Chyisan, Is it just your legs you are concerned about?

.

Yes that was it in a nutshell.

Someone brought up Chinese food combinations on the dizziness thread. Anyone want to tell us what they know about this - are there some simple rules to follow and does it relate to general health or...

What would you do to someone you didn't like !

Using "intent" in this context just confuses the issue. In chi sao if I apply forward pressure I INTEND to do so, and if I do not that is because I DO NOT INTEND to do so.

To say you are not...

It censores the word d a m n!!! How pathetic.

I was going to say this too - the last section of Biu Jee is more like a Sprawl than a lot of other things I've seen it said that it refers to.

**** grapplers stealing our moves !

What are the pros and cons of squats and dead lifts. I build my programme around bench press and squats (plus pull/chin ups), because our gym does not have a deadlift area (am I right in thinking...

I might agree with you on the weapon forms but I think the dummy is useful to know (if you have a dummy) earlier on. I am not proficient on the dummy myself (I know a little) and at least in part...

Some really good news first. There was a guy on TV last night Professor Steve Jones - who said that there is an easy way which, statistically at least, will increase a mans life expectancy by 5...

I agree about the gap between the fit and the unfit, the healthy and the unhealthy growing wider.

Your call but I am a bit worried that you are eating so much fat - the cheese, meat and milk might be overdoing it a bit. Also as you already weigh quite a bit so I would not worry about how...

Thought you might be interested in a pic of my class at a recent seminar - anyone else got any class pics?

I read that the reason some people don't respond to creatine is that their bodies are already very efficient at doing whatever creatine helps us do. I read this in either a running or cycling mag...

The magazine or the sales girls ?

Slight change of subject but still dietary. Does anyone know much about carb loading/preparing for an endurance event. I have a half marathon coming up a week on Sunday - hoping to do it as close...

Realistically I think you would have to look at making this a bi-monthly or quarterly publication - I can't see the demand for a monthly - maybe that would cause distribution problems though.

THe...

No we can't. What some of us class as chi sao others call sparring - this has come up on other threads.

For those that are against sparring can you tell me why - what is inherent in your...

It was the arms that put me off it - I thought the consensus was that they should be closer to parallel than that ?

As far as running goes if you fancy it but find you get niggling injuries I would recommend going to a proper running shop and getting proper running shoes. The important bit is getting them from a...

How seriously do you want to take it?

If all you want is endurance then there is nothing wrong with going a steady pace for a long time. If that is what you are after then you can forget the...

You can get specialist shoes for athletic events which might be good. Try www.bournesports.com

I've noticed a lot of instructors go for the cheap and unfashionable hitec squash. Personally I...

Good question inic.

I would divide hand speed into reaction time and how fast the hand moves. The former is probably more important than the latter.

I think the best thing for improving...

Ok then can I ask a couple of questions.

Who are these authorities that say weight training is bad for advancing in tai chi?
What is their reasoning?

My point is simply that some of the stuff...
