Hong Kong

No, I didn't mean I went to Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Karate-ka came for training today. With 6 black belts around, Sensei's training was a bit more advance today. The movement are generally more complicated.

According to the Hong Kong people, the newer generation, when they do squat, the knee never bend more than 90 degree because it will hurt their knees, according to someone (some research??). However, the training with bending the knee for more than 90 degree is in a way better. Comparatively, we who trained with the old style, are able to pick our leg up higher, pulling our leg back still at the higher level comparing to those who don't bend more than 90 degree. But the trade off is when we get old, we might (not definitely, but just might) have knee problem.

How accurate is the information? I have not the slightest idea.
Perhaps will just take some supplement and pray hard that it will nullify the damage (if there is any) to the knee.

Today's 一言: Supper after training taste GREAT!
