

Sound great. Rocky is the ultimate success story. I think I will have to see it. Rocky V is my favorite so far.

I have called this iron chairs, or something to that effect. Good exercise.

Hydrostatic weighing is the most accurate, but you would have to find some high dollar facilities to do that. Go to a dietician or your doctor, and they should be able to do a skinfold test on you to tell you.

There are all kinds of Bruce Lee myths and legends out there. Look at the source when you see them.

Thanks! Now, I just need a speed ball to make it work! One of those crazy balls would be good, too.

That sounds like fun!

Never heard of him. Sorry.

See, that is a difference that we have. We don't do the push-ups and sit ups for our testings. There's no set number of push-up's/sit up's we have to do, we just have to do them if we make any mistakes....then redo the kata/technique we messed up. Incidentally, I passed my Shodan test two weeks ago. I can't remember the last time I was that tired. Congratulations!

Nice form.

Our GM has gotten uniforms for us that have our names in Korean on the lapel. He writes them himself, and then has them put on. I think he provides the company with the writing.

Lol, I would have to start over in another style again!!

I think our system has around 20, but I only know up to my rank, which is 13.

That should be fun to watch. I imagine he is working on his stand-up game some right now.

On my duty belt I have a hand-held stunner that puts out 500,000 volts (doesn't shoot; it is a contact device), cuffs, and pepperspray. I could carry an ASP, but I don't have one. I have to certify on everything as well, which is, pretty much, dumb. We have to zap ourselves with the stun gun. However, they issue LEOs guns, but they don't have to shoot themselves with them. Kind of silly. As for the order of usage, when it comes to dealing with inmates, our order is supposed to go zapper, then mace, then physical. Kind of strange, but that is the order I was told. Oh, yeah, we also have a big, clear, riot shield up there, too.

bingo. Contact with the ground is incidental. If we are fighting and you fall, oh well. It's drastically different from striking a person. I definitely agree with you guys about the numbers though - italways makes things easier. Yeah, especially since we aren't allowed to strike at all, except for maybe a shin-kick to the nerve on the outside of the leg (common peroneal?).

Once again, while choke holds are among the most effective techniques in the arsenal, they tend to be disallowed in the law enforcement arena. Actually, I think it may be one I can get away with, if I am attempting to restrain the inmate, and just happen to get him in that position. I may have to do some checking, though.

Training in general won't develop very much killer instinct, when it comes to getting involved on the street. You can drill and train all you want, in any style you want. However, developing the killer instinct is not just going to be a side effect of this training. In order to develop it, you have to create the adrenaline dump affect, and basically make yourself come out of your comfort zone. Competitions can help with this, and the more contact, the better off you will be. Naturally, some people are just meaner than others, and they find it out early on, fighting in school or something like that. I guess I should say that training can help you develop that killer instinct, but it has to be the right kind of training.

Good point. It is important to practice these scenarios with resistance as well.

I never got to see the fight, but I found out that Coleman got beat.

They are PrideFC fighters.

Chuck Norris has been heavily involved in starting up his new World Combat League. In the past, he was involved with his Kick Drugs Out of America Program, and probably still is. As far as seminars go, I am not sure.

I thought he was involved in some seminars, but he may be retired now.
