the beast

Well said

I have seen this one but unfortunately can't remember much about it. I seem to remember it having pretty good action scenes, but of course I enjoy most M.A movies.

Congrats !!!

I am5'9" and regularly spar with a guy who is 6'4" and I found what works best for me is to close the distance and utilize dirty boxing in close.

Welcome aboard Tony!

I also recommend this book .

We also have children, and some adults whose Kiai's are little more than a whisper, it's almost like they don't have( for lack of a better term ) the fighting spirit, or it seems like they are just not into it.

Actually according to Runners World, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome ( shin splints are caused by rolling your feet excessively inward ( over pronating). To prevent this they say to wear motion-control shoes, and strengthening your calves by holding dumbells while doing toe raises. They also say if you have daily shinsplints for over a month, to see a doctor for a bone scan, because you may have a stress fracture.

Shin splints are caused by taking short strides and running more on your toes . So to avoid them, try lengthening out your stride and running heel to toe.

I have noticed that on most gear the logo generally outlasts the gear. It would probably be easier to cover the logo up than try removing it .

Congratulations, Kuma !

Congrats Kez, way to persevere .

welcome aboard !
