The continuing saga of mfb's aches and pains: I've started taking kung fu classes, and one of the truths that is making itself apparent is the dichotomy between intellectual understanding and kinesthetic understanding. A completely hypothetical example that has nothing to do with the way I've been popping ibuprofen all day: it's one thing to say that you shouldn't fully extend your arm when you swing a long punch, and another feel your elbow popping and grinding while you type a blog entry the next day.

Sunday I decided to do something I haven't in a while-- shadowbox with free weights. Now, I tend to have no problem doing in the neighborhood of fifty knuckle push-ups, I feel a little soreness in the muscles when I'm on my routine, sure, which is how you know it works. The free weights... not such a great idea. I threw a right cross that swung my rosary so hard it pulled the cross out of the cheap piece of shit. I still haven't found it. And I'm still in pain three days later. But I have to keep practicing. The thought of your actual kung-fu and your internet-fu being honed is terrifying.
