Mike, hope the interview went well. Hope you also didn't catch much BS from B.S, MD, admissions guy, who tried to bill me for out of state down there after the office of virginia registry confirmed my instate status. I hadn't quit Uechi by any means, but a full hard workout had become unfamiliar when I did it... have been stuck with some miserable shifts recently.
Rich, I'm 27... Have a number of acquaintances who started with back trouble early on... Tim will be at a gym soon without karate, might start teaching again.

I might suggest an important ingredient here that would come into play with Ian - SLEEP. You cannot regenerate your worn tissues properly without it. Sleep deprivation can put you at risk for all kinds of physical and immunological problems.
Why they insist on treating interns like *&^% is beyond me. It puts both physician and patient at risk.
Another really important ingredient here is plenty of fluids. I am convinced that many joint problems can be avoided by simply drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day (more if you sweat a lot during the summer). Running around dehydrated all the time is like running your engine without enough oil. The cartilage matrix doesn't work well if not properly flush with fluid.
For the old farts...
1) A glucosamine/chondroitin and perhaps MSM formula taken regularly as directed. Lots of support in the literature for this.
2) A fatty acid formula that contains the right combination of Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. An ideal daily combination would contain 2 grams fish oil, 3 grams flax seed oil, and 1 gram borage oil (1 g = 1000 mg). There are now a few formulas out there (like Complete EFA from Twinlab) that have it all put together in the right combination. If you put it together yourself, you want to find a source of fish oil (like Norwegian Salmon) that isn't laden with heavy metals and PCBs. This fatty acid complex is good for many, many things that ail you. And remember that the nutriceutical properties of many fatty acids go away when you cook them.
Actually the fatty acid formula is good for the young bucks too!

Chef,
For that kind of throw practice a Judo roll which is a form of ukemi, I assume he did a hip throw of some sort.
I started up judo to toughen up for BJJ, and Jujitsu cross training sessions and ended up staying in it. Grappling is an excellent supplement to Uechi. If it's okay with your Sensei, check out www.judoinfo.com for a list of schools in your area, along with other throws you might like to try.
