Word to the wise

[Josh Oakley]

Any time you do a heavy inner thigh workout, and you get suckered into a sparring match the next day, DO NOT do a spinning reverse crescent kick to the head. Actually, I'll go out on a limb and say no high kicks at all!

You don't feel the pain until the adrenaline wears off and you realize you probably pulled your groin.

When that happens, EVERYTHING hurts (Walking, sitting, stretching, etc...)

easy, no heavy workouts before a sparring match

[Josh Oakley]

Yeah, I know. Everything I tell my students, right?

Thursday I was at the gym doing back kicks and side kicks. I was doing them as fast as I can do a jab (and I ain't a slow with a good jab.) I was so jacked up firing those kicks, happy as a clam, I didn't realize my old 'war injury', slight damaged tailbone, was taking a pounding.

Two hours later I was walking like an old man.... finaly stopped hurting after a light workout today. But it will be back if I keep up this foolishness (and I will keep it up!)

Ouch! Sound like you learned the lesson the hard way....:shock:

Well, like a friend of mine told me, you're never too old to learn a lesson in humility.

[stickarts]

I will be sure to not do that! :) ouch!

Just like at a tournament, I told a student, throw combinations, double kicks, and all he threw was bk leg arc kick. I cant help but know where he got it :banghead:

I constantly forget they are watching me. :ultracool

It is always helpful to know your body's limitations otherwise you coudl get inured and potentially get knocked out of training for awhile. That alone is a detriment in my eyes.

look there is no one here with the name Clark Kent, right?? then why do things that will mess you up??, maybe it's the age, (and i mean no disrespect here) because i see alot of young guys do this crap, and later,,well you know what happen,look do what the eagles said "TAKE IT EASY":)

Hell, it's been over twenty years since I've thrown any high kicks, but the same applies to the rest of your body as well. Don't expect to be loose and snappy with your arms the day after lifting really hard either. Last night I ineptly and painfully "groaned" my way through a two hour chi-sau workout the day after a hard upper body workout stressing bench, curls and triceps. Never again!
