| Disgruntled, you're my hero. Granted, I'm easily impressed. Earlier today, the vacuum cleaner was my hero cuz it did the living room without choking on cat hair.
Don't get me wrong about the senior black belt helping me out tonight. He's a good guy and a decent teacher. No one at my dojo is anything less than encouraging. As I said, after he told me my flexibility was about done he pretty much let me know I would still be a terrific karateka.
What puzzled me was his carefree attitude about the whole thing. He's 39, with a minor injury that inhibits some of his movements. I considered it impolite to state my belief (based on moderate research and the fact that I'm an EMT) that my flexibility could be considerably improved.
Regardless, I'm very happy that you answered my call. I've ordered the book prominently featured in your stretching thread, "Stretching Scientifically." We'll see if that and some good, oldl-fashioned yoga can help me out.
Thanks again.
