I've been training for 2 years now and going to 8 classes a week (sometimes more) for the past 6 months and thankfully, I have zero injuries. Worst thing that's happened is a sprained thumb but it's back to 100% now.
4 years injury free for the most part. One tore up groin muscle is about it.
I'm never injury free, just keep rolling till something falls off
My attitude is better to have injuries from training a self defense legitimate combat sport vs not training a combat sport and being in a life or death physical altercation situation unprepared. That's a little simplified, but you get the point.Quote:

I am sore all the time, especially both shoulders and adductors.Quote:
