Who isn't hurt?

So who isn't hurt right now??
I look around and we have alot of bumps, bruises, sore backs, knees , wrists, shoulders.....
Is it the season of injury?

We are going hard, trying to keep track of and keep on top of practices , training , gradings , tournaments and performances.
Its exciting and exhausting but everyone is digging deep for the final weeks of preparation.

But take care. As we pile on the preparation we tire and sometimes get sloppy with our techniques. Leaving ourselves vunarable to injury. We go home and forget to stretch, ice, heat and rest as required.

I am finally able to do break falls again and I want to keep that ability. I have had to make time for extra stretching and physio drills to get me there. I know I am tempted to bypass that sort of stuff when I don't feel so bad and there is so much on the plate to get after and practice instead.

So take care my friends, make sure after our sessions we are tending to ourselves properly.
Eat well, stretch well, rest well.
Almost there, lets not lose anyone!

too true Sifu. I know I'm having to add a new regiment of stretching just to keep going.
