Nice article, Killer Miller.

Ok, I feel kind of cheated now. I usually don't have a spotter when I lift, so I was doing bench press on this Nautilis Leverage machine. You still load weight plates onto the sides, and it starts in the down position instead of the up position. Well, I have started to lift on a regular bench with a spotter, and I have noticed that I don't push up as much as I did on the other. What a bummer. And I thought I had hit my goal.

hehehehe...

Hey, that looks kind of cool. It looks kind of expensive, too!

It'll be like internet dodgeball or something!

Good luck!

It's to look good!

I think this is what would be great about it...you can see what the differences are, and why they are done that way. It is great researching material, and it could make one into a more complete fighter. I would love to be able to find a Tang Soo Do school to train at, and given half a chance, I would do it.

I personally do not agree with this at all. You shouldn't have to ask your sensei for permission to train elsewhere. You have a right to train with whomever you want whenever you want. You should inform him of your intention, but you shouldn't be required to have his blessing. Just my two cents. I agree with you, bearich. I have had my say on this in the past; however, no all instructors see it this way. I would be interested in seeing a nationwide poll on the subject.

She had great balance as well.

Be graceful as you accept the apologies....then see if it changes anything. Also, I would consider getting back into it, if you ever get time! It would be kind of fun in there.....!

Don't hurt me No worries! I am no Chuck Norris! (or am I??)

How much is that in US dollars? $32.01 Thanks.

I finished off round 3 of Thanksgiving meals with just the wife and kids this last Sunday. And now, the leftovers!! Cheers, all!

If you want to make chucks, I think you would be happier if you could use a bearing or a swivel hook, so the rotations are smoother.

Me neither!

No one will ever catch Patrick, not even if he stopped posting I am trying!!

Tornados are pretty common around the states in my area. We live in Tornado Alley.

I am sure you will be.

Bearich gave some great info. I have a little to add. Make sure you can break down your techniques very well. Also, make sure you can explain yourself well. By breaking the techniques down step by step, you will be able to better teach them. Everyone learns differently; some by sight, some by cause and effect, and some by explanation. Make sure you can demonstrate and explain a technique in several different ways. This will help you in the long run.

Looks good. Maybe I will have to start practicing that one!

I have not heard of them before. I will do some looking.

That's how I like to do it.

Reread my post. I never said that you hold your breath while running. I have said that breathing is important. What I was saying is that while you are running distance, you need to keep a constant breathing pattern, not a rapid breating pattern.

I agree with most of the replys here. Cross-training will always yield different points of view, and allow you to expand your knowledge.
