Here are 2 very important considerations if you are a rehab professional who works with jiu jitsu athletes: 1️⃣Have a clearly laid out plan for return to jiu jitsu: starting at acute injury you need to know when and how to clear them to the next stage. 2️⃣Tell them what they CAN do not what they CANNOT do. If you don’t give a jiu jitsu athlete clear instructions and an alternative they will push the limit.

Probably the worst thing a medical professional can tell a jiu jitsu athlete is “just quit”. There may be times when that is the reality but most often with proper rehab and activity modification you can get an injured jiu jitsu athletes to the mats safely. One of the most effective tools as a clinician I use with my jiu jitsu clients is not “what they CANNOT”, I tell them “what they CAN” do. That simple concept and I get the buy-in that I need to help them get back to the mats at the correct time.

This was how I spent the last day before my ACL surgery. The ACL was injured 3-weeks ago. Not one time did I think of taking a day off. No way I was going to sit on the couch until surgery. My only motivation in sharing is due to the overwhelming majority of negative stories surrounding this procedure on social media. There will be zero negative stories as I post this journey. I’m not excited about it, but it’s necessary. I’m looking forward to teaching jiu jitsu to my students in a new way, which will make me a better teacher/coach. I’m looking forward to dedicating time everyday to visualize, which will help me get better at jiu jitsu. I’m also looking forward to the rehab. It’s an opportunity to excel mentally and physically. Once injured I immediately began prehab. I lost weight and got fitter. I wanted to make my surgeons job as easy as possible. Only one direction from here. ⬆️

Targeted recovery work isn’t optional if you want to train hard and stay on the mats long term The grappler I know who feel the best long term aren’t doing random stretches or guessing with their training They’re building strength, mobility and movement with intention If you want to move better, hurt less and get more out of your rounds, start with the basics DM me with ‘BASICS’ and Ill show you where to start #bjj #jiujitsu #jiujitsulife #bjjlife #jiujitsulifestyle

Staying on the mats for years doesn’t happen by accident. Courtney from Grapple Zone says one of the biggest lessons he’s learned is how much mobility, rehab, and prehab matter. If your joints aren’t strong and mobile in every position, that’s when injuries show up. Adding mobility and strength work alongside your jiu-jitsu training can be the difference between training for a few years…or training for life. In the gym, the real goal isn’t winning rounds. It’s longevity. #gymtraining #jiujitsu #martialarts #jiujitsutraining

This month on the Doctor Jiu Jitsu podcast, I sat down with Mike Piekarski, PT and black belt, to talk about how to train through pain without making it worse. We cover: – When to modify instead of quit – Why most re-injuries happen in the “last 20 percent” of rehab – How gym culture affects injury rates – What longevity in jiu jitsu actually requires Pain is information. Ignoring it is a choice. Full episode or get the highlights in this weeks newsletter. link in bio

Some of most ignored injuries in jiu jitsu occur in your hands. We talk about knees and shoulders, but not fingers until we can’t grip anymore. What most people call a “jammed finger” is often a ligament injury that never gets a chance to heal because we keep training through it. Over time, swelling sticks around, motion decreases, and grip strength drops. I recently sat out a competition because of one. Not because it was dramatic, but because I know where that road leads and my hands aren’t only used for jiu jitsu. Read the full newsletter on my linkedin.
