What strength and conditioning exercises are used in tai chi? @DaveNewton I found this PDF that seems to mirror the stone lock, at least. ymaa.com/files/B1361-Hojo-sample.pdf I'm surprised that the Okinawans dropped or lost the practice of tossing them in favor of just doing stances and kata with them--it seems much less useful application of the tool. |

What exercises are safe (or not) for total beginners? I understand what you mean, in that the questions are similar and yours is first. However, I think both stand on their own and are not exact duplicates. The answers here focus more on the "what exercises should I avoid" and "what exercises require no knowledge", whereas the other one focuses on "what preparatory work should I do". I wouldn't be opposed if they were merged, however. Closing the other one would be misguided in my view. |

Tips for faster regeneration after training The term is "recovery" and it's an extremely broad topic in sports exercise. Could you be more specific with the type of fatigue or mode of training? |

What strength and conditioning exercises are used in tai chi? Could you excerpt (or would you mind if I excerpted) some of the relevant sections? We want to avoid losing info due to link rot. |

What strength and conditioning exercises are used in tai chi? @Wudang My impression, and I could be wrong, was that porous/multi-style CMA was more common historically compared to modern tai chi. |

Are martial arts helpful in dealing with pain from a sedentary lifestyle? In contrast, while I'm not terribly excited about the hernia question, at least that was a clear diagnosis, and you were sharing your personal experience with what the OP was asking about. In this question you're trying to diagnosis the OP's knee issues and you're already tossing out guesses as to the cause of the OP's shoulder trouble. You're saying it's probably bursitis when the sum total of your knowledge is 1. it's the shoulder and 2. some doctor said it was probably related to computer time. |

How likely is serious injury in martial arts practice? Concussions are a factor in judo, wrestling, boxing, and kickboxing, and there's a significant contingent in each of those sports that consider the activity to be spiritual training. That's part and parcel of hard-sparring arts. |

Are martial arts helpful in dealing with pain from a sedentary lifestyle? OP wrote "I am a research scholar and I have to dedicate a lot of time everyday in front of the computer. This leads to pain in my knees and shoulder. I consulted with doctors and they suggested me some elementary physical exercises.". From that you wrote "The pain in your shoulder is most likely caused by referred nerve pain or a localised tendonitis/bursitis (most likely your bicep tendon or a rotator cuff inflamation)." To me, that's an Internet Diagnosis that we should avoid. |

How likely is serious injury in martial arts practice? I'm just quibbling over the word "worthy". Plenty of quality schools don't have room for someone who wants to pick and choose which parts of practice they'll do. Still a good answer, still upvoted, but if someone's not a good fit for a martial arts school because they don't want to train martial arts, then I think calling the school unworthy is a little odd. |

How likely is serious injury in martial arts practice? I agree with most everything except the idea that someone can choose to sit out of fundamental activities like sparring. It's reasonable for some gyms to say, "train like we train or you can't train with us," and it's reasonable for that to involve sparring. |

What material should be covered in a rape-defense course? Thanks for your answer! I think it's important to remember, however, that the vast majority of rapes do not stem from women out jogging or returning home late at night and being ambushed. Most rapes are committed by someone the victim knows. (Thanks go to @DavidHClements for the link.) |

What is the best way to determine board-breaking ability? I agree with everything in this answer except the condescending attitude. :) It's hard to be nice, but worth the effort. |

How should a novice train if unable to join a dojo yet? @Nowhereman Maybe you could you add your own answer to describe what you mean? I'm not sure how improving one's clean and jerk decreases or interferes with mobility work. |
