Thanx for all the feedback. My initial injury of elbow and shoulder happened so fast. The guy torqued my arm too fast and didnt ease into it. I tapped as soon as i had felt pressure. I think part of the problem is that im the new guy and everyone else has been with it about a year. There is no way they are gonna let a new guy tap them out. Some people go all out when rolling , like they are fighting for their lives, i usually try to slow down the roll to try to gain technique instead of a strength battle. When rolling with a blue belt or the instructor , who is purple, they apply techniques slowly. Does anyone have any ear bruising? I hope i dont have to resort to ear protectors.
