I'm gonna die
 

Just finished my first Tae Kwon Do class ever.


holy shit i'm out of shape ..

and i find myself - for the first time in about 30 years - completely lost in a sport. no idea what i'm doing - uncoordinated as hell.

pray for me, you sinners.

I took Tae Kwon Doe as a pre-teen.It was great.I hope you do better next time urgeok.It gets easier the more you do it.Your body will get use to it.I wish you luck.

Pussy. :D ......................

christ i hope so :)

i'll be doing it 4 nights a week ... that should help

Yeah,that should help.Youll gain more energy and stanima.Youll also become a deadly machine!:D

i believe that will make me a deadly love machine

LOL.



Since your body is hurting,go soak your body in cold water.It will make you feel better.Trust me.Did so for me.

I didn't understand a word of that.

Oh, quit whinning;)

Went back to training BJJ/MMA a few weeks back after a 3 year break. I couldn't walk for days and i've not been back since....I dunno if i can stick the pace these days. Sad really as I love martial arts..

I did TKD for about 13 years too - used to love it at the time but its not really my thing now.

Yeah you'll get used it pretty soon - 6 weeks and you'll be fit..

I wish I could fine the graphics I did for my online TKD dojang. I'll look when i get home - they're kinda funny.

The guy at Bullsido found it and made a thread..

Amazing even how ppl half thru the thread still took it serious..

I thought this thread was going to involve a terminal disease.

It does- old age.

too true, too true

from me ? i hate drama.

but old people do like to complain :D

are you training to be a cage fighter,:D

Obviously not as REX KWON DO is the prefereed cager fighter style..

yeah - this is more of a choreographed dance .. very definate moves and rules for those moves.


i got interested in it because my kid does it - and his teacher is excellent.
they do a lot of stretching - good rehab for my knee ... but today my knee is sore as hell - because of the riding stance - and weight bearing side kicks (which i cant do properly for shit ... yet)

What's a stanima? I hope I don't get one! :D

Oh for the love of God......please tell me you aren't wearing tights!:eek:

don't worry..no one does lmao..i really don't know why he..no wait..IT talks like that..maybe some brain issue or something..people are confusing lol.

I meant stamina and boo-yah!

As much as i faulted TKD i'd never calle it a choreographed dance? I know u are just starting but to the higher grades not put on gloves and spar?

Anyway here's the 'key board warrior' photo from my website...One thing i noticed i lost my stamina so much but my flexabilty stayed alot longer. That said there is no way i could hold my leg out straight and leav it there like that pic..

oh yeah there is - but it isnt exactly street fighting - there are strict rules about how you hit, kick, block, etc ...

when 2 guys are doing it right - there's definately a choreographed feel to it ..


but yeah - dance probably isnt the most appropriate word

dont be coy, you know you wanna see that..

wow - i'm really fucked - this is waaaay harder on my knee than volleyball...

i had no idea

If you increase your flexibility in your hips and strengthen your thighs, it will really help your knee.

wimp.......:D

i sure hope so - cause it's pretty damn painful right now

It will do wonders for your sex life as well

see, it's a win-win situation. :p

well, on account of the knee, certain positions will have to be crossed off the chart.

lovely news update :

on Wednesday I got my last injection in the knee..
It was a bit swollen from the 2 TKD classes ... so the Dr said - don't do anything - give the knee a rest for a while.

well, a few hours after the injection the kne starts to feel weird.
by Wed night it had blown up like a freaking balloon and i cant sleep because of the pain .. i also cant bend my knee - at all.

somethings gone wrong - not sure what - i was prescribed anti-inflammitories - but i dont think they're doing anything.

had to take off work yesterday - wont be going in today either .. cant sit for more than a couple of seconds at a time - cant stand.

(the only reason i'm here now is i couldnt sleep - but i cant sit in front of the PC any longer now either ..

what a cluster-fuck.

only up side is i'm getting caught up on a few movies

ICE ICE BABY!

Seriously- until you can find out what's wrong the ice will help swelling go down and alleviate a bit of the pain.

A bad knee and you do something that has an endless number of leg strikes. That will loosen the knee up real good.

I found whats hard on the knee joints was practising kicking without a target, in particular the front kick. never snap the kick onless its into a bag (or person..lol) as it was produce a lot of wear and tear on the joint..

Also the pivioting action on the standing leg when doing a side kick can damage the knee if there is too much friction with the floor...

Heel Hooks can be muder on the knees so be thankful you're just doing TKD :-)

I'm so sick of hearing about those

(No pun intended)

That seems strange to get a reaction like that. Though, if it's not improving at all by staying off of it, and this has never happened before, maybe you should go to the emergency room. Not to freak you out or anything, but you can never be too careful about these things. :o

well, i just did see the Dr..

she thinks my quads (the muscles above the knee) have ruptured ..

this just gets better and better.

Ughh...that is bad. :(

I am guessing surgery?
