hey, when you don't have a heavy bag or dummy or training partner, you get pretty creative when it comes to training. My Silat teacher used to train chops, elbows, sepu, & besets on a Eucalyptus tree, since the bark has natural antiseptic oils in it.

Congrats managing to post five times in seven months. You are truly interwebz savvy.

A few hints (considering the last post prior to yours was in 2007):
(1) You posted on a thread long dead. Seriously dead. Dead like Fried Chicken, Elvis, and 8 Tracks. Don't do that.
(2) You can violate the above rule, if your post adds something new and informative... but it didn't add anything except bad grammar. We have enough of that already.

So just like you check the expiration date on milk before you drink, check the f***ing last post date. Thankyouverymuchyourhelpisappreciated.

You might argue that I could have just ignored this stupid, pointless post - but griping about it at least make me smile. So thanks.

Incidentally, I didn't think necro'ing was worth reporting. But fair enough, message received.

It's not as big a deal as on some other forums. And neither is general computer savy. We like grammar and manners but it is a specialist website, so we also have to be somewhat patient with a non technorati audience.

I use thai oil and Absorbine veterinary liniment gel (the Absorbine works well as a Jow replacement too).

First off, I lurked here for a long time before posting, because everyone here plays a little rough - which should be OK, considering what we all do in our spare time (let people punch us in the face/throw us across the mat/choke us out). If you and I were sitting in a bar, and you did something comparable, I would have retorted in the exact same manner. No offense is attended, good natured ribbing. Hell, I'd probably buy you a beer. Its just **** talking.

And as for your grammar, I don't really give a **** about it, so long as what you say is interesting. If its new and interesting, that's awesome. Everything else (grammar, manners, etc...) is secondary. If you are providing me with knowledge I don't have, that is cool.

Incidentally, you're still not checking post dates ;-) Well, now I'd owe you two beers then, eh?
