@Jaine: Thanks for the support! BTW, I still have your hat and sun glasses that I really need to send to you. Can you send me your address to mark@wushuzilla.com? @mhough: word

Great Blog, thanks for sharing and feet us :-)

@Thomas: you are welcome! Enjoy the "meal". ;-)

@flagday: and to you and yours as well! thanks. @seeker: I don't know. I've seen those rhythmic gymnastics girls stretching and their flexibility is beyond ridiculous. It makes wushu athletes look retty stiff. And don't even get me started on Chinese acrobats. I suppose it is all relative. You can always be pushed a little bit farther than you can go, which is painful to some degree. I think of it as more of a mental exercise anyway -- at least beyond the physical aspects of stretching.
