      IMPORTANT NOTE TO READERS:

      Training in the martial arts involves physical exertion, movements, and actions that can cause injury to you or others. Because the physical activities in this book may be too strenuous for some readers, you should check with a physician before you start your training. If you are ever in doubt about how to proceed or about whether a practice is safe for you, consult with a martial arts professional before proceeding.
