Kungfu exam

[helwen]

Exam was today. L and I both passed :) Overall it was pretty good and interesting. I did something to my left hip in the forward breakfall though, which is annoying. Currently icing that and the right knee (left knee will follow, but I only have two packs). Had I not been so much digging in the garden this week, I might not have done quite so much damage to myself :D

L is doing better than me, happily. This is good, since he's just gone out to load 50 bales onto the truck. His dad wanted him to do it this morning, and L wisely deferred that to after the exam. I'm debating going out to the garden, but will probably wait until tomorrow morning.

It was very interesting watching the upper classmen go through their forms -- nice to see what we have to look forward to!

A dunk in the stream would work almost as good as the ice packs and would get everything iced at once...

*rlh*

Isn't she helpful?? *grin* Congrats to you both on passing. Perhaps learning from L's decision about timing might be useful?? :-)

Well, actually, I was out in the garden as well this week, using that digging adze and a mattock. I was really suffering up until yesterday...

LOL The stream isn't quite that cold ;)

I did try to take it easy Thurs/Fri, but... gardening can't wait sometimes!

Congratulations to you both on the 'pass', but commiserations on the ouch-itude. I can understand that - and don't even have the excuse of martial arts, although I'd like to. Mowing the dandelion jungle... er, lawn... was bad enough to have me puffing like a grampus and tell my back it wasn't happy.

And good luck and fun working on the next level.

Thanks :) Doing better today, although I still haven't gone out and tested the knees to see if class today would be a good idea!
