Hiya! I'm a female training currently in Taekwondo and I've had a broken leg for the past while from a bad fall. Thankfully that was the only thing injured but before the accident, I was very active and flexible. Do you have any tips on how to "get back in the grove"?😂 What little excercise and training I do is very limited and I know I'm losing progress already. Thank you so much! You're so awesome!❤

I think you should ask your doctor for a referral to a physical therapist where you can talk to them about maintaining as much flexibility and strength as possible without aggravating your injury, which could slow it’s healing or cause it to heal incorrectly. When you see the physical therapist as for safe exercises and stretches for you to do while you wait to heal. 

Also, perhaps you could practice wrist locks and arm blocks while sitting down with your leg propped up. That way you will keep the leg still but still be able to practice the arm movements to maintain that skill level.

The Dirty Wrist Locks From Side Control

Preparing for Grading

Today we were practising Pinan Shodan for the upcoming grading this month. To help, we were performing Shuto-Uke on this pad that measured power (and I got 52!) This definitely helped me to know how much power to put into my techniques when performing my katas. 

We also worked on wrist lock drills. I have pretty flexible wrists and so I do not feel the pressure that other people can. It intrigues me to see the different wrist capabilities that everyone has. However, it is a small curse for me as I do not feel the pain and so my partner could be damaging my wrist without me knowing.

The grading this month will determine whether I am able to progress to a brown belt or not! I am excited to show what I am able to do and it will be outside this time which means I wont get too hot!

Felt good to practice a little Aikido again last Thursday! We worked on Kotegaeshi from gyaku hanmi katate dori starting from static step by step and working up to a more dynamic and flowing techique. I had a nice "aha" moment too when Sensei Norm worked with me on pushing with the far side to keep everything in front of my center instead of pulling and getting ahead of the technique which results in them wrapping around on your back. And trust me, you don't want to give up your back. Haha. I learned that one in jiujitsu.

What Is Locking? Basically it’s the manipulating of joints.

The idea is to get him past what his natural flexibility is, where the natural anatomical limits of the human body can go, and we bring it beyond it.
