MA training today... first hour is grappling, second hour is standup. grappling is usually a few techniques, then 5-6 3 minute fights, then a few techniques again and another round of fights. All fights are at 100% strength.
In my second or third fight I shot in on a guy from my knees and something happened to the knee my weight wasn't on. It was very strange and the pain was sort of all over the place around the knee cap. I fought on but had to buttscoot quite a bit as it felt pretty bad to sit on the knee.
Not my best performance, and I felt a bit low on energy, but I guess that isn't too strange after two days of lifting and some of the worst sleeping problems I've had in a long time (and I always have problems sleeping). I was too lazy with my arms today and my shoulders were in danger quite a few times, but I ended up giving up no submissions and scoring 4 myself - armbar from the back, armbar from back triangle sweep when I was sidemounted (not sure how to describe the situation, but I end up like this all the time), I somehow stacked a guy so tight he ended up tapping, and I also tapped a guy with a very well placed bodytriangle from the back... all in all I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed.
I checked out my knee after the grappling part of training was done, and it still hurt, and there was a bit of swelling on the right side (of the left knee), so I sat out on the standup and iced my knee instead. It feels pretty solid and there's no or almost no color, so I'm not too worried - especially because I've never had knee problems. I mostly fear that I might have to skip lifting tomorrow That would really really suck... I was supposed to lift 3x3x150kg. DL which I was looking forward to (milestones are great motivators).
I've put a light compression on my knee and will be giving it a rest and hopefully it'll feel good by tomorrow. I'm seeing my sister at noon tomorrow anyway, and I'll just have her check if it's safe to lift or not. It's quite practical to have a family full of doctors...
