White Warlock Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 The mistake of beginners, and intermediates, is to assume free-for-alls are going to teach you something. More than likely, you will become injured, and lose plenty of time for training as you heal. The techniques in many grappling forms, especially judo, are just on the verge of committing serious and permanent damage. If you try to sweep, and your effort is too downward, or the other person's leg is too set, you can dislocate his knee. This causes permanent injury, and there are plenty more techniques/actions that can be committed incorrectly by the inexperienced practitioner... because they don't know what could happen if done wrong, or don't know what to 'feel.' A qualified instructor, maintaining strong vigil in your actions and respected by both participants, is about the only way i would say to go into some form of full-contact activity. If he says, "stop!" then you better do it. Why? Because his experience tells him what your lack-of does not. Something is about to break.
