Pain

Lastly, it is important to persist with your efforts at recovery and to be patient. Remember, it takes time for your body to recover. Depending on the injury and your age, recovery may take anywhere from a couple of weeks to many months.

If it becomes necessary to take few weeks away from training, then do so, but  stay involved with your school by going to all the events and giving other students you support. If you are able, practice breathing exercises. Go through your patterns in your head.

Overcoming obstacles is a fundamental part of the challenge of learning Taekwondo. Recovering from an injury will make you a stronger Taekwondo student both mentally and physically. Pain is a part of life; pain is a part of martial arts training. Deal with it!
