sensei8 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 My first serious injury...pulled groin muscle as a JBB!! Haven't done that since. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizentai Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I've only ever had one serious karate injury: one punch to the abdomen during my nidan exam that resulted in 3 epigastric hernias. My track record outside of the dojo is a lot worse though: broken nose from fainting in church, fractured wrist from a bike accident, mild concussion from tripping on a fiberglass character in an amusement park, etc.I'm a lot less clumsy since I started training 14 years ago.

Should I say congrats on going through that rite of passage? Lol. I'm glad to hear it doesn't sound too bad at least!Lol ...

ShoriKid Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Reading this thread is like going through a check list of my training. Others have said it and I'll back it up. You are taking part in a physical activity, for many well past what is considered "athletic prime", ie. 17-25 or 30 if you are lucky. Your training bag should have anti-inflamatories (however you spell aleve...), tape, a few bandaids, instant ice packs, water. Common injuries have pretty much all been covered here. I get to check a lot of those boxes off myself. And I can't reiterate how important recovery and rest can be when you have been hurt/injured. That doesn't mean you can't train, but you have to understand the limitations an injury puts on you and train appropriately. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.
