Injury

hey all,man thus sux >:mad you will never guess how i just got injured.remember how i had a topic for biking,well today i went biking,and i wipped out hit the pavement face first. now my are is sprained my knee is messed up and there is a huge cut in my chin. i guess i cant go training for a nice while yet :frowning: ~Did something like this ever happen to you?

I skidded out on a pair of rollerblades on concrete at full speed. I was turning sharply and hit some dirt. My leg and knee and elbow and hands were bloodied badly. >:mad

Who hasn’t? Can you still practice your punching without practicing footwork? If so, maybe you can still train. :slight_smile:

think that will make my chin stronger?? hitting the pavement face first,do you think that will help when i asorb some punches? Lol well the way i looked at it was not to be disappointed but to toughed up 8)

I went over the handlebars of my mountain bike while attempting to go down a steep hill ( I was about 50 at the time). I recovered to train again, so will you. It may just take some time.

also a question i would like to ask about is ever since i wipped out since i landed on my chin,my chin is paininmit feels like the nerves are bruised (dont ask me how).think i should see the doctor about that or juss let it be…

no footwork = no punching… it comes from the floor up Vodka… its not just a case of swinging your arms… :wink:

Unless you’re like Baller27

I raced my bike in a BMX league and I used to do a lot of jumps in skateparks and dirt trails, so I have had my share of falls. Sprained my ankle, fingers, and wrist a couple of times, went face first into rails. Banged my knees real good on the headset and stem area, slipped the pedals… alot, thats painfull. Never broke anything though. So I guess that answers your question, I’ve been in the same situation. It does suck, but you get through it. You will be training again in no time.

I throw my punches and get the power from my shoulders. Is that like Baller27? ???

you can use your shoulders as much as you want but if your feet aren’t right what it your body pushing against when you punch? just the bag :wink:

you try handing from a rope and hitting a pair of pads… tell me what happens :stuck_out_tongue:
