I’m an old fart :-)

Yep, that’s right!

I have had some problems with my back the last couple of years and overstretched it during Ju Jitsu practice a couple of months ago. It made me wonder if I should stop practicing Martial Arts entirely.

But luckily one of the guys from the Ju Jitsu Club made me change my mind to change to the Tachi Ryu School of Ju Jitsu where you not throw people but fight standing using kicks, fists, pain points, strangulations and locks. My problem is that I can handle being thrown and also do some of the throws, but I have reached a level where the throws in that higher category are to taxing on my back. So luckily the club has a standing version of self defence I can attend instead.

In that connection I have gotten som training videos and by coincidence started drawing some of the poses the other night, It has been a while since I last did sketching but it was really fun. I find it highly relaxing to sketch stuff even though I have to figth a little drawing hands and feet and getting the proportions right, I guess more practice will make improve that. Highly recommended, it’s an old habit of mine which I intend to do more of in the future 🙂
