purple marks on my back

[bunchof66]

Just from doing some light mma sparring and drilling takedowns against the cage. It doesn't even hurt or anything, just looks bad.

are rashguards about stopping that, or are these kind of marks just unavoidable?

I know the smart thing would be to actually go to some of the bjj and sambo training my gym offers. I've been boxing and kickboxing there for a couple years, shamefully never did grappling though.

Unavoidable, and also not something to worry about.

Your gym offers sambo?

So cool.

Can we make this tread about that from here on?

Haha, fair enough. I guess I will just expect it anytime I do mma sparring.

In the meantime though, yeah. I guess I'm a fool for not doing sambo yet. I think it would be wise to get a little grappling under my belt before I try mma again. It was really fun though. I got slammed and thrown around pretty good.
