Movimento Lento Blog followers may have noticed, I haven't posted a Blog for a little while. This is mainly because I have been getting writers block but I have also been enjoying the sunshine and discovering the Great British sea side resort of Southsea, Portsmouth.
Today's Blog is a short blog on something referred to as the Perichondrial Hematoma better known as cauliflower ear. Now the likelihood is, is if you are regular BJJ practioner or martial artist you will have encountered the cauliflower ear. For those of you haven't, here is an article from the Washington Post, about Cauliflower ears in Wrestling.
Below some UFC stars give their thoughts on the bacon ear, I mean cauliflower ear
Here is James Thompson's ear exploding in a fight against Kimbo Slice
The best way to prevent cauliflower ear is to wear an ear guard. Although I don't wear an ear guard now I have tried many brands. I have found the Cliff Keen ear guard to be the best. I am particularly fascinated by one of the new Cliff Keen designs (here), it is suspiciously similar to another type of mask. I bet it doesn't take a genius to guess what Cliff gets up to in his spare time.
Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on the cauliflower ear.
