Hey guys just wondering how common is it that people rolling get a hand to the throat or an elbow or maybe ure opponents forearm to the throat? It freaks the shit out of me wen i roll cuz itd hsppened to me b4 i dont wanna get my trachea crushed by getting hit so hard or having it swell up from getting hit
Plz help!!
Not common at all, You shure do have a lot of strange off the wall questions. You might want to choose a different sport, how about Ping Pong the only thing you got to worry about is tennis elbow.
sounds like someone is trying to injure you , i had some people try to injure me at times , got to learn the defenses against the arm/elbow in the throat and escapes ,hand fights etc. when they take your back
you real only have to worrie about someone impacting your throat to crush it because i use a forearm choke setup all the time and never hurt any one.

Ask the people at your gym how many times its happened to them. Learn to defend and turn the right direction and you'll be fine. Oh, and thats what tapping is for.
you can get tennis elbow in jiu jitsu from armbars.. trust me.it has happend to me beforeQuote:

Forearms across the trach happen all the time in gi. There are a few gi chokes that result in it, but it's also a good way to control a guy and/or make them uncomfortable to allow you to do things.
When Eddie was here for a seminar a few years ago he named digging your elbow into the throat "the kazoo". From the mount, you dig your elbow into the base of the jaw/throat to get your opponent's elbows up and facilitate the transition to Gansta Lean. It works really well too. ;)
my injuries from jiu jitsu, broken toes, popped both elbows (now i have tennis elbow), torn shoulder (its never been the same), popped throat (the scariest injury for me, but its all healed now), cranked neck (to the point were when i woke up i couldnt turn my head), dislocated collar bone and rib in my back (the most painful of my injuries. it was from working for a throw on a bigger guy and both of us go down and i got the worst end of it) and finally a broken nose.
thats about it, but i still love the sport and even got my son involved.
if you cant risk getting hurt, i would do tai chi or something :)
cool video
Thats what i worry about like if they accidentally elbow your throat and say it doesnt crush your trachea but swells the muscles up
maybe against some spaz white belt try to roll with more people that have experience there less likely to hurt you and you will learn more.Quote:

Dude you need to chill out, it seems like you're constantly freaking out about one thing or another. Just take a deep breath and relax.
pull his arm into your trachea until his arm breaks off then hit him with it.
I'll second that. What happens if a guy torques my neck with a Twister? What happens if my arm is stuck and I can't tap to a d'arce? What happens if an NCAA div I wrestler folds me like warm laundry?Quote:

You CANNOT prepare for every eventuality. There are a nearly infinite number of set-ups, sweeps, and submissions. That's why we all agree on one very fundamental rule: tap out. If you find yourself panicking because you feel in danger of injury, tap. Ask what happened, learn, lather, rinse, repeat. If it hurts, tap. If you're getting dizzy and the lights are dimmer than they were a second ago, tap. You are GOING to get schooled by most partners early on. You are GOING to get injured in some way at some point; that's just a fact of sports in general. Tiger Woods had surgery on his elbow from GOLF. I knew a girl who had reconstructive surgery on her ankle from KICKBALL. Don't expect to train jiu jitsu with any degree of dedication and consistency and not come away with some aches, pains, and injuries. Don't worry so much and just go have fun. If you can't, jiu jitsu might not be the sport for you.
YOu can be brutally mamed in Tai Chi, .. it just takes forever.Quote:

Also, you are going to get hurt period. Especially if you are training in a gym where people are trying to get better and some are competing. This is not due to the fact that they are trying to hurt each other, it's just the harder yo train the more injuries occur. It is the name of the game. You dying due to an injury in a jiujitsu rolling session is very very low, however it is possible, just like it is possible for you to choke on popcorn and die while watching a movie. As an example, my lower back got messed up 3 weeks ago. I could not train since then and missed about a week worth of school on top not being able to concentrate to study for my exams because of the pain. I never even thought about maybe I should have not done jiujitsu so this would have not happened. I am just anxious to get better so I can get back on the mat.
It's happened in Tai Chi once, it'll happen again.Quote:

Is it me, or did they just throw some duct tape on half a Batman costume and a Barney the Dinosaur head?Quote:
