I hurt my right knuckle really badly once and it took about a year to fully heal. I was really woried that it would be permanently purple and enlarged. Even after all the pain went away, it still...

Passata di Soto, that's the fella. I used to get quite few points off that. I used to drop so low that my fight knee was the highest thing off the floor with my right foot and left hand taking all...

This is true and the flick hit as such is a noble technique. It was the overly bendy swords that allowed any numpty with no hand finesse to be able to wrap the sword round and hit you on the back. ...

It is, in a manner of speaking but there's more to it than that.
Fencers only ever fight in a way that MAs would recognize as point sparring. There isn't really a concept of free fighting. I know...

I used to be captain of my Uni fencing team until I gave it up. Interesting you noted that flick hit. That's actually one of the primary reasons i gave it up. The prevelance of extreemly bendy foils...

Make sure you take care of this. Rest, stretch and strength both your shin and calf muscles.

Whatever you do, don't just stretch it a bit until the pain goes and then start running. Untreated...

I've read a couple of articles on this subject. Unfortunately I don't have any links to hand but from weight of oppinion it seems that the law generally stands like this in most countries.

If you...

But isn't it repeatedly exhausting your ATP and doing another set before your muscles have had time to replenish their ATP that causes your body to deposit more sarcoplasm. I came to this conclusion...

Cheers Ford. As always, that's very useful information.

Thanks for the encouragement. i shall carry on in my own sweet way for the time being then.

What's an assistance excercise? Is that an excercise designed to to strengthen a muscle needed for...

IIUC Exhausting your ATP supplies puts a strian on the 'energy system' for the muscle. One way in which your body adapts is to put more sarcoplasm in the muscle. Sarcoplasm is bulky and so the...

I've only been training these excercises for a comparitively short ammount of time and have only just really started puching it. I took my time to learn the movements and make sure the mechanics...

Reported in the Guardian last year, here in Britain was an investigation into how and why drunken violence happens. As you may know, Britain has archaic lcencing laws which means all pubs close at...

The trouble is, nobody knows what really happened. Nobody saw the whole thing and heard everything that was said, not even those who were there.

The question that courts would ask is. 'Did the...

No, you do adapt. The question is if the adatations lead to you using fewer or more calories. I suspect that there are so many factors to consider that it's not a simple linear relationship and...

Perhaps, if Chubs is unfit, he has smaller leg muscles that use fewer calories. Slim is therefore using more claories, not just when running but generally. Obviously, this wouldn't be much of a...

The Criterion Collection edition is the definitive edition of this great movie. I know that it has a Japanese language soundtrack and English subs which can be turned off if you speak Japanese. id...

Welles was in fact a fabian. Upper-class fore-runner to the labor movement. AKA Socialism or Solidarity. Not quite a Commy but leaning that way on.

The Morloks were the English working class....

Brad Appleton's guide to Stretching is a pretty good starting point. It's also knocking arround the web as a postscript and pdf file for printout.

The story I've read a couple of times is that your body is basically in a catabolic or anabolic macrostate. That means you're either putting on weight or taking it off.

So, if you're in calorie...

*TigerJaw raises hand*

Seriously, those boys are too rough for me. I went expecting to be taught how to root and sence my opponants movements without the use of strength. Instead I got bruise...

There are some benefits to having religion in a developing society. Take the pioneers for example. They had a number of particularly harsh christian sects which instilled discipline into the people...

If you hold on properly with your legs, you have to isometrically contract the muscles in your thighs. This is really good for flexibility apparrently.

That's my understanding of what Atkin's himself said and to be honest it sounds to me like eventually, you progress to a diet which is really quite good. In fact, not to disimmilar to the diet I eat...

I think many people feel the urge to use the bathroom well before their bladder is full. This is supposedly a symptom of chronic dehydration. I drink between 2 and 3 litres of water a day and can...
