There were numerous other guys getting injured during testing etc and I finally walked away from that class thinking to myself "how effective can I be at defending myself if I'm always injured?"

it's true that there's a risk of injury, but it's better to get injured a little in class than get killed a lot in a real fight.
Use very light weights and you can rehab your shoulder. I had a couple tendons in my bicep become detached from the shoulder, a slap tear on my labrum and a frayed rotator cuff, six weeks physical therapy doing arm exercises with light weights and it's good as new. Right now I'm rehabbing a torn ligament in my ankle
