Kung Fu Knee

Kung Fu Knee

There is nothing remotely common about Kung Fu Knee, however all martial artists, either novice or pros at one or the other part of their career may have suffered from one. Kung Fu knee or “Karate Knee” is the constant soreness or pain experienced by fighters after training or rather uncoordinated training.

Disc Prolapse (Slipped Disc)

Disc Prolapse (Slipped Disc)

A couple of weeks back, I got a call from a gym regarding a female with history of disc prolapse wishing to pursue kick boxing. Well for starters a lot of us aren’t really sure what a disc prolapse is. The basics go down to the spaces in your spine. There are spaces in your spine on which your spine rests, which are composed of discs in between. These discs are made up of cartilaginous…

Whole of the movement is executed around the axis of the spine….

Patch of Honour

Patch of Honour

“Warrior’s patch of honour”, “Don’t mess with the guy with a Cauliflower ear”, well you guessed it right,  I’m referring to the Cauliflower ear, the much glamorized piece of art. Well for starters I would like to agree to the adage.

“It’s just a scratch…”

“It’s just a scratch…”

“It’s just a scratch” blurted out Razzak when pointed out by his coach regarding the discoloration on his thigh. Three days later Razzak was undergoing surgery for drainage of an abscess which had developed in his thigh and involved his leg as well. This is supposedly an event of neglect in a martial arts scenario. Injuries sustained during fight are taken in the “macho” image and not much attention is paid, the result…trivial injuries ending…
