Crash Buckle up! Registered: 08/17/04 Posts: 627 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Just swim dude, I personally don't swim much but I know that swimming (not just splashing around in the pool) is a very underated exercise, it takes alot of practice to develop proper form but it is one of the best ways to train cardio and some muscular endurance. _________________________ Even though you only have two arms you can still block with your forearms.

Besides, the argument is not: Training in water is not useful for MA I train in water I am bad at MA it is: Training in water is not useful for MA I train in water Training in water has no effect on my MA. You can still be good at MA if you play chess, but the two skills aren't directly related. _________________________ My Workout Log

tkd_high_green Veteran Registered: 05/16/05 Posts: 1031 Loc: Vermont	I would think that shallow water, would be good for practicing certain throws and other takedowns, without having to worry about "thumping" your partner. I have quite a few memories of my cousin "practicing" on me when we were kids. Laura

Cord Prolific Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 11399 Loc: Cambridge UK.	Quote: Fact #1: I train in the water. Fact #2: I am as effective as anyone. Fact 3: By your own admission, training in water has given you no discernable advantage over those you have met that do not do so. This means that if you enjoy it, your time has not been wasted, yet if you were looking purely to improve your performance, there are far more effective ways of spending your time. _________________________ Don't let the door hit ya' where the good lord split ya' http://cord.mybrute.com
