As my students know, I dislocated my knee while sparring 2 weeks ago. I was on crutches for a few days, then used a cane for the rest of the time. I had a referral to see a doctor who is a specialist on knee issues and saw him 2 days ago. He was amazed that I hadn's torn my ACL. based on the nature of the event, the swelling and other symptoms he was sure I would need surgery. I was healing very fast however and upon his examination it was determined that the ACL was intact and I was good to go, no surgery. He said that either I was really lucky, or my training regimen saved me. I like to believe it was a bit of both. After 31 years of stance training, and workouts designed to strengthen functionality I wasn't surprised. It wasn't me, I wasn't special. It was the training. Traditional Kung Fu and our circuit workouts improve the body in a way that is very different from bodybuilding. We train our balance, stability and the smaller muscles just as much. Now I just had tangible proof that our training can improve the quality of your life and reduce the need for medical treatments later in life. Preventative medicine at its best, Wuji systems training.
