FAI (Femoro-acetabular Impingement) & Karate

My personal experience with FAI and what you should know about this condition

teaching and doing karate again

Day 20:  I lead my annual “JKA Kata Review” seminar this morning.  We went through 27 kata, twice each.  I did not do almost any of the moves as large as they should normally be done and generally took it slow and very careful, particularly on the turns.  None of the jumping kicks, of course.  And actually very few kicks in general.  But I did keep going the whole time without stopping or sitting down and I felt fine.  I know I still have limitations and need to be careful.  But am feeling at this point like maybe I should have my other hip done sooner rather than later, to just have it all out of the way.  Could I have my other hip done in early February, though, and be ready in time for the big seminar series in mid-March and a trip to Japan in April?  Hmmm…
