Re: Training Accidents

In about 10 years, I have either witnessed or known people who have experienced the following. Personally, the worst injury I have experienced came from playing catch, not Aikido.

Dislocated collarbone: inexperienced uke learning tobi-ukemi for the first time tried to pull out at the last minute

Separated shoulder: Very experienced uke thrown hard with kokyuu-nage aggravated an existing shoulder injury

Dislocated collarbone: Not at my dojo. A fairly experienced uke tried to pull out of a tobi-ukemi at the last minute (I see a pattern here)

Shattered 3rd and 4th metacarpals: Not at my dojo. A fairly experienced uke received kotegaeshi from his sensei and got his fingers caught in sensei's sleeve.
