May 1	comment	Should I train differently to spar guys who are bigger than me? @Jason In many TKD competitions, they barely allow punching. I'm pretty sure that elbows, knees, grabbing, throws, and sweeps are all verboten.

Apr 30	comment	Should I avoid open-handed blocks in sparring? Clarification: is this about open-handed blocks or open-handed techniques? The latter includes a whole host of unrelated stuff like palm strikes, eye pokes, and grabbing, whereas the former is just about parries and blocks. Very different questions IMO.
Apr 27	comment	How do I improve my attack speed? I think we're using different definitions of "power". When I say "power" I mean "strength applied rapidly", and training power means increasing the speed at which you can move. I think that when you say "power" you mean "hitting hard" or "imparting force to the target". Is my understanding accurate?

Apr 27	comment	How dangerous is it to choke someone unconscious or to be choked unconscious? Just to be clear, you're saying that A) it takes 30 minutes to hang someone to death with a noose, B) it takes 7 minutes to choke someone to death, and C) you learned this in some sort of finance class or job?
Apr 27	comment	How do I improve my attack speed? @BerinLoritsch For hand speed, perhaps push presses and clap push-ups? Maybe ball slams too? I haven't tried these seriously.
Apr 27	comment	How do I improve my attack speed? +1 for clapping pushups and reaction training/body reading. Similar answer here.
Apr 27	comment	How dangerous is it to choke someone unconscious or to be choked unconscious? Do you have any sources for these numbers? I don't necessarily disagree with any of them, I just wonder where you got them.
