Hey there Cutiepie
Moderator: TheMachine
By training, I'm not talking about abuse. Just to be clear.
I rarely nag and even then its only situations like "Hey, your bill is going to go to collections for shit you bought, you should pay for it!" If he doesn't it's his choice but at least I tried to help *shrug*
I don't nag about dishes or putting the seat down but I guess it really comes down to finding a personality that suites you. Some guys would forget to wipe their ass if they didn't have a girl to remind them :-/

Do not think anyones talking about abuse. But there are times when nagging is just bad. Like a recent chat between two family members, one was crying over the loss of her father and the other one was nagging her about putting on make up because her eyes were red. Amazing. It truly is.
That burning feeling will remind em sooner or later about wiping though!

What style did you practice again Abe?
Wooden Rod works, as well as kicking a fastened treestick with ropes around it.
No idea bout the elbow, havent tried that myself and dont see any need, the elbow is quite viscious even without cartilage!
I am sure the closest Muay Thai gym have the recipe for elbows!
It's easy to damage your elbow so take care though!

You can also use a Wooden Dummy Abe!
Cover the part that resembles the persons leg with rope and kick on that area. Remove the rope when you feel ready.
As long as you kick on the wooden leg with the shin you will toughen it!
You can also use Makiwara boards used in Karate!
Just like your Sifu said, rolling bamboo regularly across the shins will work too! I never did that though, i just kicked with my shin!
Very painful in the beginning of course, but i got my results!
Not many liked my kicks when i hit with the shin. A funny story was that when i was in my "toughening my shins"-period, i was not very old, i think 16-17 years or so! In the club where i trained at that time, most of the peeps were older and heavier. I think there was only one fellow who was as light as me at that time.
I had a sparring-partner that weighed around 180-190 pounds and was called "Rambo" or something similar, cant remember 100%.
Never knew why he was called that, but i assume he thought he was very macho.
Anyways, talk about a mismatch, this guy was 25+ years and outweighed me! Good thing for me that day was that we weren't practicing wrestling that day, but kicks! Bad thing for him though!
I think i kicked his legs and shins with my shin about 6-7 times when you could see an expression of agonizing pain in his face, and he yelled : Damn, you kick hard for your size!
Then he walked away with a limp!

He's bi, but I already knew that. And by bi I mean he recognizes that he has been attracted to and dated men in his life but has not had any sexual encounters with them before.
I've decided that he has some serious mental/emotional handicaps to deal with but there isn't much I can do about since it's not my problem now that we are just friends. I hope he can get help and get it fixed eventually because I want all of my friends to be whole and happy people (and who isnt happier when they are getting some with a quality person).
Either way, I'm moving on with my life. Thanks for supportively listening to me whine and bitch and moan a bit. It was nice. *hugs* a_guide
