i haven't injured anyone yet, but i figure it's only a matter of time and that's with me being as considerate and careful as i possibly can be. sorry to do this to you yuns, but in all your years how many guys have you accidentally done some damage to in training?

I've probably injured people because I'm a dumbass whitebelt who forgets to breath and I spaz like a fish out of water. Your insurance rates go up when you roll with me.

I think you haven't gotten a response because there's nothing that any of us can say to you that you don't already know about jits - but I've injured people before, and even though we have informed consent and the assumption of risk in the sport, it doesn't stop us from feeling lovely when we do it.

I've put some people to sleep but to my knowledge never done any joint damage. I'm pretty conservative about that stuff though and have probably lost a lot of possible submissions being too nice.

I had a purple belt not tap to the venerable "You just crossed your feet while on my back" lock, while I had a grip on both of his arms. I didn't jam it on either, I just slowly leveraged downward waiting for him to tap and he just didn't until two or three pops and a "AH gently caress!" later we where helping him off the mat. I felt real lovely even though, I was told not to take it hard because I did it with control and while maybe I should have considered letting the attack go once it started to look gross and he still wasn't tapping it was up to him to tap, especially as a dude whose done this for multiple years. edit: I've since started being really conservative with that lock as I have kinda realized that much like with Slicers, people don't respect the attack so they're more liable to "tough it out" until their ankles break. So I tend to lace my legs over if its available and if it seems like they're gonna fight anyway, I tap and reset. Defenestrategy fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Nov 21, 2018 |

I love this dumb sport so much. Even after 13 years I learn new stuff all the time since the sport is ever evolving. John is back from Asia and he went over a traditional submission but he's retooled the technique and finishing mechanics. I thought I knew it well but the new variant is so good. Sorry for not disclosing details but it's John prerogative to release it in his materials.

What belt color are you? I still struggle a bit with all of it. Like, you guys have helped me realize the importance of not going whole hogg on a dingus who refuses to tap. Like, if I know I have it in I will let go even if there is not a tap now. However, there are holds I still don't quite get the "feel" for and I definitely worry about hurting a dude who won't/doesn't know when to tap

Mel Mudkiper posted:I wonder if it was one of those ego things where he didn't want to tap to a lower belt I really think it's more that the "You crossed your ankles" lock doesn't garner a lot of respect from people who haven't been shown the attack before and I know I'm the only one who ever uses that defense at my gym. It also doesn't help that I'm extremely strong and flexible in the hips so I can probably crank the submission farther than a lot of people.

As a big dude Im actually afraid that I am going to hurt someone inadvertently. Ive struggled with this as a white belt. My coach eventually had to tell me this is Jiu Jitsu and people are going to have to just get used to the fact that bigger people are going to smash them. Now I dont mind actually using my weight even on people that are lighter than me. The people that are much smaller (like some of the women in the gym), I just go light with.Yuns posted:I love this dumb sport so much.

The worst I've ever injured someone personally is a broken sinus, which I posted about it when it happened. It has since become a joke between me and the training partner who I injured. Last night I caught one of our black belts in my bicep slicer sequence and he refused to tap - he got out, but I'm pretty sure his elbow is going to be a bit sore today. (I could tell it wasn't perfect, but it was still enough that I could feel the pressure in my own wrist as I was crushing his arm). I was having visions of this discussion as I squeezed it, right until he dropped a shin on my face.Tacos Al Pastor posted:As a big dude Im actually afraid that I am going to hurt someone inadvertently.

I have had my meniscus sprained due to a heel hook, and I've gotten my other knee tweaked in a toehold. In competition, I've dislocated my ankle, and had my elbow tweaked in an armbar. Add probably a handful of finger issues (around 10 or so), both give and take, during rolling that are no one's fault.

Johnny always in a rash freaks me out Why did the people cross his feet FFS? I know it's ok to do if you have your feet high up enough on the body. Guess that wasn't the case here Split my eyebrow open pretty badly last night while in someone's closed guard. He sat up as I brought my head down, nasty clash for me (he seemed fine)

I had a really satisfying DVD related moment recently. I've had less time to train lately and so have been watching some instructional vids to try to keep my head in the game a bit. One I've spent a lot of time going through is Vagner's 50/50 of the Arms. On Wednesday I made it to class and hit a series Vagner shows (kimura from bottom half -> sweep to 50/50 of the arms -> transition to the back). By the time I got to the back I had forgotten the details of some of the finishes he shows and instead of panicking and trying to force something I could only half-remember, I just went with my go-to armbar off the kimura grip. It was a real good feeling to A) have retained some information of the video and be able to put it into practice in a live rolling scenario without having had a chance to drill it, and B) to be able to weave it in and out of some of my other "normal" game.
