Default are so many injuries common?

I have been doing Bjj for almost two years,kickboxing and boxing on and off for about a year. That is not includeing months of time i have taken off. I have in the last six months also been training vale tudo. I have loved training but continue to sustain various injuries. The crazy thing is i never experianced any injuries in compitition only in training(training ju-jitsu ).Three broken ribs, I broke my Anterior fibula twice in the last year(that is the back part of the major bone that runs from your shin to your anlkle foot).I love mixed Martial arts,both for training and to watch. But I have another life too:wife,kids,school,work. Do i sacrifice a part of my life that i love so much and ensure that i can live a relitively normal life(as in not a quadrepligic) or do i do what i love and throw my familys financial and emotional security down the drain. I opt for the latter as my children are my world....but is their another option ? all feed back is greatly appreciated. sorry for the spell errors if any
