    I gotta say it's amusing to watch Karate people complain about basic conditioning. :p

    My most hated exercise is anything that involves running or jumping, purely because I have boobs :rolleyes:
    Boobs should either be removable, or an option at puberty :bang:

    So my next question: considering Peter's last response, with the knowing grin, is Peter actually a woman?!

    You heard it here first!

    :D :p :Angel:

    I suppose the same can apply to men with 'man boobs' too :cool:

    You are very lucky that swearing is not allowed on these forums. A little telepathy and you'll soon get the message. :woo: :woo: :woo:

    My smile is because I once received a similar comment from a woman student concerning pressups. I told her that she doesn't have to move as far as men! :D

    This exersise where you're sat on the floor with the blades of your
    feet on the floor, feet together and ankles drawn into the body.Sat
    in like a meditating position.Then force each leg to touch the floor at
    same time usually with the help of partner stood on each leg
    bouncing up and down. Can't remember the name. Painfull.

    Lol, see I don't think before I speak...I realised both of these reasons afterwards...but you'd have to have pretty massive boobs for them to get in the way whilst doing a full press up!

    Stout,
    The exercise you described above is a variation of what we call the butterfly. You can do it with or without someone standing on your legs. You can also balance on the blades of your feet & jump up to a fighting stance with a kiai. The bunny hops & duck walks have been proven to be more destructive than constructive. Medical science tells us that bending the knees further than you would to sit in a chair damages the ligaments. Pounding the makiwara has also been proven to cause arthritis. Iv'e been doing this for 36 yrs. I cut down on all 3.
    Thanks,
    Sensei Tom
