No Class tomorrow - Sensei has to work overtime.

On the bright side, with all the money Sensei's making, he may be able to buy a building to teach out of everyday

So... Sensei's up, walking (mostly), and not dead. Ready to start class.

-Aaaaand the Church is having a Bazaar.

How to quickly recover from ankle injuries
Step 1: Alternate Ice and heat, elevate, and wrap in Compression (but give time to breathe) for 48 hours
Step 2: After 48 hours, Heat and GENTLE range of motion exercises
Step 3: Wear compression socks while slowly returning to activities based on comfort, continue gentle range of motion exercises and add minimal resistance
Step 4: ...
Step 5: Find new and dumb ways to re-injure yourself

I used to be dropped by sprained and strained ankles, probably stemming from a hairline fracture in my tibia in my youth practicing Karate at home.

Obviously and post-injury rehab was all provided via paper instructions and 10 year old untreated ADHD Sensei was not about to read.

But keeping yourself in motion aids healing and recovery, so long as you don't do something stupid and jump right back into it.

No Class today, show up at the designated location in the Discord at 11am for Tameshigiri

Starting with water bottles, then we move up to the harder stuff.

Last minute change of plans:
We'll have class at Midlothian Mines Park at 9:30 today, we'll do Karate 9:30 -10:30 and Iaido from 10:30 to 11:30.

We'll enjoy this little bit of sunshine and warmth while we've got it.

No Class today!
Sorry for the further inconvenience, Sensei's workload is a mile high.

😡😠Due to yesterdays sudden precipitation and below freezing temperatures, we will not be having class today. Please stay safe and avoid walking on refrozen patches of ice.😡😠

January Sucks!
I apologize, but we will also be canceling classes for tomorrow, January 31st due to the lingering snow, ice, and threat of even more winter precipitation.

We will resume in February!
