Thumbs down

At the last grading i took there was a green belt going for his blue belt, but in the pre-grading warm up and practice he damaged his shoulder, however, he was intent on grading so he continued, during the course of the day he had to be helped off the mat no less than three times each time in extreme pain, you had to admire his determination but it would have been wiser to stop and get the shoulder checked by a professional before training again, if i had an injury that kept flaring up during practice i would definitely get it checked out just to be on the safe side!

regards

Paul
