Getting hurt in the martial arts
Okay, so I am sitting here, writing a blog post while my class is practicing. Why? Well… I tend to average an injury about once every six months. The latest one is a pretty bad pain inside my hip joint. It’s weird… doesn’t hurt when I walk or stand, but sitting or trying to move my leg while I’m sitting are intensely painful.
The injury 6 months ago (really more like 8 months ago) was a foot broken in three spots. Before that it was a broken rib.
I’d be curious to hear how in-line this is with other people’s experiences. Is it just because I’m a big guy… more weight moving around and whatnot? I know I could save some injuries by toning it down, but I also hate do just “coast” through and get no workout.
Thoughts?
