Graceful as usual

So, I mentioned I started doing cardio box again. What I didn't mention is that our trainer is batshit crazy, but in a good way: today, for instance, he made us practice jumping roundhouse kicks. Which was very cool and badass, but I'm an idiot and did something wrong when I landed and now my right knee doesn't feel quite right. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Also, I'm glad the worst part of the week is over, we wrap up the magazine on Thursday and this week was CRAZY: I wrote 5 articles in 3 days and today something happened at the very last moment, so when I went home, a couple of pages weren't ready yet (and when I say "Something happened", I mean "OMG I don't know if we still have a mayor". I'm just so glad I'm not in charge of the local politics pages.)

Last year I slipped (without any grace, in the middle of a packed shop, responsible was a piece of unidentified vegetable) and crashed on my right knee, it was fine again after four months. I hope yours will be better much quicker.

Roundhouse kicks look good but I'm more effective with front kicks. Must have something to do with me being without any sense of balance. XD

Oh, man, I'm sorry about that. =/ Well, I didn't actually fall on my knee, I just didn't bend it enough when I landed, so hopefully it's nothing serious.

And, well, cardio box isn't really about being effective, it's more about using kickboxing moves to exercise. And jumping roundhouse kicks look extremely badass. XD

Thanks. The knee bothered me for a very long time but the humiliation at Edeka was almost worse. XD

I can't rec any treatment, nothing worked besides patience. Ice felt nice but it didn't help for long.

Tell him to show you this one next: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9Nv6EaMkz0
Looks even better. I don't hit anything which is higher than my shoulder with it. I'm too old and stiff. XD

WTF, no, I will NOT give him ideas, he's already crazy enough. XD

Any kind of martial arts instructor is always crazy. Why is that? Too many bad movies during their childhood? XD
