Theme of the Week: Spine

This week we’ll be looking back… or rather at our backs. Almost everyone who has trained for a while has had a back injury. Even those who haven’t know how not fun back injuries are. This week we’ll look at how to safely use our backs in martial arts and how to keep our backs healthy through a variety of stretches, strengthening moves and posture work.

Also, swinging around axes and swords is fun. We’ve got them, so we might as well use them.
