Sorry CB, not laughing at you pain, but that last one was funny.
I took a knife to an eye when I was 17. Not a fun night.
what kind of spider were you dealing with?!I've been lucky. My worst injuries were probably my dislocated big toe (which eventually led to the surgery I had a year or two ago), a broken tibia from an altercation with a spider, and a piece of angle iron shoved about 1" into my leg. None left much lasting damage, other than the toe. Some other dislocations along the way (including both ends of a collar bone, at different times), and some sprains bruises and cuts, but those were about as bad as it got, in spite of much MA, rock climbing, soccer, etc.
How are you framing this OP? While training/competing or in life? It would be very beneficial to clarify.
Sorry you went through that. I bet there is a good story about that fight. Care to tell? Still have sight in that eye?
Ninja spider. Read the post: injury catalog? Why do we do what we do....what kind of spider were you dealing with?!
Shattered the bones in my forearm in half learning to skateboard. Needed an operation and had metal rods inserted to keep my forearm straight while it recovered. My vision literally went red and white from the pain.What is the worst injury you've ever had?
I hurt my back at a tire place I worked at picking up a tire. Got a herniated disk. Hurt like hell. Had to have back surgery. Not fun
WOW I've never heard of so.meone having torn their rhomboid muscle! Must have been a really firm pull and the shoulder blade being yanked forward or something... ouchMartial arts 42 years now and the worse injuries I had from that training are: broken nose, separated elbow, dislocated fingers, knee sprains, busted toes and a torn rhomboid muscle in my back. That last sucked the most and took the longest to "heal." Still bugs me from time to time. Also had t to have bone spurs buzzed by scope out of my left shoulder... received via Judo practice I expect. Didn't hurt much, but did require surgical correction.
Got hurt much worse playing basketball... the so-called "non-contact" sport. Whatever. Fractured sternum (from the ball, not somebody's elbow), separated shoulder from having legs taken out while up around the rim, and tore all the outside ligaments in my left ankle at the same time, same instant. PrdadaboPop! The ankle can still bug me.
Freakish thing, you got that right. Judo class, working on "opening (or turning) the turtle," y'll probably know the drill, was working with this bad-assery 3rd dan who probably should have ranked up higher thant hat who was trying to explain to a bunch of dummies, me included that it IS possible to use the throws of judo while kneeling, though some of the modifications "look weird" and stop being... properly-named, I guess I'd call it.WOW I've never heard of so.meone having torn their rhomboid muscle!

Long story short, he exploded into a shoulder throw with me on his back cross-body, he having my left arm as his drag point. Up, over ba-Whump! I felt it in my back instantly. a Very strange direction to fall... I was completely unprepared for it and probably committed the biginner error of tightening up. That'll get ya every time.
