Currently iv got a little group at my university that I'm teaching 10thpjj to in my spare time. Resently my hands are getting worse and need an op due to nerve damage and knees haven't been good in a long time and now affect me in everyday activity their still undiganosed at this stage. The jj might have to stop for a while.
Good luck man
Cheers man
change your style
I've learned this lesson late in life but: never quit doing what you love...and if your body refuses but your mind permits, just find another way to stay involved in doing what you love. Cant' roll? Get some light reps in. Can't do that? Study to become a referree. Become a judge. Become a manager. Become a trainer.
I've been an observer of this sport for over a decade and I just started being a participant and I can tell you, I'm in this for the long haul. And when my body tells me I can't train anymore, I'll just find another aspect of the game to stay involved in.
Good luck to you homie. I hope your time away from the mats is temporary.
Wow sry to hear that hope things work out and that you can stay involved in jiu-jitsui/MMA to whatever extent u can. When the dream is big enough the facts don't count!!!!!!
Good luck adapting to and overcoming your adversity brother.
Hey, if Jean Jacques Machado can do it with one hand... :) Good luck to you brother. If you have the love, you'll find a way.

we speak. Plus I had a my collar bone pulled out of my sternum and separated
ribs from by sternum. I'm a mess but I continue to train. Some times you just
have to take time off. If you don't slow down you'll be forced to stop. You sound
very enthusiastic about grappling as me but you have to get the proper rest and
some times rehabilitation. Grappling is a tough rough sport that we train hard in and if we
don't get the proper rest we will likely get injured or reinjured over and over again.
Taking four weeks off is not something we want to do but sometimes we have to.
Actually we don't need to train every day all day. Once you've been grappling for
awhile you should cut back to just a few days a week. Don't roll all the time. Every
night should not be ADCC night. Take time off if you must. Lift light weighs and work
around your injuries.
While taking time off you can keep up with your grappling knowledge by watching instructional
grappling videos. I watch them any way. Continue to watch grappling classes. Keep your mind
sharp.

i always ask the older grapplers how they deal with injury and this is usually what they say. they define their style around their injuries.Quote:

sorry, i didn't mean to imply that, just that I've heard the notion before. that advice helped me a lot with reworking my guard work so that it wouldn't injure my lower back.Quote:
