haha I can remember what it feel like Bartrim, actually if I was to undertake some of those conditioning exercises that I used to do now I would be very sore indeed. The body can be hardened fairly quickly but you also loose it fairly quickly too if you don't keep it up.
good to see your sticking with it too mate, just wondering....I saw in a post of yours that you have 2 kids, are they inspiration in learning martial arts?
