Did you study at Aikido of CNY? I studied there 20 years ago before a wrist injury sidelined me.

I took a few classes there but had to stop almost as soon as I started. The strain on my wrists was causing them to go numb, and my doctor thought tendonitis might result if I persisted.

Recently, while working through the techniques in Keith Pascal's Wristlocks text, I was reminded of this. After only a few hours of wrist lock techniques, my wrists became a little sore -- so I'm sure if I was doing that two or three times a week I would still have difficulty with such a pace.
