I actually competed in my first bjj competition one month after I broke it (fool-hardy but I have already paid for the flight tix). Cool thing was that instead of the traditional gi chokes, my coach and other seniors showed some variation of the chokes which I could apply without straining the injuries. I think it was the first time I learnt "adaptive" bjj.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790324623702062987.post-64256334123121060222011-06-25T00:02:07.370-04:002011-06-25T00:02:07.370-04:00Surprisingly, not getting put into chokes is my ge...Surprisingly, not getting put into chokes is my general goal.... Buuuuut it never seems to quite work for me. lol<br /><br />My other major disadvantage is that I can't really attack one-handedly so I have to play the waiting game, and defend... which means I generally pull guard and triangle... or I have a hard to retaining guard because I can't grip squat.<br /><br />I have been in turtle more than normal, and I don't really know a whole ton of stuff to do from there.... especially with my gimped hand.Jiujitsunistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041502171382772751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790324623702062987.post-81272001681751678882011-06-24T20:39:42.581-04:002011-06-24T20:39:42.581-04:00This may be a stupid comment.

Instead of working on defending chokes, work on not getting into them. :)<br /><br />And instead of working gi chokes, work on position. A buddy of mine would work on one position per month. One month it was back control, both front and back, so he would let people take his back and defend. But a lot of that month was him not even going for easy stuff from other positions, and deliberately rolling, repositioning, to where he could take someone's back no problem.<br /><br />Just a thought. :)Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331257882063185349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790324623702062987.post-8736928204810728872011-06-24T12:42:41.407-04:002011-06-24T12:42:41.407-04:00That IS super annoying.

That's a weird bone to have to heal. You can't have a cast. So if it heals wrong because it gets injured further, it could be a pain in the butt to deal with. BE CAREFUL FRIEND! lolA.D.
