Hey Guys I managed to sprain my wrist at Karate last night, which as you all know, is not going to be beneficial to playing the guitar ! So, I wondered how many of you have hobbies, jobs or some other activity which sometimes puts you at risk of injury.. but you still do it because you either love it or you have to ? I actually many times had to give up ideas to do some cool activities because I feared hands injury. For example 2 years ago I wanted to learn ice skating It was going great until I fell on my wrist. I couldn't play for 2 weeks I should sell my ice skates now that I think about it hehehe -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu --- Love it.
Grips play a very important role in the entire game. SO the fingers get worked up a lot and get twisted and in some cases broken. Lately, i had started taping them together to minimize some risks. But injuries are a part of the game and will happen, sooner or later. And it will effect my guitar playing. If my fingers become useless, I'll start learning drums. Life is too short to be one dimensional. Try to experience everything you love. Living in fear is not living.

Ben I have my part in the hospital part, but the throwing axe accident wasn't my fault, in fact I am happy that the axe didn't hit me instead

I must object Cosmin!:P Katanas weren't "super swords", the way they were produced was so unique and time consuming because of the terrible quality of Iron that could be mined in Japanese-region. European swords/sabers were in fact of better quality. Sabers used in the XVI-XVII centuries in Eastern Europe should most probably claim the title of "best sword-like weapon of all times" when You take speed and power into consideration. When we are talking about swordsmanship we can also say that Europeans have noting to be ashamed and don't need to envy Japan. Check out this site, it is only the tip of an iceberg http://www.thehaca.com/
Problem with Japanese swordsmanship is that it is so "ritualized" and "home grown" that it isn't "killing art" but "waving Your swords art". Problem with our European swordsmanship is that it was almost totally forgotten, and now we have 400-600 year old books teaching how to use the sword, but it is not always easy to interpret some techniques even though the books are very "resourceful". Anyway sorry for such long off topic:P |

Thank you for the insight well, the idea is that I don't necessarily want to kill anyone you must've surely heard about people like Myamoto Musashi or the great Masamune and his awesome blades |
