And I second Rob. Find a good dojo. Remember someone who goes looking for a fight will never be as prepared as someone ready for them. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.
qualters Posts: 343 Joined: 2002/04/21	2002/06/01, 04:41 PM Good advice. Lifting might be ok at the age of 13, but I just wouldnt advise it. Maybe its because at that age I was just into running everywhere I went, literally, I loved to run. Does that make any sense?...i dont think it did. ohh well, its just using weights seemed too advanced for me, push ups were good enough. By the way.....whos ya DADDY lumina???.....LOL BQ -------------- AMERICAN MADE
