Bon Posted August 13, 2002 Posted August 13, 2002 I don't get 'banged' up any more in jiu jitsu, we always we tap out before we get hurt. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

Martial_Artist Posted August 13, 2002 Posted August 13, 2002 I don't get banged up any more, but I have had my list of injuries. Here are some major ones(from training. In an actual fight I have not been injured yet) A spear wound to left lower abdomen. (I grabbed it and stopped it from goin all the way through me, luckily it didn't go too deep and wasn't a very thick spear. I have the 2" scar still.) A sword wound to the hand. A seriously bruised forearm(I blocked a flailing nunchaku with it, it was sore for about 4 days) A broken nose. Iron bar to chin scar. A minor stab wound to the hand from a knife. A bolo(filipino machete) cut to the shin, to the bone. (nice scar) A plethora of spranged joints in the hands. Never a spranged ankle. Tons of bruises and bumps from bo, boken, shinai, nunchaku. Along with all the blood blisters one could desire. I acquired all these wounds training in my youth. Luckily all of them have healed and I am fine now. Aside from the scars you wouldn't be able to tell I got quite the reality training. The advantage now being, I have a very high tolerance for pain. I had a chunk of skin cut out of my foot while in the Philippines, it was stitched back. The chunk was 1'' x 1'' from the heel. There was no anesthetic. He just cut into me and sewed me up. It hurt, but I sat up to watch him to make sure he did it correctly, then walked away on it. I was training a few days later. (I was in the provinces of the Philippines I needed to be prepared). When training now, though, the only injuries sustained are minor bruises and bumps. Nothing serious.
