JumpDaddy Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Last night I practiced falls, rolls and tumbles for the first time. During the practice I began feeling nauseous (I didn't let on, though, and finished the practice). I had eaten a garlic pasta dinner only an hour before. But today at noon my stomach still feels funny...is this normal, do rolls take that much of a toll? I'm a normal, healthy fellow with no medical problems and take no medication.
SBN Doug Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Better check the dinner. No, falling/rolling shouldn't take that much out of you. Sure, you can get nauseous from the spinning and rolling, especially if you're doing a lot and haven't got down the technique of focusing on a point. However, the feeling should leave as quick as getting off a really fast spinning carnival ride. Unless you were thinking back through the feeling of rolling, and that triggered your brain to the dizzy feeling again. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
karatekid1975 Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 I usually don't eat heavy meals like that no less than two hours before class. Specially Judo. But in TKD, we do intense warm-ups, so there is the same. But if that's not a problem, it might because you are just not used to rolls and stuff. Before going into a roll, focus on a point somewhere ahead of you (another student, something on the wall, ect). Do the roll then pop your eyes back on that point. This helped me when I did it at first. Then I got used to it. I hope this helps Laurie F
KickChick Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Last night I practiced falls, rolls and tumbles for the first time. ..... But today at noon my stomach still feels funny...is this normal, do rolls take that much of a toll? um... key phrase up there! FIRST TIME ... you'll get used to it ...(or rather your stomach will get used to it. Suggestion: Maybe curb the garlic until after class ... I'm sure your fellow students will thank me for suggesting that one to you! Other than that .... did you rule out garlic poisoning??? Just kidding! You may have just jostled your insides a bit ... something you're not quite used to yet... and may never get used to. Lets see what happens next time!
ZeRo Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 yeah when you first start you get bashed about abit, but you will get used to it. keep on trying and good luck.
niel0092 Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 I cant eat before class either. Makes me quesey "Jita Kyoei" Mutual Benefit and Welfare
SaiFightsMS Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 I am going to move this to health and fitness and see if more people will see it.
ZeRo Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 yeah i hate when you drink before/during class and you can feel and hear it slooshing around inside your stomach.
karatekid1975 Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 I can't eat "heavy" meals before class, but I can have a cereal bar or something like that. I need something for energy, but yet I can't go to McDonalds and eat a burger and fries an hour before class (barf) LOL. Laurie F
SaiFightsMS Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Pizza before class isn't real great either.
