war wounds

Here is my latest war wound (the biggest I've had so far), located on my right knee. Luckily, it is just a bruise and will go away in a matter of days. In the meantime, I am forced to wear pants instead of the dresses I usually wear to work. 

Since starting BJJ , I have grown accustomed to the following (much to the dismay of my boyfriend) :
1.  Calloused appendages (fingers, toes, knuckles)
2.  Mild cauliflower ear
3.  Mat burn
4.  Busted lips
5.  Random scratches

Gross? 
Well, BJJ is a contact sport that comes hand in hand with all these injuries.  Remember, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!
