BJJ / Jiu-Jitsu Busted Your Body Up? I've Got Your Solution! - Kama Vlog

[@macwood516]

As a massage therapist, I am working on several BJJ, Judo, and wrestling practitioners. I enjoy helping them, and learning more and more, about their "world".

[@lb8313]

Truth. Separated shoulder AC joint, separated rib, insane neck pain from a neck crank in bjj, chiroprator resolved it all... and it does indeed help to have someone who is familiar with BJJ/MMA practitioners. I used to be skeptical as an RN, but the proof is in the pudding. Unrelieved pain with non-stop ibuprofen, relief with a chiropractor!

[@buffalowick8003]

My Orthopedic Surgeon told me there is not one documented case of a chiropractor fixing/ curing anything.

[@TheLifeofRich]

I have been to many chiropractors, and when you find a good one they are priceless! Especially if you're an athlete

[@eddiewright5921]

Sir! You're absolutely correct. Ive been going to my chiropractor off and on for about 20 years. He is more than a physician he's become a good friend. Well, i started training jiu jitsu. He strongly encouraged me to start seeing him more regularly. Well, he cut me a huge discount allowing me to see him unlimited for a very, very small once a month fee. I now see him twice a week. This has been a tremendous help to my recovery and training. Im 52 and im grateful to have this awesome resource. If youre new to jiu jitsu and over the age of 50, I highly advise you to add routine chiropractor visits to your jiu jitsu wellness. Thank you for sharing your content.

[@mofoflm]

started at 36 years of age, and with proper warm up and self care through physio and chiro i am actually healthier 8 years later than when i started.

[@MidlandsJJ]

Really enjoy these videos! I’ve been wrestling my entire life, and then moved into coaching wrestling. I’ve been training jiujitsu since 1998 and my body has really been through some wear and tear! Please keep this videos coming!

[@Thecochenour]

I have had to stop practice do to back pain. After this video I will be looking for one. Thank you kind sir.

Exactly what my physiotherapist told me and how they treated my back. Saved my sanity

[@divanavitch]

Good advice. It took me a few before I found the right one. Now I’m on a maintenance schedule. So much of a life change for me. I can lift my 2 year old again.

[@graciestonewall9102]

I've been to a few, but only one really knew what to do with me. Has helped me with knee, lower and upper back pain. A couple years ago, I kept having pain in my hand and fingers. He took care of that too. It is definitely worth it guys. If you're having pain, then give it a try(and give it more than one try!).

[@andrewkim6037]

I view chiropractic as being like acupuncture. It definitely works, but the key is that you have to find the right practitioner doing it.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

Thank you Martin!

[@marti_micfly7416]

Hey Ryan to add onto this I had a question. I have been looking into getting a massage, but at the age of 26 I've never gotten one professionally. I dont really know the difference between sports or deep tissue or which to get as I am finally getting my first massage done professionally in about a week. All I know is that I have huge knots in my back, and after a long day Even without training my back can start to feel sore.

[@dougieladd]

Same... with regard to low back pain... I recently had to crawl on my hands and knees for a day and then walk with a stick for 3 days. I'm actually out of BJJ now for the foreseable future. I am hoping to be able to return. I'm a white belt beginner and was learning for about 7 months. I'll most probably have to start from scratch. Chiropractors are freaking amazing. The criticism they receive is usually from people with no experience of them.

[@DUARTE99]

Injuries suck. That’s for sure. Thank you for making this video. People need to watch this before they stop training because of pain. Like I did for 7 years. 😔

I've been going to a chiro 3x a week for a couple months now and they do the manual therapy you describe here as well as electrostimulation along with alignments and it has helped dramatically. I cant believe I felt 90% better after the first visit. completely believe in its benefits!

[@chebean2]

[@solomanbrian]

Great video. And I agree. I am fortunate to have found a great Chiropractor.

[@JCBPARISPARIS]

Good to talk about possible injuries in bjj, best way to avoid injuries is to talk about it. If you can give advices about injuries prevention later it would be nice. Safety first. Because if you are safe, you can train (Except I know people who train with a broken anckle !!!)

