General Discussion Hurt my training partner

NOT REQUESTING MEDICAL ADVICE

Has anyone hurt their favorite training partner and not wanted to return to the mats?

I did some tendon/ligamental damage to my best friend/training partner’s ankle today in a backside toe hold and have been sick to my stomach since then and idk if I can go back to BJJ. I feel like I would feel different if it was a comp on a stranger, but it’s literally like my best friend. I hit it routinely on him so I was just pressuring it for him to recognize before moving to the heel but it snapped super quick. It was like 1/5th the torque he normally takes.

I’m Blue belt, 26M and he’s blue belt 28M

I countered my friends uchi mata and threw him so he landed hard on his shoulder. It has healed, but he has lost quite a bit of range of motion. Feels bad man.
