Knee was very sore yesterday but today it's much better so that's a very good sign. I spent a lot of time yesterday and today so far watching lockdown videos on YouTube

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Drakich: Tendon damage can occur without any significant pain or swelling. Ask me how I know . If the soreness last more than a couple of days you should see an ortho for a function test (and even then that might not tell you anything). I had 5 tears in my right shoulder / bicep and passed every functional exam. Only thing I couldn't do is a pullup (which they don't ask you to do at the ortho). But the pain for progressively worse over a year and eventually I got to the point where I would be sore for a couple of days after rolling. But no intense pain like I ripped something, it felt like muscle strain pain.
Where was he squeezing? Lock down usually "attacks" the calf or ankle as they stretch your legs but it's not really an attack it's usually just uncomfortable and difficult to pass if you haven't been exposed to it. |

I guess the sore knee was a blessing in disguise; professor and a couple students got the flu while I took off to rest my knee.

Our financing is approved its just a matter of time before we’re owners of our own school. Right now we’re just waiting on approval from the leasing company. Which shouldn’t be an issue.

If your instructor doesn't mind, you can still attend and sit on the side and take notes. Keep you in the habit of going... That's the whole thing right there. Been out for short periods of time with labrum tear, knee injuries and various injuries over the years. Always showed back up to class as soon as I could walk or use crutches. Watch. Show up. Good habit to get into if your injured. In general most people push injuries too much. But I think you can work around some of them as long as your ego allows it. |

Probably Cortisone in a couple of weeks. IBJJF tournament in February....gotta get more gold. To hell with my long term health!  |

Just realized now that I've been walking around all day with a black eye and no one said anything. Happened sometime in class last night, but no idea when because we were rolling non-stop for a damn hour so everything is a blur. 🤷♂️
My inner arms got pretty bruised as well but I noticed those right away. |

Super Heavy Master. I'm 4 or 5 and 1 locally ( whatever.. ).
As a white belt (3 stripe) it's gi only with IBJJF. That's fine with me as I'm 51 and need handles to slow the young guys down. This will be the first time competing against guys over 40. Really looking forward to the big show.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By denverdan: Good luck let’s know how it goes. I lost to a no stripe white belt. Twice. So, after I lost the first time I had to comment about his belt status as he was bringing a different game to the mat. He was a collegiate wrestler and wrestled in the Army. 
IBJJF rules state, for a white belt, there are several kinds of experience that precludes you from rolling. One is being a wrestler. I didn't know it at the time and I doubt he did. Don't really care. I don't know the score for fight one, but he only got 2 points to my no points in the second. I did very well and pulled a guard game outta my ass that I didn't know I had. I would have rather moved up a weight class than roll with a wrestler, but I learned a lot. Anyone fence sitting about tournaments needs to nut up and do one. I've done three. I guarantee you, you will learn more in a 5 minute train wreck than in 3 weeks of class.

You can usually tell the prior wrestlers from the way they move and they typically will have a good base wherein most new people seem to fall over when you breath on them

Really good class last night. We quickly drilled a couple submissions from closed guard then rolled for an hour straight, always starting from closed guard.
One guy's only move at passing attempts was drilling his right elbow into my left thigh. It's so damn sore today

That's pretty awesome and hopefully we'll be doing it for years to come. I bought 100 3x3 puzzle mats straight from China. I only needed 12 and will sell the rest. They cost $9.10 from the supplier but are $27 each by the time all the other charges are added on. Still cheaper than Great Mats, but for the money and slow sales I'd pay a little more and buy online. |
