Probably.<br/><br/>The holiday itself is from 4th til 18th, but thought it worth pausing the month, particularly as my gf's bday will take up most of the week after. That means I've still got the option of popping along to other classes (there's a sub grappling place near my flat in Birmingham), or indeed privates at RGA. Will have to see how to cold turkey thing goes. :p Heh - estate agent rather than a doctor, IIRC, but he had apparently had the same thing and asked his doctor.

If you were really a terrified monkey you would grip their gi with your feet when they tried to pass your guard.

To only have opposable thumbs on your feet…. You would be unstoppable.

What are you doing in May?

I'm presuming that's from gripping like a terrified monkey as people try to pass.<br/><br/>Feels like arthritis, but from chatting to one of the other guys at RGA, I think its actually swollen tendons. Either way, hurts to bend them - I guess the month off in May will at least give them a chance to recover. ;) I’ve not had any broken fingers (yet), but I have been sore in the upper joint of my middle finger on each hand (especially the left) pretty much since I’ve started.
