Re: Casualty of nikyo

I have bad knees and have to be mindful of them when I train. In fact I do very little shikko or swari waza because I don't want to make already chronic old injuries worse. But training while being mindful of an old injury that has healed ,as much as it is going to, is really not the same as training with an active unhealed injury. Doing so is what leads to the chronic injuries that one must always be careful of and which will limit you for the rest of your life.
