Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Ray, great post. Another alternative (again, coming from Crossfit) is 15 squats (no bar, just bodyweight) 10 pushups 5 pullups As many sets as you can manage in 20 minutes. A high level of fitness is doing each set "on the minute". An extremely high level of fitness is being able to continue doing each set on the minute for the full 20 minutes. I'm not there, yet... It is the most profound, diabolical, high value metabolic exer-killer that I have ever encountered. 3 bodyweight exercises. Fiendishly clever in its simplicity. Keep your dog close by to chase off carrion birds when you're done. BTW, Tabatas rock. An incredible 4 minute workout. You think 4 minutes of squats with no weight can't kick your tail? Think again. You can tabata any exercise, but full body/complex movement exercises are better. Isolation exercises (like curls) tend to exhaust your muscles before you get the full metabolic benefits of the interval training.

The officer who zapped the girl was disciplined (i.e.: was not "in full accordance with departmental SOP", even though she was allegedly drunk and running into traffic). And an SEC inquiry, which doesn't specify anything beyond "safety claims". I would agree that over-reliance on a Taser is a bad thing, but I submit that a rush to judgement over them is even worse. Frankly, if life and limb is at risk, common sense (and Common Law) dictate that deadly force is justified. To argue against an alternative to that deadly force, because it might hurt or kill someone, is just plain silly. Now let's talk about sticks and knives.....

Some pointers on the squats: Position your feet such that your knees "track" directly above, and in line with them. A slightly open stance, around shoulder width, is what you're looking for. Looking at the top edge of the wall ahead of you, arch your back, and stick your butt out a bit. Do not round the back or look downwards. You can also put your hands behind your head (elbows up), but don't pull on your neck. Wear shoes with arch supports, unless you are one of those with perfect feet. Think about pushing your feet through the floor, instead of standing up. I don't know why this works, but it does.

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I like this combo even better. Push-ups can cause muscle imbalances in the shoulder. WoodyTX.
