pittbullJudoka Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I've seen this topic on another forum but thought I would start it here. What is the worst injury or injuries you've recieved while training in martial arts. Your style does not matter on this one. Also explain how/ what caused the injury. Have fun with this one.

blackxpress Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Only one, really. Tore a tendon in my elbow doing knuckle pushups. Very painful, took a long time to heal. I wouldn't recommend it.
Treebranch Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Popped a rib in BJJ. The guy had my back and was going for a choke. I was wiggling my way out when the instructor started to coach him. So I became complient and alwayed him to stretch me and all of a sudden my rib popped. It hurt really bad for a month or so.

Kieran-Lilith Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Tore a tendon in my right elbow. Original injury came from falling off a sled wrong, but needless to say, months of joint locks did the trick and made it go from sore to torn.I agree with blackxpress. It's very painful, and I wouldn't recommend it, either. Not to mention it takes FOREVER to heal...

ShoriKid Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Bruised or cracked ribs from a punch I caught during sparing. About three or four weeks after the hit I was still wincing at impacts...on the other side of my chest. Did something to an elbow once while I was an uke for a throw. I can neither confirm or deny if it was serious. All I know is it pops and cracks still and if someone starts to bar it out while rolling, I tap fast rather than fight it.Other than the odd assortment of jammed or broken toes and fingers, blacked eyes, swollen lips and tweaked backs that was the hardest to deal with.

NewEnglands_KyoSa Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 this is a good one. so one week, i was talking about how i have never seemed to recieve and injury from martial arts, and i was explaining to a parent how avid i am in the martial arts, and no injuries have become of it. so the next week im doing and endurance drill(50 jump front kicks in 30 seconds) that i have done literally hundreds of times successfully before. on the FIRST jump front kick, i immediately notice i cannot get my footing under me and that somethings wrong, so i landed on the outside ankle of my left foot, and SNAP! there goes my entire ligament, gone. in little, tiny, completely unsavlagable pieces. so it's safe to say, im getting surgery in april. not fun.
