Fractured Teeth
On Saturday, one of my training partners elbowed my face. The blow caused a horizontal fracture across my two front teeth. Not fun. It was painful. Went to the dentist, and he said there’s not much to do but wait for them to heal.
This is my third injury training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Why am I telling this story? Simple. I have every excuse to give up now: “It’s dangerous.” or “I might get hurt again.” But I realize that it’s better to do something with the risk of injury or failure, then to simply sit at home and pontificate on healthy living or living the good life.
So I will be back at training but with precaution.
