New article on injuries, titled Joints in Trouble: Self-Treatment, is posted
at http://www.stadion.com/injuries_sports.html.

Here is a short excerpt from this article:

"In this article you will learn about a method of self-treating
damaged joints. The method is developed by a renowned Russian
chiropractor, Vitaliy Demyanovich Gitt. He presented this method in
a series of articles published in the magazine Fizkultura i Sport.
"Because many martial artists suffer the consequences of training
conducted by unqualified, ignorant "instructors," masters, etc., I
decided to offer a synopsis of Dr. Gitt's method. Who knows,
perhaps it will benefit someone with hips and knees destroyed by
the still "usual" stretching done in m.a. classes, or with ankles
damaged by poor instruction for kicking and jumping.

"Now, basic facts about joint damage.

"All joint damage is, or ends in, cartilage damage. Articular
(joint) cartilage has no blood vessels, and so its contact surfaces
obtain nutrients by diffusion from synovial (joint) fluid. (Parts
of the joint cartilage that are closer to the bone, or to the joint
capsule, are nourished through those structures, which are richly
supplied with blood.) If the joint does not move, the fluid is not
pumped into the cartilage, so its cells die. The joint surface
becomes rough and uneven, and that is the beginning of trouble. Any
injury that requires immobilizing a joint deprives that joint's
cartilage of normal nourishment--and may begin a process of
cartilage damage."

INTERESTED IN MARTIAL ARTS AND SELF-DEFENSE?

See my recent self-defense tips at
http://www.real-self-defense.com/self_defense_tips.html.

Important announcement:
With the 1st of August the price of the Unbreakable Umbrella (an ideal self-defense weapon, legal to carry everywhere) will
rise from the current $179.95 to at least $189.95. This price increase is due to the growing cost of materials and labor in
Europe. Order your Unbreakable Umbrella before it gets more expensive!

Unbreakable Umbrellas are available at
http://www.real-self-defense.com/unbreakable_umbrella.html.

Other news:
One of our authors and my friend, Piotr Drabik, has disappeared in
September of 2006 as he traveled from Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) to
Honolulu, Hawaii. We (his friends at Stadion Publishing) were
assisting in the investigation of his disappearance. The investigation
was ineffective and eventually the case was dropped by all involved
authorities.

If you have seen him on or after September of 2006, or know
anything about his whereabouts, please e-mail us at infoATstadionDOTcom.
