Are injuries this common?

[u/xoknight]

Month 2 of judo since I picked it up with no martial arts experience.

Right now I have:

-cracked right toe bone (<not broken in half, just cracked> completely my fault, tried for a ko uchi and accidentally full force kicked my opponent in the shin)

-pain in left calf

-pain in right ankle

-lower back pain (from being slammed onto the tatami going up against a 100+ kg opponent)

-bleeding fingers

-pain in finger joints

-pretty sure I heard my right shoulder pop today trying for a tai otoshi and I lost all power in my right arm for a good 5 minutes, is back to normal now though

-pain in high left rib cage

Obviously have started taping my fingers and toes, and yes I have my cracked toe splinted and I am making sure to rest it and not agitate it. I am taking practices off recently to make sure it heals.

Just wanted to see if these types of injuries are common and typical in progression.

Yes, your fingers and toes will be constantly fucked overtime

but bleeding and heavy pain with presumably light/medium intensity randori?

[u/Go0o0n → u/glue_drinker9000]

If he’s in a competitive gym, then it’s possible. If he’s getting injured and already getting aches, then he’s not doing light/medium Randori. It also sounds like he’s a bit of a spaz if he’s breaking toes going full speed into foot sweeps.

Yeah it sounds like hes going too hard with improper technique tbh
