Just because you couldn't make it work, doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work at all. *I know this is an old post Matt, but I was bored. _________________________ There are no PERFECT techniques, only perfect execution for the situation at hand. ~Corwin

Testing should be thorough before making a decision about whether something is useful or not. I've run across both ends ends of the spectrum - things I thought would work that didn't, and things that I thought would NOT work that did. You have to try, to be able to find out! _________________________ "In case you ever wondered what it's like to be knocked out, it's like waking up from a nightmare only to discover it wasn't a dream." -Forrest Griffin

"If you break your partner you have noone to train with." That's why I started practicing MA with Iaido. Once you have learned the moves, no partner is necessary. Just a room with a high ceiling and a hard wood floor. Come to think of it, those are tough to come by, also.

trevek Professional Poster Registered: 05/15/05 Posts: 3331 Loc: Poland	Number one rule: Turning up for training with the blood of the last class is NOT cool... it's disgusting, as it means you probably still have the sweat from the last class too. _________________________ See how well I block your punches with my jaw!!

Blood doesn't wash off very well from white surfaces.. You do know that right? But that aside it is indeed prudent to wash whatever training wear you use.
