I know if i cant get a submission i want then i get a little antsy, so even though you didnt hit a SPECIFIC escape, you shouldnt discredit yourself, because noone ever really relies on singular techniques to get anything done. I am always using one escape to get to another escape to get to another and then finally escaping.<br /><br />Its seems like your making good progress allie!Junior Familiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208813320030172862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-62471501546728480042010-07-11T13:20:51.098-07:002010-07-11T13:20:51.098-07:00It's probably a good thing you gave her a real...It's probably a good thing you gave her a realistic perspective of what's going on when rolling with higher belts. It probably gives her a more clear perspective on the difference in skill levels between different belts. <br /><br />I'm in the same shoulder-boat as you. A couple weeks ago, we were warming up before technique. I came out of a foward roll (huge problem area for me) and the head instructor says to me, "you just broke your shoulder". I rolled again. "You broke it again." <br /><br />I think they're starting to take a toll because I'm having shooting pains whenever I move it certain ways.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229873505463921052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-87664600774858955562010-07-10T19:23:53.677-07:002010-07-10T19:23:53.677-07:00I always tend to shy away from using "electro...I always tend to shy away from using "electroshock" and "self treatment" in the same sentence. Just me.<br /><br />I'm not a certified physio, but with my limited knowledge, the short version is you have three options:<br /><br />1. Ignore it. Ice it, keep rolling, and hope it doesn't get any worse.<br /><br />2. Rest. I know what you think of this option, because I know what I think of this option. :) But in reality, it's probably the best thing you can do if you're to the point of icing every night.<br /><br />3. See a doc. If the doc says self-treat with electroshock, I'll send you a crisp $100 bill. I swear.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331257882063185349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-89850028066364012322010-07-10T16:42:16.768-07:002010-07-10T16:42:16.768-07:00The last 30-60 minutes of all our classes are open...The last 30-60 minutes of all our classes are open mat (most classes are 3-3.5 hours long.) We also have 3 specific open mat times 2 or 3 hours long. It's the only time I get a chance to see if I can apply stuff from class. <br /><br />I always hear boys getting medical advice from other boys. I always wonder, why not see a doctor :)Georgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-422476279058917222010-07-10T15:51:02.965-07:002010-07-10T15:51:02.965-07:00We have open mat once a week. it's great to ju...We have open mat once a week. it's great to just have a roll. We usually agree first if we go light or a bit harder. It's also a great time to work on stuff, and many times, people start from specific positions. But mainly, time for fun!<br /><br />Laura is right, see a physio. I had issues with my right shoulder. First some minor damage to the AC joint, then I got a minor tear in my rotator cuff (failed takedown..). Physio did massage, ultrasound and gave me resistance bands to start rehabbing it. I didn't listen to her advice taking time off and paid for it later... Anyway, it's all good these days. But get it checked out by a physio, and later on down the track, consider some remedial massage (back/shoulders) ad you might get referred pain and tightness from the actual source. Good luck!fenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422718635385568842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-51362717102333167302010-07-10T13:13:41.065-07:002010-07-10T13:13:41.065-07:00Oh, that girl sounds like a great cheerleader. Yo...Oh, that girl sounds like a great cheerleader. You've never been to an open mat before? It's my favourite part of training. My gym has 4 open mats a week and I attend them all.<br /><br />For the shoulder, see a physiotherapist. They'll help more than a doctor. Your shoulder is likely sore due to muscular imbalance and a physio can fix it. They might even use the electo-pad thingie (mine did). And of course, the sooner you start working on it the faster it will get better.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14399415490110952091noreply@blogger.com
