Had my first lesson back from injury last night and I was allowed to take it easy. We got to do a bit of grappling which was fun and I managed fine. The sensei was kind enough to partner me with a senior student who took it easy on me.

Then there was a problem...

I got partnered with a teenager who started around the same time as me. Not a bad kid but a bit wild and very sloppy. We started to do self defence take downs. The first thing we are taught when taking a partner down in sparring is to control them so they don't hurt themselves. We are also taught break-falls. So anywayI'm the agressor first and while sorting out this kid's technique, he just comes forward and takes me down. Doesn't guide me, no chance to break fall and BANG I pop my shoulder. I've complained to sensei numerous times about this kids lack of control. One the Sempai's who is a qualified physio got it sorted for me but it's really sore today but it really annoyed me.
