Hey, can someone please give me an answer? I’m freaking out here, I need this ASAP because the uncertainty is killing me!😲

So, I messed up my ankle about three months ago, and I just went in for an ultrasound to see how bad the damage actually is. Here’s what the report says:

"Ultrasound of the right ankle and foot shows a complete tear of the anterior fibulotalar ligament. There is evidence of a total rupture of the deltoid ligament, which has healed via hyperplastic fibrosis rather than regrowing its original structure. Fluid buildup is present around the peroneal and flexor tendons. The talonavicular joint capsule appears thickened. Also, there's a tear in the plantar aponeurosis."

Can someone please break this down for me? I have absolutely no clue what all this medical jargon actually means in plain English...
Thanks pozdrav

If you want my take on how much this Kung Fu (Sanda/Sanshou stuff) actually resembles traditional martial arts? Honestly, to me, it feels just like UFC but without any of the ground game.👍

It doesn't look anything like traditional Kung Fu, man. You know, all those old-school snake, dragon, or crane styles they usually practice... 🙄

Robin Palmer3, what’s your take on these Kung Fu fighters now? How do they actually stack up?😁
I gotta say, seeing them run competitions in this style really caught me off guard—but honestly, it was a pretty damn good surprise.

Raymond Wood69 said:Look, all that stuff is fine and dandy, but my biggest hurdle is actually hitting the gym... I'm honestly kind of embarrassed to show my face there in front of them🙄 but hey, if you want results, you gotta suck it up, right?

Man, don't even sweat it. You know exactly why you're there, so just get in and get it done..

Nathan Hill13 said:I started training BJJ basically just so I could defend myself when people targeted me (which happened way too often). Eventually, I moved over to Muay Thai because pure sport competition wasn't cutting it—it felt more like a cage than a way to grow.
Unlike what’s being claimed in the quote, I’ve actually found plenty of self-control and zen. I train because I want to refine my technique and work on the stuff I still suck at—timing, distance, fluidity. And honestly? If I can ever hit that subconscious level of reaction where everything just happens automatically... well, I’ve actually felt that happen a few times. At this point, after 17 years in the game, I train because I literally can't imagine doing anything else. It’s just part of who I am now.🙂

Look, a pro boxer has got the timing, the distance, and the reflexes down pat, but they don't need all that Eastern philosophy crap. They just need hard work, repetition, and more damn work.

Adam Harris29 said:I've been training BJJ since I can remember, and honestly, zero regrets!
Why? Because back then I didn't know any better, but now it's just who I am!

Well, of course you don't regret it... You were just doing what you actually liked.
Obviously it's part of you—just like it is for every single one of us who picked it up. I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make there, but whatever...
Look, maybe my last post rubbed you the wrong way a little.

Adam Grant32 said:Hey, I'm pretty new to combat sports. I've been training Karate for about a year now, so I was wondering why you guys all got into this, what you're currently training, and how long you've been at it.

Man, my story is kind of a fluke. About a year ago, a buddy of mine who does UFC invited me to come by as a sparring partner. Right then and there, my coach told me I really needed a solid foundational style if I ever wanted to actually develop any real skill. So, I jumped into Karate, and honestly? It’s been awesome. Even though it wasn't exactly what I originally signed up for, I'm loving it.

So, what's everyone else's deal?

I started doing Karate (Shotokan) when I was 10, which gave me a killer foundation... To be honest, the whole reason I even wanted to learn how to fight was because of the Ninja stuff. Eventually, I moved on from Karate to other disciplines..
The only thing I can say for sure is that my whole perspective on martial arts has shifted completely. Back in the day, I used to see them as this beautiful culture and art form from the East that taught you self-defense while also instilling things like self-control, spiritual peace, and all that zen hype. Nowadays? I look at martial arts strictly as a combat system designed to teach you how to land hits—and if it means permanently disabling your opponent, well, that's just part of the job. At the end of the day, that's what they're for.

What if you just, like, actually went to see a doctor?

👍 I'm right there with you...

What a joke..

Bryan Fowler4 said:I'm gonna have to disagree here... once you're done crushing it at the gym, your muscles need something fast-acting to kickstart recovery, and that means whey paired with some glucose.

p.s. honestly, if you're already dropping cash on whey, just bite the bullet and buy the good stuff—go with Labrada, Optimum Nutrition, or something legit... don't waste money on that cheap garbage🙂 because you never know what kind of junk they're stuffing in there.

Oh, so you work at Labrada or Optimum or something? You suddenly an expert on what goes into the tub?😉 Stop acting like you've got a 100% guarantee on everything you say.

6.5 to 7.5 lbs

If those were just cuts... man, Strada would’ve absolutely laid them out. He’d have beaten them from head to toe. Especially the head, seriously.

I'm hunting for a SAVATE club that actually puts in the work and offers some high-quality training... I'm living over in the Preko area.🙂
