Sibylla Posted May 21, 2003 Author Posted May 21, 2003 That's interesting...the Shotokan instructor seemed to have a bum knee so maybe he shares that way of thinking. I think that is OK as long as it doesn't go "to far"...for instance, if people have weak knees, they should try to do some strengthening exercises on their own, before they adjust their stances to much. When I started in martial arts, I could really feel my knees and had a medical, MRI-scan etc. There was no problem but I needed to do some exercises to get the right muscle balance/flexibility. After that I haven't felt a thing, but I still do my exercises.
