    Stick-shift

    Thanks to both of you for the advice; I can get it out of first, but I want to do it faster! Also, any advice on downshifting, is it good to downshift or just pop it in neutral, I have heard conflicting points on this. Good point on the left heel always being on the floor. Robin

    Jujitsu vs. Tae Kwan Do

    Jiu-jitsu I beleive is a lot tougher of a workout, my sessions are normally one hour, two days a week. The groundwork in jiu-jitsu is so tough, endurance wise, because you are basically wrestling once you and your opponent are on the ground and you are using muscles that you normally do not use...
