    Bilateral THR KungFu/BJJ hips

    @Sion1976 , Great to hear that your flexibility is coming back. I'm still rehabbing my right arm so I couldn't compete in the Dallas Open. I am hoping to be able to compete next month at a smaller tournament but my strength is coming back super slow in my right shoulder/arm. -Brian

    Bilateral THR Zumbamama is getting ready to shake it!

    @Zumbamama , I never felt one leg was shorter then the other. The chances of having leg length issues on a bilateral should be slim to none.
