Well, this injury could've happened to anyone, no matter what their state of fitness. I was roughhousing, and ended up having a bunch of weight (namely the rest of me) come down on the back of my neck. One of those stupid things. Doh!
As for the pull in my SI joint, well, I'm still trying to figure out why that happened. I am meticulous about my technique, and I don't work the same major muscle groups without 48 hours rest, so I don't think it's a matter of overfatigue. Could be just bum luck.
I was far more active in my kung fu days about six years ago. Back then, I did HARD kung fu training a minimum of twice a week, plus taught fitness classes, dance classes, and did weight training, dance training, and yoga several times a week. I also studied other martial arts styles off and on throughout the week. I'm feeling much more sedentary, nowadays. I think I generally eat better now than I did then, though.
