FalconWrestling 147 Report post Posted April 24, 2009 I was practicing High Crotches on my own at Clarksville's open mats when suddenly my hands hit the bottom of my feet. Somehow it reopens a cut I had gotten a couple days earlier and creates small gashes on the back of my hand and ring finger.Have you ever heard of that happening to anyone?

Zeus 117 Report post Posted April 24, 2009 Can you be more specific about your "hands hitting the bottom of your feet"? First off I'd say to check the mats and make sure there's not pieces of glass or something else that could cut you. Cuts like this while practicing can be very dangerous because of the possibility of infection. Staph and similar disease spread through little cuts on your skin. Make sure you wash the cuts out and keep them clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was throwing my rear hand back while attempting a high crotch, and it hit the back of my shoe as it kicked up i guess. Then while stumbling I must have had my other hand hit it too. Ive just never heard of a wrestling shoe that could cut into skinChecking for glass was the first I did, then I cleaned it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
