Another good way to improve your balance are <a href="http://www.whatisrightforme.com/treadmill/ProForm-Power-995c-21.php" rel="nofollow">power treadmill</a> runs. Switching speeds and inclines throughout the workout will keep your balance adapt to the changes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207690385508451259.post-69506403322344656252011-01-18T09:53:37.032-08:002011-01-18T09:53:37.032-08:00Hi Charles, well yes for a 180 degree turn looking...Hi Charles, well yes for a 180 degree turn looking first is probably the best thing to do (thanks for correcting me on this) but for a 360 degree turn, unless you're an owl it's not possible to turn the head all the way around first is it? I'm thinking if you are doing the turn very quickly, for example when executing a spinning hook kick in a sparring situation for instance. How would you do this without feeling dizzy?Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008609198511182782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207690385508451259.post-67156058657190312552011-01-18T08:12:14.206-08:002011-01-18T08:12:14.206-08:00Hi, SueC: You said, " When executing a turn o...Hi, SueC: You said, " When executing a turn of 180 degrees or more keep looking forward until the last second as your body turns. Then quickly whip your head around. This minimizes the swirling of fluid in the semi-circular canals in the inner ear (vestibular system) and stops you from feeling dizzy."<br /><br />Is this backwards, i.e. shouldn't you turn your head first then move the body?Charles Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812618556413423872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207690385508451259.post-88126212279796942622011-01-15T10:22:38.688-08:002011-01-15T10:22:38.688-08:00Hi T, I've just watched the video, he's a ...Hi T, I've just watched the video, he's a very impressive guy. I like the way he shows you how to diagnose what the problem is with your side kick and then give exercises to correct it. I'll have to give it a go. In one of Dave Lowry's books he says that you can tell the skill of a karateka by the quality of his side kick, implying that the side kick is a difficult kick to master - I would have to agree with that!Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008609198511182782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207690385508451259.post-52242360796565992422011-01-14T20:00:10.370-08:002011-01-14T20:00:10.370-08:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG1v6pPt-4w
