Modifying Forms

[KenpoTess]

Ok.. Here's my dilemma if you can call it that..
I've got a bad knee all the time and the other periodically. I've started on Long 4 and the Destructive Kneel is soooo Bad for my knees. Is there a modification that would be allowable in EPAK?

there's quite a few close kneel stances that I find painful also.. so what would be a better choice for me and others who have this issue?

Thanks

Tess

Do the tek on someone just how it is in the form and find out how much you really need to drop to follow the guidelines of the tek. Weight distribution is 50/50. You should find that the drop is significantly less once applied to the tek for the "leg cks".:)

[Goldendragon7]

then yes we need to adjust the technique for you.... a slight kneel appears the answer.....:D

:asian:

[Stick Dummy]

KenpoTessMania,

I have seen similar dilemna with other folks over the years (like me and them thar fancy jump spin kicks that my old spindley hips just CANNOT handle), the better instructors/Master Instructors/Senseis/Guros usually are understanding of such things.

The point driven home to me was, teach the student the way you are taught TRADITIONALLY/CLASSICALLY, and if asked simply explain why you do it differently....


Behave! ;-)

[matthewgreenland]

I agree with GD - with the slight kneel - I am pretty sure that the "slight kneel" would be along the lines of a "modified forward bow." The modified forward bow would be a forward bow stance with the rear heel raised up off of the ground. This is a hybrid between the close kneel and forward by.

Hey Golden Dragon -
Is this what the slight kneel resembles?

Hope to be of some help...

[KenpoTess]

Ok.. This is good.. Rainman.. I shall work with opponents (or should I say victims *chuckles* Might help me memorize better too!~)


Dennis, thanks I wanted your blessing.. *grins* Michael suggested the same thing but we thought better than just to change before asking our Instructor ~!

StickdummyPete.. Me Behave? Since when ? Ha!~! Oh yeah well those warmups you have me do.. remember.. half.. quarter.. full..They are Killer on my knees~!! But I sure can do pushups.. *snickers* Old man..*winks.. *runs very fast and blocks.. keeping elbows IN~! *

Matthew.. sounds like it to me~!! I'm gonna try all ~!

Thanks all :))

Sounds good to me.

:asian:

[KenpoTess]

Ok.. I've tried the modified kneel ... I'm pondering now because It's not going to give me the ability to gain the torque nor break/sprain the opponents ankle..much less get 'to' the opponent from where I'm standing. sooo what to do..

[Seig]

Had you asked ME that, I would have told you, step on the ankle before you twist and the torque would have had the same effect....But the input will be interesting just the same.

[Stick Dummy]

Seig,

Please show me the KenpoTessmania specified kneeling kenpo krush type technique tonight at work.

I was thinking.....................:erg:

scary huh?

oh sure.. pull the 'sigh' on me.. un unh.. not going to work ~!!
I was asking the masses for a suggestion.. you were too busy 'poking' me last night.. and having everyone in the studio poke me with their fingers.. and I couldn't even get to my *APD* Sheeeeeesh..

ruhoh.. Think I'm in trouble now.. *innocent looks*

I don't know if this'll help, but in the kneel stances there shouldn't be a great deal of pressure on your knees. Is it that you've problems with flexing them?

One thing I'd suggests, if it helps, is that you check your posture--maybe even turn sideways to a mirror to see whether your back's straight and your chin is up. Also, maybe, look to seee if the upper body's being held rigidly. Mostly, it's been my (limited, admittedly) experience that students having trouble with the kneels are a) slumping with their chin down, b) tightening the upper torso a lot.

Again, I don't know if this is even the problem. But I'm 49, I have mildly-arthritic knees on X-ray (running down hills in grad school, I suspect), and my right knee has improved drastically since kenpo. And I hit pretty low stances, having been taught them by a woman who did a lot of ballet and is a foot shorter than I am. Just in case the weight distribution is the issue, try: for a right closed kneel, put your weight on the leading edge of the right foot and "pull" your hips forward a bit; the left thigh should be tensed. For a right wide kneel, just turn the knee out of course, but keep the left thigh tensed and the weight on the forward edge of the right foot.

Oh, one other thing. I avoid jumping kicks of any kind--and throughout late brown belt, I had intermittent problems with sore knees and heels that came from what appeared to be my love of stomping. It came to be my impression that brown belts love stomping--any chance that this, or landing jumping kicks on stiffened rather than bent knees, or lifting your feet off the mat in kata, is the problem?

Anyway, hope this helps. It's the pits when you're at the movies, or driving, and your knees start aching.

Robert,
Thank you for your input.. :) My right knee is the naughty one.. not sure what's with it.. but going into any kind of deep stance bending it.. even a deep horse it hurts like all get out.. and oh yeah.. sitting in a cars back seat.. I'm in misery as I am at the movie theater too.. ~!
I'll give your suggestions a try~! This getting old is for the birds~! Ha ~!

Have a good safe one~

Kenpotess:

I forgot one other thing. One of my students, who's an MD, suggested that I throw down a fistful of Advil BEFORE working out--aspirin's an anticoagulant, and tylenol associated with liver problems, apparently--the logic being that the anti-inflammatory would mean that I wouldn't be stressing/slapping an already-inflamed joint, which would only increase the injury. My regular doctor confirmed this, and it does seem to hellp a lot--so you might check with your doc, and try it.

Funny you should mention that Robert, I tend to swallow a few excedrin before class and when I forget to, I do notice I'm much tighter after classes.. than when I take them.. and also my knee doesn't bother me as much when I do .. Thanks~!!!

Tess,

Can hardly wait to see the Long 4 stuff, sounds like the gateways to the MA Abyss are opening up for you too.

(Dunno if Billy can handle the raw knowledge power though, might turn into a monster or sumfin:D)

That is the place Seig and I go just outside of hearing distance and mutter & murmer all kinds of arcane mumbo-jumbo, and mystically twirl our hands around in the air.

then turn and look evilly at someone, smiling and nodding our heads......................

Funny how closely related the Parental Abyss is to MA Abyss.. I do recall muttering and murmuring all kinds of arcane mumbo-jumbo many a moment at my daughter who turns 20 Today.. ~!!
