Finally Gettin Back In

After about a month & a half lonnnnnggggg break from Kuk Sool Won i can go back & start getting back into shape not like im out of it or anything lol. But so that i can prepare to test for i don't feel confident that i know all my stuff to pass the test to get my blue belt for when i was on that vc i totally lost every thing even my forms that i know how to do to the techniques! grrrrr i wish i would have practiced that stuff when tho my shoulder was killing me just in my mind tho.

Finally Ready!

Its been a good month & a half since ive injured my right shoulder grappling in Kuk Sool Won
but im soo ready to get back into it. Ive been away from it too long the reason why i say that is beacuase i have lost everything that ive learned & was also preparing for a testing that was to take place last saturday the 22nd of January. But im sure that if i just go to class & review for a few weeks then it will all come back to memory i hope lol. So that i can do my makeup testing. But there is a good thing that came out of this injury that i got a boyfriend that was a Godsent! Now that i have him i have to figure out a way to spend time with him during the week since now that i will be going back to Kuk Sool soon hopefully.  I'll figure out something!

Right Shoulder Injury :(

I didn't know that i would be walking out of my dojang with a kinda major injury well to me it is! I when to class on 12/6/10 i made it through the beginners class fine but it was the advance class that did go to good intill the last few minutes of class! We were grapplin gon the floor & some how i got out of it but then we when for it again as this little dude somehow turned me my right shoulder / arm went into a totally weird position & he was putting all hes weight on my right side then of a sudden i heard a crack!!! i was yelling in a very soft voice to stop but he kept on going intill i said it for the second time! good thing my KJN was right there! He's studying sports therapy & he checked it out! I couldn't hardly drive home it was soo painful!! i then tried to go to work the next day but once i got there i realized that i needed to go to the docs & rest this shoulder. The doc ordered X-rays & i didn't have a dislocated shoulder nether did i fracture the bone. Then i went to this other doc & he told me that i didn't tear anything but i would be out for a good 6 wks or more! He gave me some exercises to do. Im been doing some of them & i can see the improvement!! but hopefully i can test on Jan 15th if not when i get back they are going to allow me to do a make up test! During that 1st couple of weeks i kinda got into a light depression cause i wanted to go to class but i knew i can't! :( But that has passed. Now my shoulder still hurts but not like a few weeks ago! I wonder how do i know that it is all healed up? of course the pain will be gone tho but still how do i know! i guess im gonna have to call the doc's nurse & ask her to talk to the doc himself!

Injury / Blue Belt Test Preparation

Its been awhile since I have posted & though I would give ya'll an up-to-date on what ive been up to in kuk sool!!! Well the last post that I had injured myself by doing an inside kick. Well it took a few days to heal & was totally fine buy the time Monday rounded around.


I kept my main focus on my sohn Mohk Soo’s & my spin kick as well but now im more focused on my blue belt form more than anything! For I have to do the FULL FORM but the only thing is I don’t know at least half of it.!!! My testing is less or equal to a month’s time away!!! Im still kinda worried about the spin kick in general but that’s only one of 2 things that I have to do perfectly to get my blue belt! The 1of 1 is that super hard spin kick! I don’t care what anyone says about that one kick. Its different for everyone what I mean is it could be super easy for some & super hard for others & well im one in the super hard group but im trying though. The thing that is im discovering that my left is better then my right kinda I think. But im still searching & still discover which leg is my strongest leg for this one specific kick in general! For when I do find it then that one leg right or left would be the one in which I will do the break on.

Im not even yet worried or even started studying the terminology part of the test yet! But it may start catching up to me.

I hurt my left wrist again! I did it by actually I have no idea well maybe it had something to do with the techniques that we were going over for an whole week! BUT the good news is that its returning to normal on a fast pace! Hopefully in 2 or less days I wouldn’t have to wear this wrist bandage on it! Well tonite’s class & for the rest of the week is all Sparring & Grappling!   In which I sometimes don’t really enjoy but im beginning to do a transaction into actually liking sparring & all that good stuff! But for sure im going to be wearing a forearm pad & a everlast gel hand pad that is for grappling.

The Good thing is Ive got all the sohn mohk soo’s down & now I have to just get them in it memory / muscle memory as well!!!

Monster + KSW Class = Hyperness Disaster

What a crazy nite in class i had! I tell ya it was loco ( 미친 )!!!
So we did our warm ups & one of them was a full bridge but i thought i would go a step farther & go for an advanced bridge like in the book that im reading that has stretches - Ultimate Flexibility a complete guide to stretching for martial arts! So i did!

So they paired us up & well i was paired up with a person that has a lot of humor!! Mix that with a person thats SUPER HYPER and u get a hilarious partner team that at one moment makes u laugh & then next they make you laugh ! We were still doing all the drills that the PSBN was telling us to do. But the hyper thing only lasted for a little bit! But it would come back now & then.

That nite i learned alot of  new material that i never got into like weapon training - wooden sword! After JKN had shown us the steps & told us to put them together. I did the steps slowly & then i started to put it all together like a mini dance! & i tell ya i was flowing i could sense that the JKN was watching me closely but i didn't mind at. It looked pretty darn good if u asked me since it was my 1st time i had ever trained with such a weapon! That was soo much fun. I totally enjoyed that part about class besides all the jumping , kicking & gymastic material that nite.That nite i when straght home & after changing out of my KSW outfit i immdeity when on the internet to start the search for the perfect wooden sword for training during & out!!!

Injured Hand OMG!

I just can't believe that i  ''self-injured " myself just by doing a left inside kick last Friday nite in Kuk Sool!!! Plus thats not the worst thing that happened that nite either!!! It happened after we did our warm ups & then it happened when we were doing our kicks!!! After all that kicking drills PSBN was telling us what we were going to do that nite & where we were to go but I was drowning all that out & focusing on my injured hand. Evaluate the damage that was done & see how bad it was also thinking about a plan to get through the class since that nite was techniques & forms! As i was looking at it & feeling the swollen palm & vein that seemed to ( to me) poped out of place in which was totally werid looking & disgusting !!! But it didn't look that bad but after i finished the class u can see the vein it was raised up & it was burised too! like purpleish & blackish & blueish!!!


So we were paired up or I was paired up with William the little hyper dude! LOL so the PSBN told us that techniques to start working on. So William grips my wrist / hand real tight! Im like “ don’t grip my hand that tight my hand is injured!”

We were doing Sohng Mohk Soo !!!  I got through the class! But now my palm & vein are healed!

Fake Nails In KSW??

Im just wondering if anyone out there that is in Kuk Sool Won that had wore ( or is wearing) fake nails in class & was able to do everything like u could if u didn’t have them on. The only reason why im asking this is because I would like to get my nails done for my birthday but like a week before. Is it a totally bad idea to do so because I wouldnt like to hurt myself if we were doing takedowns ~ falls ~ rolls ~ Jump rolls ~ grappling etc??? Anyone have advice on this???
