Does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Damage Your Body Over Time?
Look, we all love BJJ, but if you’re not training smart, you might just end up walking like a 90-year-old long before you hit your black belt. But don’t stress-most of the damage can be avoided with the right approach. In this video, I’m breaking down the common problem areas (you know, the ones that make you groan when you get out of bed) and showing you how to keep training without wrecking your body.
What You’ll Learn:
Why your neck, back, knees, and shoulders hate you after training (and how to make them hate you less)
How to tap early without feeling like you’ve lost your pride-it’s not worth limping for weeks!
Why mobility and flexibility aren’t just for yogis-they’re essential if you wanna roll well into your golden years.
Strength and conditioning: Yeah, you need to hit the gym too, mate. It’s not just about technique!
How BJJ compares to other activities (spoiler: you’re probably not going to destroy your knees like a marathon runner, but still, be smart)
🤔 So, does BJJ damage your body over time? It can, but only if you let it. Train smarter, not harder, and you’ll be out there rolling when you’re old enough to tell your grandkids you could totally still triangle them.
