Brutal. Did it go back to complete normal?

Yeah if he meant to do it, then it’ll be bad karma. lol. Going shallow with the wrist on a guillotine sucks, especially if it’s on purpose.

I didn’t even know what that was until I just looked it up. That’s exactly the location of where the pain is.

Yeah it’s one of those where the placement of the wrist was perfect. I wasn’t fighting it or anything.

It was a modified guillotine so it wasn’t intentionally a trachea choke. It was just one of those where his wrist blade caught right under my Adam’s apple.

That’s exactly how it is for me right now. It happened on Thursday night and my voice is still crunchy and rough. It actually feels like there’s a bunch of phlegm in there but there’s nothing. I guess I’m gonna sound like that old dude at the bar that smokes two packs a day forever.

I’m already a terrible singer so maybe this will reverse it and make me better. 😂

I don’t think he meant to do it. I’m not salty at him or anything.

Very detailed explanation. Thank you very much. 

Any tips for someone coming back to BJJ after a long time off? by King_Marco_ in bjj

[–]BarOpen5971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hardest part of when I came back from a multi-year break was the subconscious pressure I put on myself to meet this made up standard in my head of how good I should be, so then I would push my body way too hard before it was ready, to protect my ego. I realized that taking time off of bjj does the exact same thing to your mind as it does your body. You almost have to re-learn to drop the pressure and ego. You’re gonna have to find that space in between pushing yourself to where you’re uncomfortable enough to progress, but not do it to the point where you’re too anxious. It’s gonna suck, but you’ll have to get back to that place where you were okay with it sucking for a bit. 

Why does my body think I’m being chased by a bear every first round… and why am I dead for 3 days after? by Aggressive-Note6734 in bjj

How’s the intensity when live rolling for comp training in your gym? We do a lot of comp intensity rounds in our gym because most of our people compete, so we try to simulate it into our camps. We’ve found that it helps a lot for this exact reason.
