not to sound mean but what the hell are you doing ? Once you know the guy has you just tap.. you are only training man .. there is no need to see how far you can go before f'ing up your body.. once a guy gets you just tap.. i am in my 2nd month and i haven't had any of those injuries.. Usually once a guy gets an armbar and I know i cant get out i tap. I don't wait for him to apply pressure until i feel pain.. don't wear yourself out.. I mean i have had guys armbar me where i am holding on and they get it and extend quick but i tap as quick as I can.. you know what i mean??

if you keep getting injured you are only going to hurt your training.. I have a few injuries (jammed toes, messed up knee) but i just roll kind of light.. Personally i am hooked on it and the 1st time i jammed my toe i could barely walk.. I missed training for a week and i was soo pist off. My advice is just take it easy and if you get injured take time off to get over it..

I think the worst thing is to traing when you are injured. You have to give your body time to recover. I'm hooked on BJJ though and I am an idiot and traing sometimes when I shouldn't be but thats me. I am not practicing what preach 100%.. Hope this helps
