There's a principle in weight training called "specificity". Loosely, it's meant that you should mimic whatever sport you're doing to the best of your ability. So if the sport relies upon fast...

I've done kettleball drills with very good results. I blew out my back in the military, so I'm not able to do some of them. Nonetheless, I'd recommend them if you want to develop explosive...

Thanks, that looks like a lot of great DVDs for Judo. However, do they have English subtitles? The page says it's Japanese language, and I'm not there yet.

Greetings. I just started Judo a month ago. I found a great book on it by Draeger & Otaki called "Judo Formal Techniques". Are there any DVD sets that go into the same type of detail that this...

Counter-culture groups tend to be weird because, by definition, a counter-culture group IS weird. To be 'counter' is 'against' (hence, counterweight), and to be against the culture of everyone else...

I love Pantera and DamagePlan, (no big fan of "SuperJoint Ritual", the offshoot band by the lead singer of Pantera), and this is nuts. What I'm really scared of is that these things come in...

Quite a story. I thought it was bad when I was on Fort Bliss and the illegals would steal our trash to sell. Ft. Bliss makes big bucks by recycling, and lots of illegals work in various places on...

John McWhorter, (a young black man), wrote a book on this, and as a linguist, it's his specialty.

The problem extends to party-politics, and even to teachers. If you teach public education in a hick state, every so often a, (quite often), a redneck will come stomping in furious. You've just...

Did you know that during AIT training, we're not supposed to access non-military chatrooms? This training lasts for a year and ten weeks. Long time to go without e-budo. Sacrifices the young men...

Don't know, I've never studied the interment much, but the Americans intercepted a message from Japan to Japanese living in Hawaii to revolt against America and take over Hawaii. Apparently, they...

Well, I can only think of Paul Johnson's words that the study of history is the most sombering of all tasks, because we see too often how many of our stupid past mistakes repeat themselves over and...

That's not surprising, a link I showed in the first thread dealing with this issue talked about Japanese-Americans coming under violent assault by their own neighbors who were Oriental. If I had to...

(At the time), President Ronald Reagan himself apologized for the Japanese interment, and the House of Representatives and the Senate both passed legislation which officially apologized as well:

I've always thought you were a great guy Michael, I'm glad you found the one you truly love. Best wishes and congratulations!

John, I can't tell if you're taking pot-shots at me or if you are being honest in your inquiries. Anyway:

Original quote:...

Philosophy is integral to how you fight, or even if you fight. Someone taking on an extreme pneumocentric viewpoint will say that fighting is unnecessary, and not engage in combat. That's...

I've spent the better part of the past year boxing instead of grappling, so I'll have to go from memory.

Anytime I grappled against a brawler, I won. Plain and simple, brawlers have a limited...

Best chokes I've done used the hand and not the forearm at all. Typically though these were chokes from the side of the person and not behind. If you use the crook of your arm, they'll simply turn...

Depends on how long its been since I've been shopping, lol. If I have been shopping recently, mainly fruits and high fiber cereal. If I'm going running on that day, just fruits, at least until...

What??? You can't claim lineage to the same martial art that I study!!!!!

Everyone knows the true lineage of martial arts is traced back to snake worshipping civilizations who inherited it from...

The oldest civilization that I know of is in India, discovered by F.A. Khan, circa 3300-2800 BCE, which was pushed further back by Ahmad Hasan Dani, and Durrani. The furthest I've seen it traced...

Hi there. I'd wonder if you've ever done really vigorous stretching in your younger days. (I'm going to assume you're an older gentleman and not a young one.) Really hard stretching in your youth...

Primarily anti-oxidants. Every now and again when I need a boost, some Siberian Ginseng or caffeine pills. I take the anti-oxidants before a heavy workout, along with the Ginseng, and get to it!

Great link Kent! One of my favorites for working on my grip strength is by throwing a really strong towel over a pullup bar. Then, grab a fistful of the towel, and start doing pullups. You'll have...
