So how many of you train? and how many of you have been injured while rolling? What kind of injuries?

I was rolling on Friday night and fractured one rib, and bruised the surrounding ribs (Percs and Vicadin are treating me well). I never leave the gym without two or three new bruises. Has anyone else fractured a rib? how long did it take to heal?

I have broken 2 ribs in the past (one playing football and the other playing lacrosse) and had to take it easy for about a month both times before I was able to start running around again. What a PITA that type of injury is because everytime you move your body it hurts :(

where do you guys train? I've been looking for something on the east side (I want to train in Krav Maga, but the trip to the westside to make the 6pm training time doesn't work that well for me...) I want to train in someting practical, not a showy style...

Manny,
I train at Serra Ju-Jitsu in East Meadow (on the Island). They received their BJJ Black Belts from Renzo Gracie.


Reefer420,
Have you looked at Renzo Gracies place?(BJJ) They are on the west side. I think they are on 30th and 7th ave or really close to that area.

Broken ribs suck. breathinjg hurts, sneezing is like being stuck with a spear in the side.

Breathing, laughing, sneezing, coughing... Lifting(even my arm), turning, bending, its sucks!

And the only thing they can do, is make you comfortable... yay for drugs!

I did a lot of searching for BJJ places in my area... I am extremely limited. However, Serra happened to be the closest place to me.

I hjave only been going for a month... I am VERY WHITE! but I enjoy it. I'm just pissed this happened!

I've fractured my ribs twice while taking Tae Kwon Do. Same rib both times. The second time around was during allergy season and every time I sneezed I think I made it worse. :headache: Took me 2 monthes to heal the second time and one month the first time. Try to sleep with a pillow as a brace between you and the mattress. It helps to take up the voids and makes breathing at night a bit easier. Get well soon! :flower:
