    I know Steve emphasized hitting pads as a way to take off the stress, but I don't mind suggesting, if you don't object to a few bruises (and jambed fingers and a scrape or three) actual sparring with a live body is twice as relaxing as hitting the bag. Nothing like getting your licks in on another individual. You just have to be willing to take a few too.

    Grant,

    So true - although now that I'm older it takes alot longer for stuff to heal!

    I think martial arts can give you more focus when working through problems.
