I have been training for the last 20+ years in a Okinawan derived style called Bushin Ryu.
In that time I've also dabbled in some other arts and had the good fortune to train under some excellent people.

How do I improve landing on my center line after a back kick? @Thumbtack - practice on cement. You have better grip on cement than carpet. Landing wrong on concrete might hurt more, but use the pain as an aversion mechanism and avoid it. |

Can I practice any of the martial arts after a hernia surgery? @aditya - that is correct - don't stretch that area too soon (it is reasonably invasive surgery, my scar is 8" long), and take it gently when you do start. To be clear, scar tissue can be stretched, it just isn't elastic like normal tissue. I'm going to tweak my answer to make that clearer. |

How important is lineage when it comes to credibility or trustworthiness? Not to mention that just because someone can claim a lineage it doesn't mean that they have been taught everything in the art. Immediately verifiable teaching skills are arguably way more important than lineage. |

Demonstrations of Minimum Force +1. My Sensei has a saying: "Feeling is believing." You can explain a lock or technique as much as you like, but once they feel it they understand. Teach them up front that if force is being used they are doing it wrong. Otherwise you have to be constantly patrolling the dojo looking for those who are wrestling instead of locking. |

Is Static Stretching Before Practice Beneficial, Harmful, or Something In-between? My personal experience (under a Sensei with lots of sports science related qualifications) echoes the studies you mention. Your muscles have way less elasticity while cold so stretching then can be at best ineffective or at worst detrimental, a light to moderate warmup should be done first. |
