So am recovering from misogi finally. Quite achy the last two days! Foolishly tried to do my hundred sword cuts the morning after the 2500 cuts and got to about 25 before I had to stop from screaming wrists. Found a bit of jo swinging much nicer.
After some googling on t'internet I have concluded I cracked a rib a couple of weeks ago falling onto Tom Hume's knee in the dojo! Still quite tender to touch but OK to breath - just every now again I use one particular muscle group and the pain! Ouch.
Jesus - aikido mastery (hah!) does not come cheap!
Oh fuck - sorry to read that, Gav :(
ReplyDeleteMind you, misogi with a cracked rib gets you MASSIVE cred...
Damn right :P
ReplyDeleteWrist before that, back before that, ankle before that... whatever doesn't kill you...
