Rich67 Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I was just curious, aside from the obligatory bumps, bruises and stitches, has anyone received a bad injury (meaning took you out of the loop for a few months) from martial arts training? I tore my ACL and MCL once, and that pretty much took me out of commision for months. That was during my Kung Fu San Soo days. What style were you involved in, and what injury did you receive?

Treebranch Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I've had both elbows hyperextended. It's been about 2 years for the right and 6 months for the left and they still bother me. Budo Taijutsu. Hey by the way Rich, how did you like San Soo? I don't think that many people really know what it is. To me it's still ranks the most brutle style I've seen so far.

Rich67 Posted January 1, 2004 Author Posted January 1, 2004 It was awesome. Unfortunately, I was injured while I was just getting into it (2 years). I then moved from California and haven't got into it here in Florida. It's definitely a very practical art for the street. It taught me to turn the tables in a fight and become the aggressor, even if I was caught off guard. That in and of itself is something a lot of styles don't preach; they want you to go on the defensive and counter attack. Hyperextended elbows... ohh man that makes me cringe. Mixed Martial Artist
