Re: injuries!

seen:
dislocated big toe coupled with 360 degree skin tear = big toe attached by fleshy bloody things dangling off the foot a half inch or so. ( complete recovery after getting it stiched back on, but he only came back to class once). His toe got caught in the mat (wrestling mat of course) while he was getting spun around for iriminage. not such a bad injury after all said and done but sure was gory looking at the time.

received:
A good smack with the tip of a jo on the left cheekbone. lots of blood and a walnut size gooser, quite a shiner that was.

had a good scare of some tearing in my knee recently, but it seems to be healing well,but that was judo ( beware tori's leg knee barring you during tai otoshi).

separated shoulder and sprained ankle doing jujitsu randori.

took seven stiches on the forehead tanto dori about ten yrs ago.

other than that a few broken toes.

I can say I see more acute injuries in jujitsu or judo, and more chronic stuff in aikido, but that may just be perception.
