Judo Injuries, what are your experiences?

[revoligion39]

My girlfirend tore her arterie and her elbow disslocated, that was a major competition career ending injury, she was at her peak, fighting in an international tournament, the horrid thing is that she had actually won that fight, her last fight of the day, she would have got a bronze medal, black belt, onto the great britain team and gone in for her driving test, they could have least awarded her the medal she wanted so much, life sucks some times, lol

She now teaches Judo (and very well I may say) and enters the odd competition, but to do this I know she has a lot of strength in her (mental aswell as physical) to pick herself up and work hard. She also fought and finally earned her black belt (through fighting, not just grading like they do now)
