Thanks for the comments, Kevin, Oliver. It's the 6th rib on the right front side. I'm still using the patches the doctor gave me, but haven't been taking the painkiller pills I was told to take after meals as it doesn't hurt as much as it did. Yes, the doc offered me a corset-like thing but I didn't take it as it wasn't crippling pain when I moved so I didn't think a corset was necessary (and he didn't try to push it either). I went to the gym two days after that sparring session but couldn't do much. Hitting the bag caused an explosion in the back of my head (it felt like I hit myself) so perhaps I had a bit of a concussion too. I was back the next week and just tried to work with it Try a few things and see what hurt a bit and what hurt too much. Keep doing the former and leave the latter for the next week.

The broken rib is the worst, had it happen also. The doctor is probably accurate, unfortunately. Took me 3 months to be 100pc

Is it on your front side or back side? Good question! I would think that lots of footwork shadow could work, in guard. Yodkhupon has a beautiful footwork gallop you could learn in that time. It doesn't involve a ton of twisting. There is also a big question about immobilization and healing. Doctors really like to isolate injuries at times. Sylvie goes in a very different direction, continuously working around and feeling the limits of motion, and expanding them. Something along the lines of thinking that in the natural world when you had an injury you pretty much would never stop moving. There is some sense that motion might encourage healing, in many circumstances (blood flow, etc)

Ah that's too bad. I read somewhere that he had debt problems but didn't realize they were that serious.Thanks for the information!

Pretty cool, thank you for posting this. I'm 6 hours away by train, going to mail the gym and maybe go down there for a week orso. Get a few privates. Seemed like a very friendly man in sylvie's videos.

DAMN..... I really thought it was some sort of autocorrect mistake or whatever... Those weird Imperial measurement units are killing me...

Cheers. I wasn't aware. Thanks for the heads up.
