so, i have this really bad tendancy/habit to roll over my head... like a gymnastics style roll. i used to roll really nicely... then i got injured... and now i roll very un-aikido like.
last night, i was paired with kh so he could go over basics with me and try to straighten me out. as we were going over basics and i was starting to roll over the parts i was supposed to roll over, i realised why i stopped rolling correctly... shoulder spasms. if i roll over my head, i needed angle my head and stretch out those muscles.
then again, maybe it was just the exercises we were going through?
i dunno. i think this weekend, i will take out some mats and go over those exercises again and see if i can apply it on my own. i'd really like to roll properly, again.
went on a hiatus from martial arts, in general. it's amazing what words can do to a person.
words can help... but if they are the wrong words used in malicious context, they can hinder.
a few of us are still recovering from certain persons actions.
the truth is there if we seek it.
cryptic, huh? it's meant to be.
testing for 2nd kyu in a month or two. hopefully two. only been back for about two months... so am still rusty.
working with awkward people is frustrating, yet rewarding. awkward... as in phyiscally. they don't seem it, but on the mat it's like (pull hair out). blah.
