Have learned a bit of various martial arts (Judo, Shotokan and Shukokai Karate and Kuk Sool Won) but now mostly live vicariously through my kids who are 3rd and 5th kup Tae-Kwondo practitioners.
I'll never be competitive, but I enjoy martial arts for their discipline, fitness and self control.
I look after the Broxburn Tae-Kwondo website for Miss Redmond (IV degree) which includes some excellent pattern videos (not by me, I hasten to add - I just held the camera!)

What martial arts cultural remedies are there to avoid and relieve soreness? Astonishing what Eddie managed to do, considering he had never run a marathon before. I am in awe of that achievement. |

Why are firearms not part of the martial arts world? And for countries such as the UK - it isn't going to happen. We have to visit the US when we want to play with guns :-) |

Is Static Stretching Before Practice Beneficial, Harmful, or Something In-between? Anecdotally - every gym /dojo I have ever trained in works with light cardio first, then stretching before getting onto the serious business of training. |

Value in Practicing Spinning Kicks They do put a huge focus on that 'sine wave' body movement, yes. Very ITF specific, I think. That guy won patterns in Scotland and the UK for a number of years. |

Value in Practicing Spinning Kicks Awesome bout @BobCross - thanks for the link. Will have to show it to my kids. As an aside - did you see the pattern videos I popped up on our local TKD website? tkdbroxburn.co.uk/patterns.html (that isn't me in the videos, by the way :-) |
