I'm not a Uechi Dan, but I do understand that the healing arts were considered important to some martial artists of old.

If Jessica Alba sat on a stool reading the phone book for two hours, recorded on hi-8 video, that would be fine with me, I'm thinking 100 million already. Add a bikini and some dialogue, and some cheap pryo? Instant 1.5 mil. You could hire a caster, and a script writer and MAYBE a director, but real...

I always wondered why the rear elbow strike required the palm to be facing down. When no one could explain it to me I set out on an anatomical quest. Here is what I discovered: When your palm is face up, your bicep is engaged, and works against your tricep, which is driving your elbow back. You can ...

onward, the transplanted thread! I like to do Sanchin stepping with a partner resisting me using a fist on my chest, abdomen, shoulders, sternum, and even forehead (that's a tough one!)