[@rojoification]

[@jamesbishop4183]

i hurt something nearly every class, but i know the next day something else will hurt more. so i just rest and stretch the best i can and more forward. It has worked so far....lol

[@ikaikakukaniloko3416]

My mom got into a bad three car pile up car accident. She broke her tail bone and couldn't walk. Three doctors told her to have surgery. One Doctor (Chiropractor) said she didn't need it at all. My mom went to her and three months later was walking and fully functional like the accident never happened. I've been going to that Chiropractor in Orange, CA for the last 18 years when time was available. Chiropractic work is very beneficial. I would HIGHLY suggest combining massage therapy (Neuromuscular Massage Therapy) with chiropractic care. Spine /Joint Work with Neuromuscular Muscle Manipulation produces amazing results that avoids drugs and surgery. GREAT VIDEO Professor Ryan!!! MAHALO!!! IKAIKA (KAMA JIU JITSU IRVINE)

[@bushido007]

When I hear these lists of injuries I always wonder if it's impossible to train without being injured

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

The probabilities say yes.

[@joshlcaudill]

Kama Jiu-Jitsu Will avoiding takedowns significantly reduce that risk? I’m an older fellow with lots of responsibilities and while the competitive side of me wants to do it all, I have to be smart about this (back training for a month now) or else I won’t be able to continue doing it long term.

[@CaptPostmod]

@@joshlcaudill I'm 41 and have been avoiding takedowns. Whenever I go to a takedown class, I live in pain for a week after.

[@jamesbishop4183]

@@CaptPostmod im 41 too, and ive found taking judo classes helps. 1, you get better at taking falls, 2, you can increase the odds of not being taken down during BJJ.

[@martiallife4136]

You are right. It depends on the Dr. I went to a PT instead because my hip was hurting and he just cracked my back four times. You found good ones but some suck. I've had acupuncture which was good. I did it for tennis elbow. But it depends. I did prolotherapy for it first which helped a lot. I was on the verge of having surgery until the Ortho sent me to a sports medicine doctor who gave the prolotherapy shots which is basically sugar water to stimulate the body's healing. My torn ligament healed. They used an ultrasound every time.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

Prolotherspy? I might need to look into it for my torn shoulders.

[@psyience3213]

Good information. Im going to look for a chiropractor. Between bjj, a kid and construction my lower back every now and then acts up. I didnt even think about a chiropractor. I know that chiropractacy is a lot loke martial arts in that there is plenty of bullshit, but theres also plenty of legitimate practices. Just to share two secrets of mine, krill oil everyday helps with all joint pain, and cbd is a beast at getting rid of my lower back pain and swollen joints. I have 2 later maniscus tears as well. Whatever thats worth to you. Thanks for the videos, i love how you usually reply it must take a lot of time but I think it's awesome whenpeople I admire take that time, so thanks for that too.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

CBD oil is beginning to become more mainstream. Good stuff.

[@radishbeet2130]

I also go to James Brown. After he works on you, you jump up and yell "I feel good!"

[@jeffreyhargrove2299]

I really wanted to start training Jiu-Jitsu in my town, I've tried it and enjoyed it but I moved from where I was going and didn't really find another place, well fast forward ALOT I'm 30 now I've worked in factorys and warehouses my entire life carpel tunnel and back problems already and I just got over having neck cancer and that 11 hour surgery left me with a good bit of nerve damage on the base of my entire neck, but cancer really changed the way I look at stiff and I just want to work at making myself better in everyway, I guess I'm just curious if you've dealt with kind of a young guy who's been pretty well beaten up and they excelled anyway.

[@zeusblack47]

To practice BJJ and have injuries as a consequence is a high price to pay.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

you would think. but i've had so many injuries, i no longer keep track. but i'll never stop training, injury or no injury. i know, really sounds weird. but the injuries are not a consequence, per se. it's more an occupational hazard, instead. may happen. may not happen. but the training is that awesome, where we all take those risks.

[@jamesbishop4183]

wait until yer picked up and slammed on yer neck in a street fight, then ask yourself if BJJ training is a high price to pay. we take these injuries on the mat so we dont take them on the concrete.

[@krod8982]

Are bjj schools welcoming of new students. Nervous to try it out.

[@davidpiper7578]

It's fine joining anything new is a tough choice but you'll be fine. Jujitsu addictively fun.

[@Sebdes23]

Chiropractor may help for fixing some damage. I have been strength training a lot (not crossfit). I feel like if it is done properly, it helps with prevention. The main 4-5 barbell lifts done with attention to technicality help with symmetrical muscle development. I have been doing squats for a while, even heavy squats, and have less knee issues than before. What do you suggest for prevention? Regular massages? Yoga?

