I thought about getting silver ones and looking at having them anodized or powder coated green. Another option would be to wrap them with the...
I'm looking for the lightweight aluminum nunchaku (the ones with a chain and plastic inserts that whistle at high speed - see the picture at the...
Right now, for TKD I use soft arm protectors that go over the fingers (like a split mitten). I'm thinking gloves would protect my hand better, so...
Thanks! I can take constructive criticism. I noticed I don't rotate my hip enough during sparring - the foot pivot is probably a big contributor...
I also had a larger and more experienced opponent. I was the only entrant in men's over 46 advanced. When they told me, I asked if they could...
My son and I entered our first tournament last weekend (May 18) We both did well (IMHO). Our goal was to go, compete, enjoy and learn. He...

I view Easter as far more important. I also celebrate it with a more reverent attitude (hard to explain what I mean). I am less likely to miss...
Just go to any department store... you will see him... He's the guy with that look on his face. It's sort of a blank look, but also like a deer in...
My family used to do that a lot - we all understood that a gift doesn't have to be new to be appreciated. Some people would be offended, which is...
That's a good point, and makes me think I should examine cynicism in the rest of life more carefully. I wish we could do Christmas without the...
