Injuries inevitable?
Hello everyone,
I have been practicing now for about two years, and I've yet to get any serious injuries, although my bad back acts up once in a while. However, it seems as though just about every black belt I speak with has one or more nagging injuries. I also hear about a fair number who have had to give it up almost entirely due to injury. This troubles me. I like aikido a lot, but don't like always having something hurting, and I don't like feeling that with what I'm doing, serious injury is inevitable. I would like some other opinions on this matter. Am I way off base here, or do others feel this way as well?
Thanks,
Daniel
