It will happen, no matter how you might try and reduce the risk any sport that lets you punch, kick, squeeze and crank another person... risk is always involved and you will pick up injuries.

I am currently another week away from been able to spar and reflecting on my time I have spent this last 2 weeks could have been used it much better than sulking and feeling sorry for my self.

It is always easier to look for ways out than ways around ... and sadly I took the way out.

So what could I have done.... well loads it was only my eye was cut, I could have Ran, lift weights, pad work any thing that didn't involve getting hit or wrestled. But even if it was my ankle I could have worked weights, stretch my top half ... any thing that did not put pressure on my legs.

So unlike me work around the problem areas.
