Yes. There is a possibility for injury in any athletic endeavor whether it be recreational martial arts, soccer, flag football even... It comes with the territory.

I'd love to visit the center too and I don't mind the guy making money from his product. This is America after all. I just mind people trying to paint it like some noble undertaking. In ten years...

Good call! Let's make a post belittling people for belittling people! Yeah! That'll drive the point home. No wonder I rarely come back to this place.

Because there is millions of dollars on the line? Dunno, dude. Juicing and the potential side effects isn't worth it for recreational guys.

Been a really long time since I visitted this site. ...

Rogue, I'm doing pretty darn good actually. I hope all is well in your part of the world. That goes for all the old guys like Seven. Knife, IronFist, rubmybuddah (or whatever :-P ) , etc. Like I...

Been about a year or two since I posted here, but I lurk from time to time. I had to chime in when I saw the ruckus from Huang. He always struck me as a humorous chap because I remember when he...

Busy training for a marathon, imo.

It could very well be a symptom of over training.

Also, if it is muscular, you may want to try some muscle relaxers just to test your hypothesis. I was thrown from a car onto pavement when I was...

So the cofee beans aren't changed at all like carrots and eggs? The water where you boiled carrots and eggs isn't changed at all unlike coffee water, so you could drink it, and it'd be just like...

I like some of Chek's work and disagree with some as well. I wholeheartedly agree with bringing spirituality into exercise and also on the fact that many people are running a tenuous line between...

Heh. Looks like I've had the same opinion for a while. I'm a regular student of Yang's in Boston, so I know tons of people who talk like TC Bob. I still think they are deluded.

I always thought it looked like a good racket. He owns the land, and the "non-profit orginization" is renting it from him. He gets all the facilities and equipment built and paid for thanks to the...

Me neither. Always thought Shodokan looked cool. Aikido, Judo, Kendo, Karate, ... fun school. My wife lived in the area at one point, so I found it when looking for places to train near both of...

The Westside Template is really the anchor in my strength and conditioning routine. I vary my routine a lot, but ever since I worked a bit with Dave Tate about 6 or so years ago, the Westside...

Looked like 10 kilo bumpers to me.

I gave the Davies/Indo Board/Swiss Ball training paradigm a try for a bit when I was experimenting with different modalities. The Indo Board is far easier than...

It's a wonder you're still alive.

There is experimental evidence to back this up as well, and it was even touched upon recently in a thread here. One of the major drawbacks seen from isometric exercise, even that which consisted of...

I actually left that open, so you could step in that pile yourself. #5 is in reference to possibly switching to isometrics during a period of "crucial competitions" in order to attempt maintain...

Of course you back yourself in a corner. This brings us back to the fact that isometrics only cause strength gains in very precise joint angles. (ie the angle of flexion plus 15 degrees MAXIMUM) ...

Actually that is one of the misquotes of which I spoke. The actual quote is "The training is very productive, if the time expended is considered. Each 6-second isometric contraction in its effect...

Actually, it's Pavel and John Peterson against Mel Siff, Yuri Verkoshansky, Michael Yessis, and Vladamir Zatsiorsky.

I'd go with the latter group. Seeing as how Pavel did ZERO research himself...

Andy,

Emperical evidence means little. If you want to call something "evidence", then please post the scientific study it came from where all variables were controlled or monitored. As mentioned...

Of course I never said this. Dynamic resistance training is a more efficeint way to train for a myriad of attributes beneficial to martial artists and all athletes in general... now that is what I...

Nice troll.

Oh, and you can find a similar opinion in Zatsiorsky's Science and Practice of Strength training.

I supposed you will now insist that Soviet, communist conditioning research was tainted by the...
