BJJ | Training with Injuries

The first of this month marks two years that I have been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In the last two years I can think of many injuries I have sustained during my training.

Let’s see. The first year I got my elbow hyperextended. I am still not able to lock out my elbow without it beginning to hurt a little. I also popped my ankle. I am not sure what exactly happened to it, maybe just a sprain, but it took a while to heal. A toe nail that was pulled back to far it hurt like hell and bled. That was my fault my nail was a little long.

Right now, I have two toes that were smashed and pushed back to the top of my foot. This happened two weeks before a competition. I still competed, however, they are still bothering me and are not completely healed.

This does not included the many times I can home with my neck feeling like it was tossed in the spin cycle of a washing machine, mat burns on the tops of my feet that sting when I go to take a shower, and the sore shoulder, wrist, and fingers.

I know there are many people who have suffered more than I just after two years of training. I think I have taken good care of my body. Although, I do try to maintain a training schedule of 4-5 days, I have been able to rest and recover quickly.
