My experience in injury is I don't stop, but just do the same exercise with very light weight or even no weights just to go through the motion. That's just for me, I am NOT telling anyone to do the same.
The 1st single leg couter that I have learned was:
We'll get to see how long it takes to heal properly. I'll probably start to move into my twice a day workout schedule tomorrow morning. That means I have to wake up at 5 am to go train. I got mixed feelings about that.
I was hoping you had video of it. I'll have to work it out in my mind what it might look like.
Here is a clip for "stealing step, overhook, leg spring". Just assume your opponent's arms is holding on your right leading leg.
Ha ha, I barely went to bed!!! I am living on Hawaii time!!!
Either you guys may train too hard, or I don't train hard enough. I have not had any injury from training for many years.
Sports and injuries goes hand in hand. If you don't have any injuries, only thing I can think of is you are not working hard enough. Which is perfectly ok.
There's also different definitions of injuries. If you get a welt on your arm from stick sparring, some might consider that an injury. Others would think it's par for the course and forget it happened in a week.
What flaws do you most often see when people are practicing this defense? It seems a little complicated. I guess I want to see it used in full speed. I worry about my knee when practicing this with less skilled opponents. Nothing scares me more than doing single legs with white belts. I have seen that go bad twice. Year ending events for both victims. Surgery was needed for both. I am truly a novice grappler.
Oh, I am talking about real injuries like back, shoulder, knee etc. Those you talked about are not injuries in my book, just rest or ignore it.
You should not get back, shoulder, knee injuries in the first place.
Like I said, sports and injuries goes hand in hand, I am not the only one. If you never get injured, I question how hard you are practicing.
Injuries in training are normal if you are pushing your limits. If you are staying within a comfort zone then yes, you won't get many injuries if any. It's not a one size fits all where all exercises won't yield any injuries. If you play tennis then there will be injury, if you run competitively then there will injury. It's only natural for the body to break down in structure as endurance reaches it's limits. Even if I can continue with the exercise with no problem cardio wise, my body may not be able to take what I can give.
That's life. As one get older, it's even easier to get injured. Of cause, if you just do slow walk, you might............................HOLD ON..............Don't tell my wife about that!!! She had to replace both hips from walking!!!! She walk fast, but still!!! BOTH HIPS. When they open her up, they were both bone on bone.
Your wife is the exception. There will always be an exception.
Cool. Just making sure we are all on the same page.
Keep in mind, the problem with using your Kung Fu against MMA is that you have to restrain your strikes, as where the MMA does not have much to restrain.
Yeah the grappling is definitely less restrained throws too to an extent. But I'm fine with it so long as I'm not getting my joints busted up. There are some younger guys that spar really hard. I stay away from them. One of them didn't have a mouth guard and was getting his chin rocked. The MMA guy didn't want to get any of that action. He cares more about quality training and longevity so his body isn't broken after weeks of sparring.
