As the muscle fibers are worked this - -way, they become tough/tight. Ever eaten veal? Mr. Burrese's next sentence began w/"NO!", so I will assume that he believes weight training does not decrease flexibility. A good example of this would be the body builder Flex Wheeler: he can do full leg splits! I also believe that some people are able to achieve higher levels of flexibility, and the rest will "plateau" at some level of flexibility. A good understanding of your limits will allow you to work around these limitations and concentrate more powerful techniques with in your working range. ------------------------------ From: DrgnSlyr5@aol.com Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 12:14:07 EST Subject: the_dojang: Re: Wash DC referral Anyone have a reference for Hapkido in the Arlington, VA or Wash DC area?

First, weight training will actually increase, not decrease, your flexibility if you lift through the entire range of motion for each lift. Second, lifting through the entire range of motion will actually help to maintain joint stability at higher levels of flexibility. But their is also the opposite side of the coin. Lifting through partial range can actually cause a loss of flexibility if not accompanied by an adequate amount of stretching. Partial range are often done so the weight can be increased because the required contribution of the stabilizing muscles is minimized, and therefore strengthening of the stabilizing muscles is minimized also. Partial range is a very common technique in bodybuilding but is not always appropriate in other cases, such as most functional strength training. Just my two cents.

I will still teach traditional Tang Soo Do but wish to distinquish my own personal style of TSD from traditional TSD. This type of thing has been done in China and Okinawa for sometime although you do not see it very often anymore. Dear David, Great to have another Tang Soo Do player on the list!

Well, the lifting vs. flexibility question has already been well answered, but I thought I would throw in a comment that I heard at the gym last week that might explain how ideas like this start. Two large fellows were switching off doing bicep curls. One of them began to stretch out his arms a little, to which the other one exclaimed "Hey, don't stretch out, you'll lose your pump." He then explains to his friend how stretching makes your muscles look smaller. Two guys well on their way to gaining huge muscles and losing the ability to tie their shoes. On a slightly different note, their was the group of women working out near me a few months ago. They were comparing workouts, trying to find something that would give good "tone" without resulting in those "icky muscles". Gyms are scary places. - ---------------------------- "Reading maketh an evil man" Garrison ------------------------------ From: Bernard G Redfield Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 16:17:41 -0500 Subject: the_dojang: Re: Police brutalizing overstepping thier bounds I agree with Jack 100% If you do as you are told, show proper respect, ie, yes sir, no sir, and don't act like an idiot, there is no problem at all, if you resist, act the fool, mouth off, posture, then I think you deserve to be subdued with extreme prejudice. the only people who have problems with this are the idiots who shoot of the old mouth and then cry when they get thumped. oooohhh oooohhhh ,I'm calling a lawyer, I'm calling the ACLU ------------------------------ From: "Burdick, Dakin Robert" Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 16:21:22 -0500 Subject: the_dojang: Martial Arts Panel this weekend, Lexington, KY Hi Folks, Ok, there's a martial arts panel at the Central States Anthropological Society meeting in Lexington Kentucky this Saturday.

I haven't examined the physics, but id bet its more than 50% of your body weight. hmmmm i think if u got three bathroom scales.. put your feet on one.. and your hands on the other two, and take a "down" push up position. you could get a pretty good idea of how much weight your lifting. its interesting how pushups are a form of weight lifting.. and soo much emphasis is put on doing them in martial arts.. but some other major muscle groups don't get the same level of attention in class. I'm rambling so ill stop Bill Evans (ps had to try it..I put both hands on the same scale and did a few pushups. lol much more than 50%) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 16:42:33 PST Subject: the_dojang: . ------------------------------ End of The_Dojang-Digest V8 #199 ******************************** It's a great day for Taekwondo!
