Last night, my instructor was teaching advanced Chin-na techniques.

For those of you, who don't know what Chin-na is...it's joint-locking, twisting, and general nastiness(with a Chinese flavour). The principles involved are also used for healing, as with Tui-na.
When I was training in Taiwan, I was partnered with this little bloke originally from the mainland, and he could apply Chin-na techniques amazingly well, without doing any damage. Which is what you want.

Yesterdays lesson left me partnered with a real knobhead, that I've had difficulty with on numerous occasions. Far too gung-ho. All we wants to do is kick arse. In the end I asked him very nicely to calm down, which he duly did.
Then he started fucking using REAL joint locks on me. The proper stuff. I was just about to tell him to go easy, when he heaved back on my arm....and pop. Out came my shoulder. I cannot begin to explain the pain. The last time this happened, I was 24, and it was exactly the same thing. Some gung-ho dickhead ripped my shoulder out for no good reason.
I fell down like a sack of shit, my Sifu had to pop my shoulder back in, and the lesson was cut short...therefore, everybody suffered. This guy now has a three month ban, which is some consolation, but it's taken me nearly ten years of natural healing, chi-gung therapy and acupuncture to get my shoulder back to how it should be, and now it seems I'm back to square one.

And it's strapped up and fucking sore.

What an idiot.

I'm not a happy man.
