Scratching the Itch...

 If you have read the last few posts then you will know i haven't been training for a while. 

Today that ended and I well and truly scratched the itch...

Kettle Bells for Hojo Undo and training in Sanchin and plenty of work with the various Makiwaras that adorn the Dojo...it felt great.

The plan now is to get myself work ready. I will be signed off to teturn to full duties in a couple of weeks. The plan is to train every day. 

The real positive to come out of returning is the mental health side of the training.

Im sure if you're reading this and train in whatever it is you do, then you will agree. The benefits in my opinion for mental health are insurmountable.  Something I'm realising more now than ever before. 

When you do something all the time, you can often become comfortable in the things it has to offer. Not always appreciating it to its fullest. I do now.

An itch you cant scratch...

 My rehabilitation recovery journey continues. 

The last 3 weeks have been tough, both Physically and mentally. The Gasshuku's I have been a privilege to be a part of standing me in good stead with the challenges I have had to face. 

I'm now at a point just 3 weeks post op where I am walking normally and unassisted.  Zero pain and generally feeling stronger every day.  

Ever had an itch you can't scratch, that's me with Karate at the moment. 

Now im fully mobile again and continuing with the rehab, I will use the time to refurbish the Dojo. Fresh paint, a deep clean and service the tools....

Sounds like a plan.

Thanks for stopping by....Jony
