RE: Weekend Experiences - All Hail Summer Weekends!

in Weekend Experiences3 months ago

Wow. Nice long day of fun. I hope those Jiu Jitsu training didn’t result in body ache. Actually, i do like feeling body ache in the morning after the activity. It tells me I'm happy I'm still alive.

Sort:  

I like to tell myself that pain is just weakness leaving the body and stiffness the next day is just a positive reminder of the work I have already put in!

It seems training martial arts for over a decade, especially one with full sparring, you get good at taking care to prevent injuries. Afterall, I have no aspirations to become an MMA fighter or do anything more extreme than fighting in tournaments. BUT, over 10 years older than when I started, I am fighting the clock.

So, the ache is a good one and all the benefits that come with being active and learning a real life skill far outweigh the aches.

That's why I decided to take on taichi in 2010 because I thought it's something I can do longer. So longer return on investment.
