Tripling on it...if your brain still wants to fence and learn new tricks and stuff when you're 70-mumble...if in you remember how much fun running was, or horseback riding, or...anything that makes you feel GOOD....when it hurts, STOP. (Ask me how I know that. I'll tell you what I lost by listening to the "It's got to hurt..." and "Don't be a sissy," and "It's only sprained, walk it out," and "If it ain't broke, keep going..." At least I didn't pay attention to the people that said "You don't need a helmet...it just gives you 'helmet hair', so I'm still here to back Russ and Kat up on this.) Of course when I was a kid there was little money for medical care, and few doctors took "minor" childhood injuries seriously, esp. in girls.
Working through tendonitis as a fencer is -rough-, and I try to share my broken human knowledge with younger fencers doing things that would just instantly put me in the Injury Box. Being careful with our joints and such is essential for fencing for a long time. I had many, many, many teachers who told me "Just be tougher" or "complaints aren't progress" and most of them are just...too hurt to continue doing what we used to take a lot of joy in doing. Be careful with yourselves, my fencing friends, because one day I'd love to fence with you! Thanks for putting out a video like this, it's much needed in our hobby!
I`m made of breadsticks and soggy pasta these days so I can completely relate mateys :D
Yeah, I'm no longer 60, and it shows. My doctor says i'm getting older, to which I say I'm too young to get old!
I had on 3 the other day.
"No pain, no gain" causes so many people so many unnecessary problems.
Also, had Kat pegged as about 30% younger despite her pop culture references. :p
It's almost as if learning and conditioning are two separate things.....
Pursue athletic hobbies or challenging exercise you are going to be perpetually uncomfortable. Usually in the form of soreness from weightlifting or impact accumulation from wrestling or judo as examples. Does not mean you will be the aspiring bodybuilder gym bro has destroyed his shoulders before the age of 30 or the gymnast who has two bad shoulders, 2 bad knees, and A perpetual wrist injury.
@@AKlover The problem is that a lot of people don't know how to differentiate between reasonable soreness and pushing to the point of active harm--and may not even fully grasp that there is a difference. Then having heard "no pain no gain" and similar soundbites out of context their whole lives they miss or ignore the queues to back off or make adjustments. You don't have to be training especially intensely for that to do harm or even cause permanent damage.
@@jritchey267 Your body tells you when to stop or layoff or what is too awkward to be sustainable.. Trying to fix stupid or stubborn is A fools errand. I'm 43yo and I still remember my teens and early 20s being told often "DON'T F$CK UP YOUR SHOULDERS BY LIFTING IN THESE WAYS!" no shocker I still have healthy shoulders.
Truth! Spinal fusion at 48 after doing martial arts since I was a teenager. Not fun!
not at all.
What a sweet and athletic girl!
Middle-aged mother of two.... with respect, Kat is long past "girl."
Did she say "lightsaber" class??
@@Outrider74 Yes we teach classical Hungarian saber, and also classical italo Hungarian lightsaber. ;)
Thug it out.
All the guys who told me that in my 20s and 30s are too broken to play now in our 40s and 50s.
@@russmitchellmovement alright mr serious pants.
Let me help. If you don't give yourself time to heal you will be forced to only practice smallsword for the rest of your life. Is that what you want?
You're welcome.
