I have been having trouble with my knee for a few days now.
I've had trouble with it since I was a teenager, so I am not surprised.
Certain moves in the form are twisting my knee out of alignment. Some of it is me not opening my foot properly before a turning move, and a few points are my feet sticking to the floor too much.
I've discussed it with the head instructor, and I will be focusing 90% on my footwork until I am able to work through this. I also will be wearing socks to reduce friction when I have to rotate my weight-bearing foot.
I really don't mind if this slows me down. Better to get it worked out properly and committed to muscle memory, rather than to do damage to my ability to move.
Inch by inch, so be it.
With respect, thank you for reading.
Thank you to the teachers and students who have gone before me.
Keep moving.
Dan
