To tell you the truth, it sounds to me like you pulled something. Put some ice on, rest up a few days, maybe take an Ibuprofene. Stretch well before practice. It happens. I had a mild groin pull once, it didn't show untill I had sat down for a couple of hours after practice...I have no idea what I did or when, but there it was.
Maybe you can video tape yourself if your instructor can't pinpoint what you are doing... |
ah the instructor, those were the days. i was formally trained. now i train myself. wait does the entire upper body need to be above the supporting foot to support the weight? i ask this because sometimes when i lean my chest is isnt over the eupporting leg and sometimes hangd to the side. yea but i usually was really good pinpointing my own weaknesses and limitations which made me really strong. but sometimes i cant pinpoint it. i dont feel pain at all now and sometimes when i do a right side kick i dont. i feel perhaps when i retract my leg i may be distributing the weight unevenly. so i would like to ask does it matter if the supporting leg is bent or straight as can be. i seen it done both ways but some say bent
