Ever have that urge to get up and start yelling "MEN!" on the top of your lungs while pretending to be cutting a men suburi in the middle of the night? ( "men" is kendo term for mask/face, think a wack to the head ). Well I just had that urge... I think I'm turning psycho :D As usual, Judo was great fun for the whole family. Ok, maybe not the WHOLE family per say. There are plenty of injuries that can occur in Judo. Like today, I accidentally reinjured one of my sensei's knee while trying to do osoto-gari. Then I kinda caused this other guy to pull his muscle on this upper right leg while trying to counter his ippon seoinage. Yeah, it wasn't pretty, I felt like a walking black-curse or something. Before that, I cliped his chin with my elbow while practicing a throw ( I didn't do it on purpose, I swear!). Then he pulled his back by some other guy, and then got kicked in the balls....I guess we all have our bad days, I mean I injured my right foot 2 times already. Still, I feel kinda bad for that guy. I remember Eva commenting how she thinks Chinese martial art causes permenant damage to the body. I have to disagreed. It's been over three years since I started kungfu, and the worst injury I've had was a bloodied nose and a punch in the eye ( and messed up hands....but that's not the point ). So far I've more seriously injured myself in Judo than I ever have (except for that one time when I broke both of my arms, and that other time when I broke my right arm...again ). Yeah, so I can see my life-long injury already -- the stupid right foot. Oh, officially got my yellow belt today, that was cool. Very awsome practice today, randori was excellent ( aside from the um....injuries I caused )
