Krav Maga, is it 100% legal for defense? Ask a lawyer in the area where you live. IN general you can respond with equal amount of force in any given situation. That is general and there are exceptions. |

Value in Breaking Boards? Penn & Teller in their "Bullshit!" episode on Martial Arts covered board breaking a little bit, with Teller breaking some boards. I personally don't see value in board breaking. |

How do I choose a boxing glove? Competitions will often have requirements for gloves. For sparring and heavy bag I use 16oz gloves, personal preference. For choosing the size, try them on and see how they feel. Try different weight of gloves. |

Are any Martial Arts Reality Shows/Documentaries useful to watch? I would agree with Fight Science and Human Weapon. |

how to overcome “freeze”? Practice and keep things simple. If a person has a dozen ways (just picking a number at random) to grab your wrist and you have a specific technique for escaping from each one then yes, choking is very likely. Don't over think, do. |

Should political/religious discussions be allowed inside the training place? Yup, their school, their rules. My previous karate school it was not uncommon for political talk with the head instructor before class started. Also talked about poker playing too, |

Where can I go to order cheap grappling mat(s) for beginners? I'd have to check, but I remember when seeing them on sale the price was pretty reasonable. I'd have to check the prices. And yes, always good to verify that they meet your hardness/softness needs. The ones I've seen I've found "acceptable" for my uses, YMMV. |

What is the most effective way to stabilize a WaveMaster 2XL? For those of us that use our shins for round house type of kicks this would be a less desirable position. :) |

Proper diet for preparing for a tournament Eat real food, might go a little more carb heavy in the form of sweet potatoes and yams. Creatine Monohydrate can help with recovery. And get plenty of sleep. |

Should I train differently to spar guys who are bigger than me? Loren Christian has some books and videos on speed training, might want to look into those. You need to move in, make contact, and get out again. |

How does a non-grappler train to be ready to avoid grappling in a real-world situation? Something you might want to read: chirontraining.blogspot.com/2012/07/joy-of-cheating.html |

How does a non-grappler train to be ready to avoid grappling in a real-world situation? You don't need to knockout, stunning or severe pain can work too. If I stun someone for a second that sets up another chance for strikes, them getting stuck in an OODA loop, etc. In your case when you had your sublexed knee, was this a fight for your life or one with rules? Context does make a difference. |

What can one do to avoid entering a grappling situation? Don't be there :) Seriously though this is why I got involved with Tony Blauer and his SPEAR system. We actually practice techniques where someone is coming in to grab/tackle you and make sure you gain control of the situation. |
