    I feel your pain!!

    Well, maybe it's more like I remember mine. I have vertical tears in L4 and L5 I had to learn a whole different way to fight because of that. I did 18 months of hard therapy, but was able to avoid surgery because of it.

    After I healed up, I spent a few years hanging out with some tough Kuntao Silat guys. This past year I have been pretty lazy though. Now I am probably going to be shifting my focus to strength, conditioning and health preservation mostly. I need to drop weight and get my energy levels back.

    I have been in a weird "Funk" lately, where I can't seem to get myself to work out, but I will play with exercises here and there. I have been doing pushups, and throwing some light weight around, then screwing off on Face book....

    I was doing well all summer though. It was when the weather changed that it all went down hill.

    Just roll with the punches. If your body is saying slow down, Do so. Give yourself time to figure out your energy leaks, sleep , food etc. Regroup, soldier on.

    That is, I believe, the right spirit.

    And to sound a little crazy, if you're not fighting why keep your fighting edge?

    Hope things work out for you MK.
    I quit after getting my first black belt because the school I was a part of was in the process of lowering their standards A painfully honest KC Elbows

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    I'm getting a tribal tattoo next. Gotta be ready for my upcoming cage match. Seriously now, we discussed my shaving at length.
