Feng, So... Why wasn't he able to apply against me? Loose and flexible wrists do not allow the necessary tension to be applied to the next joint up the chain to respond to the applied torque from the twisting.

Hello everyone, I A nice, quiet cave with a good source of water near by, a handy source of firewood and plenty of food would be a nice vacation from where my brain is going right now. And it would give me a chance to nail this down. Bear with me. Hi Bob, Did you say you are from Kentucky? From wha...
