Dawg gone, every time I pulled a muscle, it put me on the floor.

I see Bleeb is shrugging his shoulders, whatever LOL

How’d you get him up there, lady?

“Shoe on…shoe off! Shoe on…shoe off!”

I’m thinking that’s probably not a bad as failing at the board break. Try Tai Chi.

Good, good. Now do the Heisman.

He would be a perfect model for a college art class. He probably hasn’t moved in hours.

His only thought right now is, “This hurts, and I really gotta pee.”

Last seen at Pompeii!

Yellow belts need to learn how to stretch first.

Not a joke! When I started Martial Arts as a kid I got leg-spasms after every class! (Until I learned to,’Cool-Down", stretch.)

Kiai! Japanese for “Dang that hurts!”

Hoo-wee, that hurts! We’ve probably all done that at some point in our lives. I pulled a muscle once because I didn’t stretch and warm up before a Jujitsu match! No wait, wait… sorry, that was a Mahjong match! …. yep, yep, I remember now, it was definitely Mahjong! ¯\(ツ)/¯

Just watch. I saw this move in the Karate Kid.

If you fix it, he’ll fall over!

“Cramping Crane” – best left to the sensei

When he discovered a muscle he didn’t know he had.

Yet he looks so focused

The patient kind of looks like the test subject at the beginning of Young Frankenstein, right down to the expression after the doctor knees him.
