	I would say that the greatest potential for painful and annoying
muscle strains and tears is not the blows taken by the hittEE, but the
sudden sharp movements of muscles by the hittER.  I know from experience
that a back injury can be caused by a sneeze, or by turning suddenly.
I must do regular stretching exercises just to remain mobile at all and
I think the program I use could be extremely helpful to the fighters.
If anyone wants to know more, contact me privately to save bandwidth and
I will tell you what I know.
