5.5 (February 19)

 About a month ago I injured my shoulder during class. I was holding the bags during the Level II Teen/Adults class and on the very last one I put my arms up a fraction of a second too late and it ended in injury. Over the next few weeks it slowly got better, but it took a lot of effort to not use my shoulder as much. I think it gave me a new perspective on how much I use my shoulders during a form, because as soon as I would put any ‘power’ through it, it would hurt. This is one of the few times where I’d say an injury has been extremely helpful for my Kung Fu.

    All injuries can be helpful (opportunities) depending on how we approach them. Just look at Toudai Poitras!

    Exactly, injuries can be great learning tools.
