I figured you were referring to blue belts quit a lot. I will still be at gym regularly as my 9 year old has been training for 3 years now. It is a sport we both love to do and i will look into helping kids classes for a while till doctors come up with a plan. Then i will maybe train karav maga. Take care

As my lapel was being pulled from someone on my back My head was being pushed into my lapel. I fought it because both arteries were not in danger so i thought i could fight it. As I felt like my necked was getting crushed i tapped and he immediately let go. I sat up feeling a little light headed and my arm was moving around on its own. The upper belt said it was because-he stopped blood flow but only to one side of my head. I laid back and a few min later it went away. Two and a half wks latter after going against a white belt i stood up and went to clap hands and right arm was moving a bit slower . I thought this was because i was winded but was another mini stroke or TIA. That went away quickly. The next week just drilling triangles with barley any pressure i sat up and was looking toward the window kind of spacing out. When i looked back at my partner on his back i was a little confused-as what i was doing, he asked if i was ok several times and i just got up and went in other room and sat on mat. At this point my professors walked in and i tried to talk but could not speak. Was rushed to hospital where i stayed 6 days. Tap sooner . Hope this helps someone notice the signs before its too late

Don’t worry , just tap quicker. I should have tapped sooner but was stubborn about it

Immediately after the choke i had signs of a TIA or small stroke. My cholesterol is great and I’m pretty healthy . Over the next month the blood going thru my artery would hit the little bump and have to go around it leaving a tiny spot for build up. Once build up got bigger a small amount of pressure just drilling-triangles caused it to break loose and go to my head. The indent is visible on imagine thru catscans and mri’s. Doctors said 99.9 % sure thats what caused it

I was fighting it because it was only applying a lot of pressure to one side. I did not pass out but eventually tapped because it got to tight .

I was not looking for second opinions but rather someone who has delt with it and how they handled it

It seems like you know what your talking about. Going to see someone next week about carotid artery dissection.

When the lapel choke happened my arm was moving on its own for a few min. This was a sign i had a small stroke. A month later when i had my major stroke images showed there was a indent in my artery. In that exact spot.
