I was actually doing a very ridiculous warmup exercise called "shrimping" more than the real martial arts part 😬

My body is a rotating queue of pain and injury, mostly because I'm old. The last one was a torn ligament in the middle finger while training eye gouging. Let's say I crossed that technique out of my list of options.

How the hell did you manage to break a toe by shrimping? I cann... Ok, I see it.

Sir, shrimping is a fundamental form of movement in our art and must be done with grace.

The reason I always, always, always wear slippers around the house, even in hot weather, isn't because I'm an old fuddy duddy, but because about once a month I bang the edge of my foot against a table leg or door frame and realize "that would have been a broken toe for sure!" 😅

Yes I know, but I am really bad about it in warm months.

I used to be - until I broke my pinky toe 🤣

And look at you, you’ve not stopped walking around the house, a hero

Very kind of you to think so.
