'Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone' (Baz Luhrmann)

This practitioner's  YouTube Channel is very good. He shows strong Qi Gong advice that is tied to theory. He shows where pressure points are in some of his moves.

Here he offers knee advice.

Knees are always a source of pain at some time or other. Something to do with evolution and the modern life, I have been led to believe. The knee is not a well designed joint.

My point is we need to be taught self-healing. That should be in the school syllabus and I feel coaches should be taught this  to move beyond warm up and cool down exercise to push themselves and those they teach to the next level.

Baz Luhrmann's song / poem 'Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen)' is behind the title of this blog entry. I advise you listen to that periodically, as it is so wise!

Cool Wing Chun dummy

This looks good. I used to think the Wooden Dummy was derived from a stool or table turned on its side to face the practitioner. Here he uses a stool as the body. (Wonder what the 'jar' is in the body and how hardy that is)?
