Big Baby here.

Cracked a rib last night sparring and boy does it hurt!! Hurts to laugh, breath, go up stairs, God forbid I sneeze. Can't even drive my car; clutch and shifting hurt. Having stiff suspension hurts when I hit bumps. I have speed bumps galore in my apartment complex. Sleeping hurts.

Gonna miss tournament next weekend.....maybe.....unless I can figure out a form in my repertoire that does not include rolling, jumping/high kicks, or any up and down movements......of wait....we don't have any my northern style. I'm stuck with Lien Huan.

Never sparring again........................................until I heal at least.

Vicodin oh sweet vicodin, how I love thee.

I need a woman to take care of me. But alas; ain't got no money, hence I ain't got no honey.

wait until you roll over in your sleep.

wait until you roll over in your sleep.

Did that a couple of times last night already. Not good

You'd do better with getting a honey, if you stopped believing you need money to have one.

Quote of the year.

[MasterKiller]

I dislocated a rib 16 months ago. Took about 8 weeks before anything felt normal. I have a permanent knot where it dislocated, and when someone hits it, or I roll on it just right, it smarts pretty good.

I may need to rethink my stand on chest protectors. I am not getting any younger.

[EarthDragon]

instead of contemplating wearing a chest protector, contemplate practicing proper blocking....one does not need protective gear if one cannot be struck.
I understand your thinking however, I always teach my students to look at the cause of the problem not the fix.

Having suffered cracked ribs and torn intercostal muscles, I sympathize with you!
Take it easy, take the time to meditate and focus on healing that up.
good luck and get well!

Yeah, definitely need to block. Or at the very least learn to get the flock outta the way.

big baby cause you got a cracked rip? no shame in complaining of the pain man. the **** hurts! going to be painful for a bit.

and the real question is, how did it happen?

*snip*

and the real question is, how did it happen?

my money is on:

a) shin kick direct to the ribs

b) a throw


If it was a punch, it was super well placed and forcefully executed...or xcakid hasn't had a glass of milk in his life! lol

I was going for a punch, my opponent turned and threw a back kick. Since his leg is longer the my arm (heck his arm is longer than my arm), he connected first.
