Remove pads before icing

I know it seems like a simple step, but if you take a hard blow to the elbow and need to ice your elbow...remove your arm pad before icing your elbow.

Someone at my dojang made this mistake yesterday. I don't want to name names.

You put your groin guard over your gloves? Wow, TKD really does do things differently.

And always take off your shoes before putting your socks on.

Unless it's, you know, a sock puppet thing.

Well, unless you're starting a new comedy show.

I'm so glad I wasn't holding my last glass of Islay Scotch when I read that, Tony. That laugh qualifies as HIIT.