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

Proper form is most important.

[@Sebdes23]

Kama Jiu-Jitsu yes sir. As is recovery. I rarely do jiujitsu on the same day strength training. One reason I may experience less injuries than most people may be because I am unable to train as often as I want and therefore get forced extended recovery time. What do you think about people simply not live sparring every practice? Especially if they train frequently or are older?

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

i stopped strength training altogether back in 2013. i found that after strength training, i'd be too sore during jiu-jitsu. and when back to lift day, i'd be sore from jiu-jitsu. wasn't able to recover for either. so, i quit lifting, lol.

[@Drwcorner]

Thank you for this info. 40 blur belt, three bulged discs, one pinched never. Doc says quit bjj immediately.

[@jiu-jitzlife8270]

Shawn Williams. I know how you feel brother. I'm 42, had back surgery on my L4 and L5 disc. Still have MAJOR PAIN in lower back. But still train and only a 4 stripe white!!! But I regretfully decline on drilling take downs and never let ego get in way in just rolling light. You have to rewire your mind and be realistic with yourself. Comp days are OVER. Just DO JIU-JITSU any way or any form of it. It's a life style not only a sport. Good luck bro.

[@morpheus1818]

I've had 2 near neck injuries from the backwards fall associated with the receiving end of the double leg takedown (not from your school; I'm in another school out of state). Because the good guy has secured your legs behind and at the top of the calf muscles and drives forward/lands with his shoulder in my stomach I always land flat back (with no rounded curl in my back). No problem with keeping my chin tucked and slapping the mat with both hands but landing flat back is putting a lot of force on my neck cervical spine. Any suggestions on how to safely fill the bad guy role in this technique? Thanks...

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

What’s the “bad guy role?”

[@morpheus1818]

The Bad Guy advances towards you aggressively and gets "taken down" to the mat during the double leg takedown.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

You know, I’ve never had many issues getting taken down like that. Just don’t fall flat on your back. Flex your abs when your feet get taken out from under you and breakfall.

[@morpheus1818]

Many thanks for the advice...I'll give it a try.

[@CaptPostmod]

This is one place where I get quite a bit of cognitive dissonance on the "self-defense" side of jiu-jitsu (which the school I train at considers itself to teach). Just in my few months of doing BJJ, I've had multiple injuries and even wound up essentially bedridden for a few days a month ago. In my 41 years of life, I've never been in a fight I didn't want to be in. So the likelihood of a ninja mugger crackhead jumping out of the bushes and attacking me or a crazed biker dude at a bar charging me is super low. Which has led me to joke "If I never went back to BJJ again, I'd never get beat up again. Self-defense solved." I'm not saying this in a way meant to say BJJ is bad for self-defense in the least. Just saying that I have trouble wrapping my own head around these two disparate ideas. In my adult life, the only significant injuries I've had from fighting are training BJJ for 4 months-not even open rolling yet. Going to BJJ puts me directly into certain danger with a promise of getting me out of potential danger.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

ironic, isn't it? part of it is your starting it at a late age. part of it might be your body just needed a little more time to get acclimated to the pressures put on it by the training. i've always looked at it like this; better to be trained and not ever need it, than to need it and not ever trained. but that's prolly just me and my "different" way of thinking...

[@droptozro]

Same exact problem. Started in July 2020 at age 34. Loved it and loved learning, but the injuries are keeping me out almost every other week in only a matter of months of training. Not every issue is due to Jiu-Jitsu, but most of them are. I usually only get through one week and then something crops up. I thought I was about healed on a shoulder injury(from a shoulder lock, and I tapped early!), but then sleeping on it wrong did something to make it sore again. Then all of a sudden yesterday(and I haven't rolled in almost 2 weeks now with exception of 1 and a half roll at a class last week) my right back neck just locks up in pain and I can't turn my head all the way to the right now. Lo and behold--this video pops up explaining exactly what I'm thinking, I need a GOOD chiropractor.

nothing beats rest. these bjj schools never tell their students to rest after injuiries because they want their enrollment fee. 80% of bjj students quit after 6 months. thats damning. i'm sure 90% leave after 1.5 years. hygene is one issue (bare feet, they should work out with rubberizd socks, or shoes) and the other is injuries because rest is frowned upon in bjj. if they told students workout one month onone month off or two months on one off more people would stay.
