what do you guys advise for overtraining??
what are the syptoms is stress one of them??
The only real recovery from overtraining is to back off a bit. IF you continuer to over train, you will harm your body. Certain types of stress can in fact be induced from overtraining. When the body is not in good condition, it throws your bodily systems off, thereby producing imbalance chemical reactions in the body that manifest as stress.

I'm not going to be on as much here in the next month or so. I'll still check in from work & such but just not post as much. The class night has changed plus since it's getting nicer outside we're going to start biking at night now, well pretty much every day.

what would you rate it as a martial art?

Terry,

Please refrain from art bashing. This issue has ben discussed previously, and it has ended with warnings or suspensions of the people involved.

This is Martial Talk - Friendly discussion is what we are looking for here.

Thank You

If I may, I'd like to elaborate on this because I can guess where it may end up shortly.

Terry, no one's accusing you of bashing TKD. But your question is the type which, in the past, has led to incredibly nasty arguments on discussion boards all across the internet. And, often, it opens the door for other people to bash a system. Then the system's proponents hop on board to defend their system. And it usually devolves very rapidly into petty bickering and name calling which is, as Rich points out, not what this board is about.

I will try and answer this with viloating Rich's sensibilities. While is well known that I am a kenpoist, I also spent many years doing TKD. I had some wonderfull instructors that taught well and had usefull information to pass on, I had others that weren't worth what they paid for their dobok. So the answer to your question is this, TKD if taught properly, is a wonderful and beautiful art with loads of practical application. It can also be a very exciting sport. It depends on what you are looking for and the calibre of instructors available. Then again, this can be true of most any art, no?

This thread belongs to Billy Lear and myself, anyone turns our thread into a bashing thread is going to find themselves bashed, literally.

I apologize to you guys - I did not mean to come off as saying anyone was bashing or attacking TKD. I was just trying to head off any negative issues and or discussions. Please no one take the impact of my comments, only the intent, that I wanted a nice a friendly discussion.

I know that, I just couldn't resist poking you with the pointed stick you just handed me.
