Jul 5	revised	Why do taekwondoists bounce so much? (And how do we help them stop?) edited title
Jul 5	comment	How can you practice wrist locks/grappling holds without a partner? Nice one for the wrist stretches :) I joined in a few hapkido classes once and the instructor did exactly these exercises and stressed they were the same as the wrist locks. It's a lesson that has stuck with me and I've made those wrist stretches past of my routine warm up.

Jun 21	comment	What martial arts cultural remedies are there to avoid and relieve soreness? @Trevoke if it's so you can keep training now, I'd forget about "traditional" tecniques. A nurse I train with swears by pain killers, and anti-inflamatories :) You can even use the proactivley before training.
Jun 18	comment	What martial arts cultural remedies are there to avoid and relieve soreness? Fair enough Trevoke. But I think my answer still stands. As my old instructor used to say "the only way to get good at something is to do more of it". Which is to say: keep doing those stretches until it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm not saying this is the best way to train. I'm just saying it's the traditional martial arts (macho) way.

Jun 13	comment	Will engraving a staff made of white waxwood compromise its integrity? When I make my own weapons from wood, I don't don't treat them with anything, and have not had any trouble, although I did just lose my wooden knife after 10 years with it. But I don't think the wood worms took it ;) I recently bought a "white oak" bokken and when I did do some carving on it, discovered that the "white" was just a white lacqure painted over what looked like common American oak :(
Jun 8	comment	Will engraving a staff made of white waxwood compromise its integrity? I've never experienced wood worms in weapons. Perhaps this is something particular to where you live? Some insects might be more previlant in some areas than others. Given that this isn't a concern where I live (Australia), I prefer not to oil practice weapons.

May 17	comment	history of Jujitsu? Good point. Seems I need to rethink my question a bit :) But I suspect the answer to "why isn't there a definative history?" is that each school tends to tell their own biased version. They are all true enough in their own right, but I've found that big picture objectivity is a rare thing.
May 15	comment	How does Bartitsu's “foot hook with a cane” technique work? I'll confess I didn't watch the video. I was just going from the pictures.
