I do it once a year for a couple of days. Seems to do the trick. Recommended to me by a doctor who worked with Olympic athletes years ago. Duane

I don't take the advil unless it's absolutely necessary, like it was this morning. Usually I'm a little sore the morning after a class, but a good warmup followed by some stretching usually does the trick for me. _________________________ Insert profound martial arts quotes or tough guy phrases here.

Ironfoot Professional Poster Registered: 06/10/04 Posts: 2682 Loc: St. Clair Shores, MI USA	A couple months ago I sparred for about 10 minutes with a brown belt in his late teens. He never laid a hand on me, but the next day I realized I hurt more than when I was young and LOST the damn fight. _________________________

choonbee Member Registered: 02/26/11 Posts: 195	Yeah...my soreness didn't come from being hit, but from throwing out lots of strikes and kicks. Sparring is an excellent workout, but it takes a lot out of you. _________________________ Insert profound martial arts quotes or tough guy phrases here.
