3 Stupid Martial Arts Injuries You Can Avoid
- 6 years ago
Some martial arts injuries are unavoidable, but other injuries are just plain stupid! In this video, I discuss three stupid martial arts injuries and how to avoid them.
Stupid Injury #1: Spraining or jamming your fingers.
Yes, Bruce Lee looks cool jumping around, flashing his fingers. But in a real fight, that’s just stupid.
When it comes to protecting your fingers, don’t get cocky. Follow this rule instead: cup your fingers until you need them.
Stupid Injury #2: Breaking or dislocating your jaw.
Like your fingers, your jaw is delicate. Even a light hit might force you to eat soup for a month. The bottom line—the only reasons your mouth should be open during a fight are if you’re biting, screaming, talking trash, or gasping for air.
So, if you train with a mouthguard, bite down on it. If you don't train with a mouthguard, bite down anyway. Bite with just enough pressure so your jaw has a chance of staying in place if you take a hit.
Stupid Injury #3: Tearing your knees and spraining your ankles.
When you grab someone who refuses to move, they freeze up. When their body keeps moving but their legs stay put, they wind up tearing a knee or spraining an ankle.
How do you avoid freezing up and getting stuck? Stay on the move. Go with the flow. Give up a little ground now so you won’t end up on the ground later.
That's it! Three stupid martial arts injuries you can avoid. Train safely, my friends!
