hahahah. yeah hongs, i remember going to your dojo all the time and doing all that stuff. i am not able to make it to practice early enough to do the warm-up excercises, so i'm not sure how many they do. like how everyone else said here: it's qaulity and not quantity. i practiced at a dojo in hawaii in september and they really stressed form and footwork. it was one of the best practices i ever had. i do however believe that repetition is extremely important as long as you do each one correctly. one of the biggest problems at my dojo is that beginners with and without bogu try to swing really fast and do fancy moves. of course it pretty much ruins any good form they had, and all those months of practicing basics goes down the drain. anyways, back to the subject. i believe going into the triple digits for warm-ups is not a good idea, BUT for conditioning and ESPECIALLY punishment 400, 500 hayasuburi is juuust right. heck why not do 1000?
