Well I haven´t written for quite some time because I could not access my blog, this happens a lot and as I said before, there is no help to get from my blog provider. I have considered deleting it instead and start a new one but I have worked a lot on this and written many things over the years, I don´t want all this to desappear.

Yesterday at the gym I tried to lift more weights and I was thinking how it has taken one year for my shoulder to get better, this is ridiculous! The focus now is to get stronger and get myself some serious muscle mass. I know this will help me prevent injuries like this in the future. This is actually the main problem and the reason why I am injured all the time. I am not strong enough even if I am  tough, no strength means you have no business in Martial Arts. This is a set back for me, I had come a long way but I could never reach the next level and  this is why.

I can say I have worked a lot during the past months and I can see some difference. I am also getting educated on how to workout properly and I am constantly trying to get good  informations from different sources. Not only is it good to know what you are doing, it is also very interesting to learn how the body works.

A lot of women think they will transform into a man by lifting weights, well I will not give a course on that , there is a huge amount of information everywhere. Being strong and having a descent muscle mass is good for various reasons.

For information the person I am getting most of my information from is the Swedish Fitness Athlete Pauline Nordin.

How interesting , as soon as I start to write about how better I am,  I get worse! I can barely move these days.

I am supposed to write about my training and instead it is all about this injury and quite frankly this one starts to get on my nerves real bad!

So I am waiting for an Xray and will see what happens from here.

Anyway,  I am looking for a smaller punching bag right now. I had a really heavy one and it was very hard I could not move it when I needed to because it was bigger and heavier than me :-), it has now moved to our club, where it is no problem for the guys to handle. Mikael has arranged the club with training stations, it is good to be able to have this possibility as well and is easily put away for JKD class.

We are nevertheless waiting for the winter to go away so we can start our outdoor training. I can at least run and do other stuff as long as I don´t lift or push or punch. So honestly and seeing the positive aspect in all this , there is no reason why I should not train footwork like a beast right now 🙂 🙂 🙂

I am back !  the shoulder is much better. Never give up the hope that it will get better! Most of the time it is a mind game and even if I had dark times it was never a question whether I would always train JKD.

I have trained JKD since 2004 probably the only girl in sweden that has lasted so long and I am proud of it. Question is why? Well because of what it brings to my life and because of how it makes me feel, I don´t need recocgnition, I don´t get any anyway either than from my own instructor and this is all I need.

Our group has fought to get there and we are here to stay. How I plan to write my blog will maybe change a little from now on but me and Mikael are serious about our training and even if less information is going to come out, the training  is getting intensified. We feel it is not essential to share too much anymore, too bad but we have our reasons. nevertheless our JKD training is and remains! in Honour to our Sifu Ted.

My shoulder is getting better, I can now add some weights to the exercises the doctor gave me. Acupuncture is working well even if I did not think it would.

I started to train and can do most drills but I have to take it easy on the power and increase gradually. As soon as I start to feel it in the shoulder I just have to stop.

I will have to do that until I get back to normal but that is good to be able to do anything at all, I am happy about that!

PS : in case anyone wonder about that Bloody white square coming after all my posts, it is something my blog provider has no interest in fixing , if I was paying for that blog I would for sure get a better service!

Oh well, That was my ” bitching” moment,  let´s move on

Have a nice day 🙂

Let this year be a good training year!

My shoulder is still not good, I have trained last Wednesday and even though I was very careful and only did a few drills on mitts, I paid for it the rest of the week. The doctor says I should take it easy but I don´t think I can stay inactive anymore,  I have to take myself back into the game one way or another.

I have felt bad and sorry for myself for months and let the injury dictate my life , what good did that do? So at the end, it is only a question of how I manage the situation, not the other way around.

I have left the bad spirit back in 2013 and start the New Year with a new attitude. 

Happy new year !
