I don't care what anyone says, but I don't roll hard. I just don't. I don't care if I get to blackbelt. I've been training bjj for about 5 years. I refuse to get injuries these days. I've had a couple of popped ribs, a broken thumb, and some neck stuff. It's been at least a couple of years since I've had any injuries, and I've decided to keep it that way. If there's an explosive, young, strong white belt, I just play defense and try to survive. I work on my judo takedowns, but I don't crazy with them. I'm in my 40s, and there's no reason to get injuries at this stage. I don't want hip replacements, disc replacements, or any of that stuff. I want to remain healthy and strong, and if that means going a bit lighter in my rolls from here on out, so be it.
The nice thing about Jiu Jitsu is with enough training you can become very effective at a sub maximal pace. I rarely match the intensity of my training partners.
Over 45 lightweight brown belt here. You can train everyday injury free by warming up properly, using situational sparring and mixing chill roll with “everyday Porrada” once in a while. Also, TAP EARLY.
with that in mind, condition your body with weight training and feed/hydrate it accordingly.
@@tube33139tap early, tap often
I like the whole idea of tapping early. I am 41 and new to jiu-jitsu been doing it for a few weeks now. But a couple of other guys that I roll with get submissions on me so quickly that I am already in a bad position before I can tap, and I ended up with a hyperextended armfrom a black belt.
perfect perfect perfect timing professor! torn hamstring with a side of SI joint separation and bulged L4/5... just now cornering the "bargaining stage". ;) Listening to this feels integral to the recovery process, big thanks!
Jeremiah from Loveland co here, trained in Laramie and Cheyenne with you. So glad for all you contribute to the community. And to me personally, all the time you gave and technical solutions you offered me. Hope to see you on the mat in the future, wherever that may be. 🙏 Sayounara
Great video. I injured my shoulder 3 weeks ago and I've only trained once. I went to an urgent appointment to get muscle relaxers. I'm going again to get x-rays, MRI and a CT exam to make sure that I didn't tear my rotator cuff. I've learned that as a 55 year old 1 stripe white belt that you can't go 100% without the proper techniques to match. I'm stretching also. Great video.
Talk about hitting the nail on the head.
I’m a 47yr brown belt who idiotically kept sparring with a torn rotary cuff.
Paying the price from the sidelines.
Thank you for your content, professor.
Greetings from Norway.
🇳🇴
Brown belt 55….Pace yourself for sure. Try to distinguish between real injury and hurt and just aches and pains. Common sense . I’ve had all the injuries but I just keep going. Mentally pushing through when possible. I eliminate other things as well like the gym if necessary. Just focus purely on technique and Jujitsu. Mental side is everything. Keep showing up
Perfect video
Thanks Rick. Love the content and personal philosophy. Wholesome my friend. Hope to meet you someday.
Great video Rick, I have had a range of serious injuries the past couple of years.
I agree with keeping your mind in the game and study class rolls. Visualisation is the 🥇☝🏽
In April I took training in my own hands, before going back to class. I would just drill with a friend who wanted to get back to Jiu Jitsu, once or twice a week.
I taught him all of my A-Game and what I was developing for my B and C. I also got to develop a great rear triangle and sneaky arm bar setups over this time.
Now I have started to coach kids 2 times a week and back on the mats❤️🙏🏽👊🏽
Great video grazie
I just watched class and rolls yesterday. Pulled a muscle two weeks ago and it's still real sore. I wish I would have participated, though. A technique was covered that I could have done as it didn't involve much use of my injured part. However, I made several notes and learned a few new-to-me details, so I'm really glad I went vs. just staying home. It's also good to see the group.
Recently I spent over a month on the sideline with an injury I sustained away from my gym. It's tough missing, but I watched every day that I normally train and learned a lot. Also, as mentioned in this video, my coach sat with me several times and I enjoyed one on one chats that I would not have had otherwise.
I agree 100% with the advice to watch class if you can't train.
Professor Rick, this came at the perfect time. I’m staying in the game 4 mounts out from my demo.
great material as always:) I see you have been enjoying sun:P
I was just out for 3 weeks, my knee popped out : ). I used to go through those emotions but I've learned to accept it and it allows me to rest. When hurt, I still show up to my academy to watch the drills, it definitely maintains the discipline of time commitment and I get to learn the technique of the day, always learning something or small detail I had missed before. Great message and great vid as always!! Your edits are amazing professor, do you do the editing part or delegate it? Thx.
You are absolutely right about trying to keep anyone remotely athletic off the field so they can heal. Other than bumps and bruises I had more injuries playing team sports and powerlifting. 4 knee surgeries, shoulder impingement, tendonitis several times all before 35. About the only real injury (and I'm using the word loosely) were my ribs about 3 months into juijtsu. They took forever to heal because the rib cage gets squished a lot when you first start. I spent most of my time under people when I first started.
couple weeks ago I was passing guard on another white belt. ( I'm 52, he's 20 something) i rolled a floating rib under another one,,,ouch. went back to Krav class w my chest protector on, sat and watched the jiu-jitsu class. figured doing visualization while watching....after a couple weeks off.
Sounds painful!
Get those mental reps. Stay on schedule
I’ve herniated a discuss never been the same
I hurt my knee 5 months ago I can kneel on my left knee with out it feeling like it’s been set on fire went to doctors they said it’s nothing the is no tears breaks or cracks in the bone or muscle
Can you please do a follow-up on your wolverine stack video? Even if it's a short. I've had a chronic lower abdominal injury and have been waiting to pull the trigger on peptides. Thanks for all you do for the BJJ community.
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to because the protocol did help me. It’s not a magic bullet, but it definitely helped.
Serious question- I’m 53 and got thrown the other night (Judo guest). A day later my back felt compressed and has now went down into my testicles. back, testicles and left leg a numb. Anyone had an injury like this and a possible remedy?
I have to fly out for a vacation to Europe in a week, I took it as light as possible, almost did nothing. Now I have had agonizing tendonitis pain in my right foot for the past three days, if this thing doesn't get better in a week, I'm completely screwed. It happens everytime I have closed guard and they get up and I hold the guard. I'm super annoyed, I'm seriously debating quitting BJJ. Blue belt here.
Jason got married? Congratulations!
Thanks! Jordan married Xena. You can watch both of their belt exams on this channel.
BJJ is not only hard when it comes to injuries, but it’s even harder when you are 50 years old and have an autoimmune disease that is always attacking your joints to one extent or another. Because of this, I don’t roll hard anymore. Most of my rolls are just “flow rolls” and I pick my partners *very* carefully. It’s either that, or just don’t do BJJ.
I am going 70 years old in 2 years, I have the same mentality of picking the right partner, rolling technically and artistically. Older age can not afford injuries and stop exercise for long time. Injures will eventually keep older people out of bjj practice!
The age and weight divisions in competitions are there for a reason. If you are a white belt, just learning to walk the path of BJJ, stay away from young, enthusiastic white belts, especially those that are heavier than you. In BJJ, consistency pays off better than effort. It’s more productive to roll at 50% power every day instead of 100% on and off, taking recovery time in between.
How much more evidence do BJJ guys need on this? Most do this as a hobby, you might lose your job because of injuries , house etc. It hasn't been around that long, but I bet in years to come it's players will all end up as cripples. It can't change as you have to power against joint manipulation, that's why I gave it up.
