Luther unleashed Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm 36, iv broken knuckle doing a board break, torn a thigh muscle (likely dehydrated that day big time), iv reinjured a previously broken toe, and more recently I overextended my shoulder and seemingly tore something. My point is simply that I break easier now then at 26, you have to listen to your body. Also take time to rest and don't take too long to get aback to it. Keep the muscles around the injuries strong! Just so e advice from my experiences! Hustle and hard work are a substitute for talent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaine Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Also take time to rest and don't take too long to get aback to it. Keep the muscles around the injuries strong!Solid advice! I've said it before, taking care of ALL of your body is important. The more exercises (outside of karate, such as weight training) you do the less prone to injury you will be as long as you're doing those exercises responsibly (taking 100 lbs to do arm curls on your first day is not responsible). Take care of your body, and your body will take care of you. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Good comments all. Thankfully I do train a lot outside of the Dojo. I taped the toe last session but as soon as I started kata it came off. I'll maybe try something else (I used padded tape designed for sprains). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM18 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Beyond the usual and to expected bruises and bust lip and odd bust nose. The major repeat injury for me is broken toes and metatarsals from sparring and pad/bag work.Any tips from recovering from Toe injuries? I thought my big toe was just bruises etc but Im suspecting worse at the moment. Still slightly swollen after two weeks and while I can bend it back ok, not so much forward and can be painful to the touch.Im still training but in sparring Im not using that leg at the moment. Prob going to get an xray just to be sure but looking to see how help it along. Im guessing just time and keeping it safe.I'm always hurting my toes! Big toe especially. I had 3 sprained toes that go a nice color purple.Tape them up well but if it really hurts leave training. i didn't and i ended up with Sesamoiditis:http://foot.com/site/foot-conditions/sesamoiditisThat hurts like hell.Generally the gold rule on R.I.C.E works (rest, Ice, compression, elevation)Sparring seems to be when it's most likely to injure a toe so check foot guards fit well too. That which does not kill us, must have missed us.- Miowara Tomoka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
