It finally happened. After Jiu-Jitsu last night I felt old.
We were doing a really spectacular technique where the guy on the bottom picks the guy on top with his legs and flips him over and lands on top.
Lot of effort when one is on the bottom, and a hard landing when one is on the top.
I did it all fine, but there are plenty of aches and pains now. Some are over-worked muscles, and some are pains from thump-down landings.
It would be no sweat, except I go again tonight, and tomorrow.
Luckily, tonight it will be low effort, and low impact. I can do that.
At least I think I can.
I am a 68 year old retired teacher living on the west coast of Canada. I spent over 30 years as a student of Karate until my knees stopped liking it. My current passionate activity is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which I've been at for about 13 years.
