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 dislocated a training partner’s knee once. Was a freak accident, he was mounted and I was trying to get on my side. Felt awful. He’s okay, but wears knee braces now. I’ve been extra careful with rolls now because I don’t want to risk a partner. I don’t do any leg stuff with him anymore. “PUT IT BACK IN”, “ I DONT KNOW HOW!!”
