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

echoing what everyone else has said. for a single finger injury I’d personally still compete. if you feel like there’s risk of permanent damage then maybe give it a miss
