Joint Mobility

The wife's boyfriend (great guy) was talking about some odd bits of martial arts training he'd had. I mentioned that I'd done only a little, but that my instructors had failed to make me respond with the various "holds" (grabbing hand and twisting to make you submissive).

In good style, he tried out his holds on me and my flatmate. Flatmate responded immediately as most people would. I was more "can start to feel some tension, and I can feel the joints separating a bit, but otherwise nothing".

A mild case of hypermobility does have its advantages sometimes. I also had a massage therapist go "Wow, cool!" when they held my hand. And I'm not even that flexible.
