Yeah, I understand that. That's what the majority of people do. I was actually training for a fight, but again, that's just me, and not everyone is there for that. At any rate, I've broken fingers, toes, and the radial bone in my left arm, with a dislocated wrist, were the most recent injuries. Lasting damage just depends. There's no way to predict this type of stuff. I'm dealing with lots of lasting damage, because of the amount of times I've broken it, repeated nerve damage, etc, but everyone is different. You've gotta roll/spar with people to get better, so anytime that you're dong that, the risk is there. Just know that getting hurt is part of the game.
