Contrary to my static strength, my cardio improves extremely fast, so watch out, I'm right behind ya... 
used to run ~1 hour of medium speed before my knee messed up.

Luckily, I suck at cardio.
Good thing my anaerobics are a tad better. Underwater rugby ftw!

The price I pay is that I'm really sluggish at strength building. I'm definitively a marathon guy, not a sprinter.

I'm more the sprinter kind of - guy, so I'm the opposite... I am not a bodybuilder really, but still I put on loads of muscle in no time guess I've got amazing genes or something.

Well your body can be either good in strength developing, or endurance developing  Mine is totally endurance-oriented

An intriguing video on qi gong. I do believe that those feats are very much possible but man it can take a while to get there. Some parts of their training cracked me up 
Especially using their heads as a ram or hanging themselves lol.
I just returned from my 3rd kyu exams. Words cannot express how intense it was - the heat that is. We started at 7 in the afternoon when the sun was still up and burning, though I had been there an hour already for some last moment preparation. The first sign that you have made progress in the ranks is when it starts to take ages till it's your turn Had some uke time where my nage, feeling insecure about her techniques started slamming me down or forgot to let go after throwing. Don't know how much time passed there or when my turn was up, looking back it feels like a blur. My mental processes had almost shut down, my usual smooth style replaced by something instinctive, raw. Probably not a bad thing since the attacks were coming fast though after the first control I got stuck a few times. Still, reaction and movement was alright as was the weapon sparring. When I sat down I was HOT. Every inch of my body burned, my energy was drained and my gi felt a burden. The others seemed to like my performance but even when sensei said I passed I wasn't enthusiastic. I knew I could have performed much better but I suppose it's understandable given this level of heat. Surprisingly my vitality returned soon after, it felt grand.
I accept your congratulations for surviving

Heh, congrats. Still can't believe how fast you guys graduate ^^
Just came back from training myself... noticed a huge red spot on the back of my gi haha... I didn't know it was possible to bleed through the gi... I thought Judogi material was too thick for that 
Ahh... some guy had to prove something... he couldn't get the upper hand against me and at the end he was apparently so agitated about it that he forgot to bow haha... ahh... was worth it. Being too proud ain't good...

Congrats, young Padawan
But seriously, in the heat you guys have it's a great accomplishment managing to succeed in a task like that.
And Adrius, how come you actually started to bleed?

Hehe, pride comes before the fall I always avoid forcing myself if a technique doesn't come off as it should, there are other ways, more interesting, more civil and ultimately more effective. But frankly if someone has my head down and my arm extended behind my back and still feels he has to force throw me from said arm, for f's sake. Now if he keeps doing it long after I have warned against it I will get pissed. Leave that crap out of the dojo pls.
Thanks edn. Yes, yes it is.

@Edn: Ehh... Gi-cuts I imagine... when grappling the skin sometimes gets caught up with the cloth, and is easily torn from all the force.
Happens all the time really... though most often it's the fingertips that get most punishment. Really annoying when your opponent breaks your grip and ya fingers start bleeding... gotta stop and bandage up for the slightest wound since otherwise you'll end up turning every white gi in the Dojo into a Khorne-tribute ^^

How is that a bad thing
Hmm, I'm glad we don't get those kinds of wounds. Then again in the face of joint injuries what am I even talking about I also hate slide burns.

That's why you should wear black gi's!
Understand the frustration about it though

Your feet become immune to slideburns after a few years, or at least you stop feeling the pain ^^
Stepping into the shower after training usually reminds you of all the tiny burns anyway though haha... goes from feeling nothing to burning all over

Try turning the shower on the coldest temperature possible. Believe me, it'll help after a rough workout.
It will ruin your reputation though

I think we get hurt a bit more than Judokas from other dojos though... our dojo is kinda notorious for having a very power-based style and being very competitive too.
Funny when we send judokas to other dojos to train...
"HAJIME!"
"WRRAAAGH!" *sends opponent into floor with biggest throw he can think of"
Sensei: "Oh look another one..."
"Wraaagh?"
We do have nice techniques, though they are very power-based and ehh... maybe not so elegant all the time
We like to gerilla-attack other dojos and train for a few hours and then disappear with their elegant techniques...

Ah just came back from training... me and a pal found a way to improve my Gadavlia throw... amazing how everything just began to work perfectly with the addition of a simple feint.
Gonna practice the **** out of this one until it's reliable. The technique feels so awesome when I nail it
