From White to Blue Belt 1 1/2
A couple of days ago I had my first scooter accident in Thailand.
Some idiot put his scooter on my foot. Better said on my toe and kind of ripped off the nail.
While this is not too bad for a first accident it is still painful.
Sadly I was this idiot.....so I can only be mad at myself.
I still tried go to train yesterday but it got painful really quickly so I did just the techniques, tried one round of rolling and had to stop after a minute or so.
Since I use a stampcard atm I am not sure if I will go today again because I do not want to waste the hours I have on it.

We did mostly triangles from the guard. At least this is what I want to remember as we did some fancy versions as well.
It worked pretty well as we practised this a couple of times before. Still during rolling I have problems to land it so actually I am always happy if we repeat something I already practised since usually there is always a detail you can pick up.
Sometimes I am to slow when I grab my own leg and therfore give room to escape. Too slow is not even right as I dont need to hurry this much.
I had to remind me that I often have to adjust the angle to get it tighter.
This I can usually do just grabbing the leg and pull myself in the direction.
If it is this tight I dont even need to pull the head but of course still have the option.
OVerall still a fun session and quite possible the last one for the week if things do not get better.
If you feel so much pain on your foot, it is better not to practice for a certain period of time. If that's okay, you are doing a great job showing up and keep practicing.
If we face any unfavorable situations where we have to fight for self defense, we cannot expect it would be a fair fight. You could have disadvantages.
It's good that you keep practicing! Thank you @flipstar for sharing this. Looking forward to reading your next post!
I ve never seen it like this but makes sense.
I took the rest of the week off but I feel I can go again next week.
Gute Besserung mein Lieber. Resteemed :-)
danke dir
oh we all make such mistakes better shout out loud ;p
hopefully I will not do so many in the near future
The question is...Is this triangle a last resort when you are on your back or are you such a badass that you pull guard so you can get that triangle?
This is the only sort of triangle I'm pulling.
If you are good enough the trinagle is just one of many attacks....I am not good enough though :-)
That is a fine one
Well, if you are immune to ringing in your ears....
My triangle has no effect.
no one is immune to that....I think
I'm sorry for your injury! For those who play sports, even a small accident is a big problem. I wish you a quick recovery
thank you. Will get better soon hopefully
Hey brotha! Sorry to hear you had an injury and can't train properly :/
will pass like the injuries before and the ones to come....still annoying though
thank you :-)

thanks :-)
a lot of people just come by for a week or less and the gym still wants to make money
Hehehehe watchout for yourself next time
Will try my best :-)
Let me guess, you were wearing flipstar-flops?
You watching me?
Yep. Thinking back to all my foot related injuries and i can blame poor choice of footwear on every single one. Barefoot football on a hilly surface = not good for big toe.
not even the dumbest I have done this week. Surprised I am still alive actually
hahahah
An interesting review @flipstar and I hope that your toe will heal quickly and you will return to full-fledged workouts!
I hope so as well
