if you want to get back in to CMA and are interested in mantis there is a great mantis teacher in Tampa...bit of a drive I know, but he usually does saturday classes. Tainan Mantis is his alias here and he mostly posts on the Mantis subforum.
and, as far as general physical conditioning: what those guys said.
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
"If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"
"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.
I could be completely wrong"
