I have been feeling extremely frustrated this last week and a bit because of the situation I find myself in. I did enter the Tiger Challenge in both hand and weapon forms and had been putting a lot of time in to preparing for this. And then I hurt my shoulder and had to withdraw from competing as I cannot even do the opening bow without causing some pain and the bench is a complete no go.
There are other parts that are frustrating as well as I had to modify my push-ups and am now only able to do them against a wall mostly one handed. This is not ideal as I was getting a lot of benefits from doing full push-ups. I know that I am going to lose strength and some core stability but I also need to be smart about this hence the modifications I need to make. My push-up numbers now have an asterisk’s beside them however.
I am still practicing my hand form, but the hand motions have to be slow and controlled and stay closer to my body to prevent aggravating my shoulder. I am able to do the footwork with my weapon form but there is no weapon involved. All my other requirements are still being done with maybe some minor modifications here and there.
I have a doctors appointment on Thursday and we will see where I go after that.
