As my job and as your friend, I can't let you go without telling you what I've learned in college. Sure, not all people are alike, but the chances that you'll reach old age miserably when doing this are high. I re- read my monographys about this yesterday. In martial arts, there's no bone you're not exposed to break and no joint you're not exposed to sprain. And I especially read the part about lumbago, that comes from delivering high kicks (as I told you).
