Hey guys. This is my first thread on the WMA forum. I hope it's in the right place.
Today was my birthday, and I chose to still go to train because I felt like it's important to keep training regularly.
I kind of regret it now.
Sanda training went well, I always enjoy it (I know, not Western, but I'll get to it). Than came submission wrestling practice (western, Catch wrestling). I got Grovited (like a headlock, but the face is cross-faced, so it turns into a neck crank) to the point where my feet were no longer touching the ground, but I have a real flexible neck and it didn't hurt so I didn't tap. It still bothers me though, because it was really dangerous. My neck doesn't hurt but, I don't know, maybe I messed it up somehow, like stretched the vertebrae or something. I''m not a doctor so I don't know.
Then I got face-locked, but both my hands were pinned, and my mouth got covered, and it turned into a jaw lock, and I couldn't yell tap. My jaw near my ear popped, and that scared me a little (and hurt like a mother) too.
Last thing that happened, one of my training partners was attempting a single leg, and my foot pointed down or something, and "pop" goes my ankle. I'm thinking, "Holy ****. I just broke my ankle." I think the joint just rolled over each other. (Good thing I'm double jointed I guess?) But it hurts pretty bad and, yet again, scared me shitless.
I enjoy Sanda, because it has a lot of traditional wrestling in it, it only goes to a throw like a lot of the traditional wrestling styles, Western styles, but pretty much the world over many styles go to a throw. My coach wanted me to do Catch, and it's right after Sanda class. I don't know what to do. I'm getting better but I get scared shitless when we do neck cranks and heel hooks, stuff that could really **** you up, you know?
If I was really interested in it I would probably be o.k. with the risk, but since I'm mostly interested in the Sanda class, it would suck to get seriously injured by the class I'm not totally into anyways.
I really don't want my coach and the wrestling class guys to think I'm just going to puss out the one time I get actually injured, but I guess that's kind of what's happening.
So, hopefully everyone doesn't think I'm a *****, and they have some ideas to share.
(If the moderaters want to move this to somewhere they feel it would be more appropriate, than please do.)
