What do you do when you can't train?

[FrostyMc]

Remember that Jits is much a cerebral sport as it is a physical one. Pick one of your favourite grappling athletes and watch competition matches with the intention of trying to figure out what they do (and why they do it in) every position they find themselves in. I found this to be much more effective than watching technique videos alone. Hope you get well soon!

Thanks bud

depending on the injury, I will have a training partner, who I can trust to go slow and respect my limits, work on drills with me. Whatever position I can, slow drills that allow for movement or reps in an area I have not worked lately. This is not always possible and I have never had a hurt rib so I am not sure this is useful for your situation but perhaps it will be a way to ease back onto the mats when you are ready.

Yeah, the thing about a broken rib is that a little pressure on it will re-break it, so people laying on me, or even putting pressure with their hands or feet or anything on my upper torso in general is super dangerous, and extremely painful. I suppose that goes for any broken bone. Maybe I can train leg locks, though
