 Injuries in BJJ
Hi, Im been browsing the forums for some time now and finally registered. Im in my second month of BJJ. The first month someone torqued my shoulder and elbow. I had a huge bruise on my elbow and my shoulder hurt for a week and a half. I wrote that injury off and figured maybe I need to be tapping out sooner. I didnt feel as though i should be but i have a high pain tolerance. Well after a month off (due to a vacation and resting my shoulder) im back trying to be more cautious. Last tuesday in class a guy put me in a neck crank that seemed uncomfortable , but not enough to tap. He was persistant and kept cranking. I couldnt get out of it so I tapped out. Well anyways, ive had a sore neck and back for almost a week now. I feel as if ive got whiplash. Also I have bruises behind both my ears from being bent back. Yeah i know , enough complaining already. Just wondering if these injuries are normal, or is it me? |
