Sorry scientist. Eat healthy so your body has the tools to heal faster. My two centsLeave a comment:

I am lumped up all the time. Pretty much always have some issue. But I have never been "injured" before this. In teh 4 years I have been doing bjj in the gi, I have torn some cartilage in ribs, strained a knee ligament and that is it. Each one sidelined me for a week or so. I have hundreds of shiners and nosebleeds and scratches though. I popped both my ankles off heelhooks early on, but they healed up. I had my knee scoped in HS bc I tore cartilage wrestling. I pretty much always have some part of my face busted up.
Injuries are actually pretty rare in bjj. You get a lot of the little stuff, but out of 100 guys that train in the gym weekly, only 3 or 4 have been out more than a month or so with injuries. One guy hurt his knee really bad doing takedowns (liek he will never walk right again). Two guys have needed neck surgery due to pre-existing issues exacerbated by grappling (I probably need something done with my neck too, but I am afraid to have an MRI done because it has been bothering me for abouy 2 years now), one guy tore his ACL. That is pretty much it. Bunch of broken noses hyperextended elbows, pulled muscles... that stuff happens pretty much every week.
It is all part of combat sports though. I feel like if we had 100 guys playing basketball 8 hours per week each, there would be more injuries.Leave a comment:

That sucks.
Fear of injury is a big reason why I don't want to get into full-contact sports. I don't want to roll around town all the time with a broken nose and a black eye.
I'm actually looking into some karate stuff right now where the competition is kind of like kickboxing lite. Basically, medium contact kickboxing, more or less. So you get most of the benefits without a lot of the downfalls. I hope I can work that out.Last edited by SPX; 12-19-2011, 12:54 PM.Leave a comment:

How did you know about my dad?Maybe you can write big nog and tell him how much you idolize him and want to be like him. And how you both have broken arms resulting from kimura's and how you want to meet him one day and how both of your dad's were never a part of your life and how both of you can become best friends if you just meet each other....
Also, to hell with that nog/Brazil pride, I would gladly tap in practice or competition. I just didn't have time.Leave a comment:

At some point this evolved into a reference to a show.Leave a comment:
