Stabbed in the Face = Bad (yep learned that already)
Wear Safety Equipment (yawn)
Ice Injuries (holding a pint of ice cream against it counts, right?)
Don't Taunt Your Opponent (don't plan to learn that lesson)
Day 2 and my face hurt. I assumed because my nose wasn't broken, the bleeding stopped pretty quick, and there was minimal bruising and swelling on my nose and eyebrow that I could ignore it. But Ouch. All Day Ouchy - Ouch.
Soooo then I decided to go to BJJ. You know, the class that squishes your face.
I got to learn my lesson after all.
Pain Makes You Stupid
I was so distracted by the pain in my face and nose that I made stupid errors in my hand and arm placement that got my fingers rolled back. That distracted me to somehow twist my elbow (not bad, but still). Most of all I just couldn't CONCENTRATE any time pressure was applied to my nose.
I left before I had more body parts in pain than I had ice packs and I'll be fine in a day or two.
Sigh, learning stuff sometimes kind of sucks.
