28 Jun ANTOÑI LUQUE (50 years old)

THE MOOD OF MY SENSEI WAS CRUCIAL TO START FOR-KARATE WITH FIBROMYALGIA, HERNIA DISCAL…

✳️ When our friend Antoñi decides to send us a brief story of herself in relation to Karate, she surprises in addition to her energy, a phrase that says naturally: “I live with pain 24 hours a day but thanks to Karate is much more bearable”.

A mother who receives 100% support from her family and the Master who encouraged her, make her story of #karate #parakarate #karateisparakarate #parakarateiskarate #karateisforeveryone

FIBROMYALGIA AND KARATE DISCIPLINES

My name is Antoñi Luque, I am 50 years old, I am from Marchena (Seville) and green karate belt at The Shotoyama Club.

Karate is one of the disciplines I’ve always liked, but it took me eight years to decide to practice it because of my illness. With Fibromyalgia I did not dare and therefore practiced maintenance gymnastics and for six years I did Yoga.
I watched my son train and he always said, “If it wasn’t for this disease I’d be on the tatami.”

ENCOURAGEMENT, STRENGTH AND SUPPORT TO BEGIN THIS ADVENTURE

In 2014 I started thanks to my Sensei Manuel Serralbo who gave me encouragement and strength for it. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to practice karate, and although I have ernia disc, the four torn meniscus and osteoperosis, I’ve achieved my goal, to stop my illness.

I’m currently a green belt. Days ago we finished this season and now it’s time to train, but in the water, and in September I re-incorporate until my body endures***

Antoñi has a blog where, despite telling us that he is not up to date, he shares a lot of interesting information about his illness as well as courses and championships in which he has participated.
