Don't worry, I don't think anyone minds. There are some things that are more important than trivial details (in this case foot pads).
By the way, martial arts - that is really cool. Especially the weapons. I've never tried any martial arts but I always love any sort of martial arts movie, tv show, live demonstration, etc. You really WERE working out a lot, I guess for many people it is a phase in life, while for others it is their entire life. Thanks again for sharing.
