So my oldest has been training with me for about three years (kickboxing primarily). But I recently started my 3 and 4 (almost 5) year olds teaching them some basic stance, punches and kicks. Really hard to keep their attention. Anyway, I started them on this because I am tired of watching watch tv or play with toys all morning. Figured burn some energy with them and get them interested in martial arts.
Yeah well they obviously only have so much tolerance for techniques right now. So to keep them interested I've made the deal that every 10 proper technically reps, I would give them 10 flashy reps. Jumping switch kicks, spinning back kicks, jumping spinning round houses, etc. It's been working good and they get a kick out of it (no pun intended).
Well about an half hour ago I blew out my knee again. I was doing a jumping spinning back kick and landed with a little too much torque, bam knee ballooned up swollen, clicking and popping. I have a bad knee for about 12 years, so I have pain going up and down stairs, etc. This feels different, not painful really, just completely unstable. Almost feel's like the wrong twist and it's just gonna twist off. I've got a surgery pending in July for so hopefully this doesn't derail that. Going to be a few days before I can get some images and see ortho, my PCM already put in consults and I'm seeing him Monday. Sucks...
You guys (especially you busted up guys) be careful showing out. I did a couple slow and easy and than went full retard, should have kept it slow and easy. Stupid-stupid me...
