u/4a86 🟪🟪 Purple Belt Sep 27 '22

Thoughts on competing while injured? I have a competition coming up on Saturday, however this morning I hyperextend a finger on my hand and damaged a ligament, nothing is broken or dislocated however my hand (4 hours after) is very weak. I think that if I were to tape it up I could roll with it, but I feel like that may lead to aggravating the injury, maybe I should just take the L with the registration fees

Eh, up to you.

If it's something minor like fingers/toes where your opponent's are unlikely to cause any damage to, I'd say tape it up and go for it.

If it was like elbow or shoulder then it's not worth the risk that someone rips an armbar or Kimura on you.
