Yesterday my BJJ class was cut short a bit as a rookie (who had been training twice as long as I have, don’t get me wrong) broke his arm while trying to defend a take down. He held his arm outstretched behind him, trying to catch himself as he fell. All his weight – a big boy, like me – oh his static arm…something had to give, and it did. Ouch. We held his arm to his chest, wrapped him and his arm in tape and the instructor drove him to the hospital.
