I am two weeks post surgery and went to my first training yesterday, am I pushing it? I was careful that everyone knew to be sure to pull there punches to my midsection. I also did a couple falls but that did tended to be a little painful so stopped doing falls after that. Thoughts, should I wait a bit longer?

Careful attention to your return to training; moderation at first, increase as you are able. Probably will respond well to progressive increase as tolerated.
Good luck in your Bandster Training, the Biggest Dojo of all.....

Not a MMA or fighter, but doc told me no weights or core training for 6 weeks following surgery to let the port heal. Probably a good idea for you too, you don't want to risk a revision

Recovering alcoholics have their spaces, recovering druggies have their spaces, but there's apparently no place -- even here -- for us recovering fatties. It's a shame, because I'll always be an obese person in remission. Where do I go??

I'd hold off if I were you. My doc didn't clear any hardcore workouts until around 6 weeks out. You don't want to do anything that might compromise the band. You speak of falls....what MA do you study? Aikido, jujutsu, what?

Speakman does teach American Kenpo which he has customized to be more his own style. Ed Parker though was the big American Kenpo professor, bringing the art to America from Hawaii in th 50's his biggest profile student was Elvis. The style I take is more the Traditional Hawaiin style , but with alot of Roots in Kajukenbo(KA-karate JU-judo KEN-kenpo BO-boxing). My Shihan is Dr. Nick Chamberlain from Chamberlain Studios of Self-Defense - Dallas Karate - Karate Dallas - Dallas Martial Arts - Martial Arts Dallas
training should be fine, just don't push it. as far as rolling on the mats (jits), i say hold off for a few more weeks. you use a lot of abs down there. i'd say 'training' is ok for now, but no sparing. give that a few more weeks.
i plan to get back to some jits and stand up in a few weeks myself.
love that siht.

I took a semester of Kajukenbo in college, it was pretty cool. I didn't know you were in Dallas. I've been dying to take Krav Maga, but nobody in a 50 mile radius of here teaches Krav

I have been holding off on the sparring and the ground and pound stuff. I have mostly been working on Kata and self defense.

Krav looks pretty cool, an even more in your face style than the Kenpo. There area few schools in the metroplex area for it, but not quite ready yet for cross training in another art yet afraid it would confuse my my poor simple mind. Once I get into the upper brown areas I am going to start into cross training most likely in Jit as the ground work is pretty sweet.
I actually live in Arlington but the Dojo is in Dallas close to where I work.
