For those of you that have asked, I thought I'd post the video that shows exactly what I was doing when I blew my ACL. As you watcht this video, I would have been the guy in the red/black top. At 1:38 in the video he taps due to the pressure from the submission. Because I was pretty flexible, I did not tap. As soon as I realized that I didn't have to tap, I attempted to yank my right leg out of the lockdown that he had on it with his legs. Because my ACL was already torn pretty significantly ( a fact that I did not know at the time), and because he held the lockdown perfectly and straightened his legs to tighten it down even more when I tried to pull out ( the perfect response), my knee dislocated momentarily and blew the ACL. This would not normally have been the outcome and I beleive that if I had a proper knee at the time, it wouldn't have been the case. I thought this video would better illustrate what I've tried to explain to many of you.
eww. that makes it really real. I'm so glad you're on your way back to healthy!
