FWIW Master Takara showed me resistance training for sanchin strikes, circle blocks, and front kicks using a long and relatively thick elastic tube.

In an age when we're rushing headlong into national bankruptcy...

The placebo effect isn't sham. The palcebo effect is a documented change in the patient. If there was no change then they'd call it the placebo no effect.

All that conditioning does is to differentiate people who like to condition or are willing to do conditioning in order to achieve other training goals from those that don't or won't. However, given that conditioning is generally a more lengthy and less rewarding process for women, is difficult to ma...
