Moving on
I quit capoeira on Tuesday. It was a difficult decision, and I spent a couple of weeks thinking about it and discussing it with otterkin. What it comes down to is that I can't continue to punish my body this intensely and *not* injure myself seriously; my left shoulder's been wonky for over a week - since my last training session - and the week before ( Read more... ) -
