  1. That's me. No idea whatsoever.
  2. It is hard to walk away sometimes, especially when you give a guy a chance, and he just won't quit. Then, it seems like he just needs to be dropped, and lets face it....you only got two cheeks to turn!
  3. Do some cardio work like running or swimming. Try to find a partner to hold target mitts for you, and explain what you want them to do. Who knows, maybe you will end up training your next training partner in this fashion. Good luck in the competition.
  4. Very nice! And so very true. I love watching the commercial on TV, the latest in my area is Hydroxy-cut. "I lost 45 lbs on hydroxy-cut!" And what they don't tell you is that they scalped their diet, and exercised for AT LEAST 30 minutes a day aerobically. When I see pills and such to lose weight, I just scoff. I don't even mess with protien drinks or muscle building compounds, or anything like that. Not that I don't trust them, I just don't use them.
  5. I've never been a big workout to music guy. I don't mind it, but I can go without as well.
  6. Hey, I work nights, so get to check periodically.
  7. That's kind of cool! I remember when I was at ATA Instructor certification camp. On breakfast of the first day, Grandmaster H.U. Lee and Grandmaster Bong Soo Han (I think is his name?) of Hapkido sat at the table with me and a few others. THAT was cool. I was so quiet though, I could not think of much to say or ask. If I could go back, I would chew their ears off with questions.
  8. Well, as far as that goes, I can't wait until swords become an extension of my body.
  9. You are just going to have to rest it, buddy. You can still workout, but take it easy when you have to pivot, stretch, and what not. 270 spins, not such a good idea at this point. Every night, RICE it: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Don't worry. I have rolled both of my ankles about 3 times each, and have been in crutches and braces for a while. Crutches lasted about a day for me, and I wore an ankle air cast one time, and then another time a big 'ol boot made just for me ($300). I recovered within about 2 months, and I am fine now. It will be a little weak for a while, making it more suceptible (sp??) to re-injury for a time. Take it easy, and it will heal.
  10. If I was drinking something while reading that comment, you would've owed me a new keyboard. -Protagonist
  11. Technique + Speed = Power Power = 1/2 Mass x Velocity squared
  12. That's nice. I have tried it, but I can't keep my leg out very well, and I can't go down too low . Practice, I guess?
  13. Ok, guys and gals, got a good one for ya here. Start by kneeling on one knee, other leg out behind, like a lunge all the way to the floor. You stand up, do a front kick or axe kick or crescent kick with the leg that was back, then land forward and go to the other knee. Up and down the floor. Hurts like mad! Good stuff.
  14. If he has been training for 45 years, and is under 60 years old, that is raising some flags for me.
  15. Yep, I missed it. Sounds like I should keep missing it!
  16. Its all about what you want to focus on. Incidentally, I would love to see a purely MT stylist in the UFC.
  17. You are dedicated, I'll give you that!
  18. Quote: Do long arms adversly affect the bench press??? I have short arms, and I here people complain to me all the time that I bench well because I have short arms. So, I think, yes, long arms can be a detriment to bench. However, it is all in how hard you work it. I like to think I bench well because I am strong, not because I have short arms. Of course, they don't complain about my short arms when we spar!
  19. Stands for "death touch" I think.
  20. I agree with UseoForce on the resisting opponent applications. When I get into a tangle with an inmate (heaven forbid), I know that the static practice that I have done in the past will not help me much. Judo practitioners have the right idea. I would rather learn all of the safer techniques, and be able to practice full tilt at a low rank, and then learn to apply the harder, more dangerous stuff at a higher rank, with skilled partners. The training would improve 10 fold. This is very similar to high school/college wrestling. Very safe, and they are some of the best athletes in the world.
  21. Try googling jiu-jitsu tourneys. Google is great.
  22. I would guess that you could be a member of both bodies, and then you would be able to attain events for both. The only thing would be having rank in two styles, which might get icky.
  23. Didn't see the bio of the owner. That is a LOT of time in rank to attain those degrees. I mean a lot of time....lots.....really lots....like, he must have never had a full time job so he could go to 6 different schools a week to train lots. Does anyone know how old this guy is? His age might be a tip as to the legitimacy of his claims.
