I’m a white belt, I always kept my trainings to 2 session per week max. Plus I lift weights/do calisthenics for over 15 years consistantly. The first month I got a bulge in my neck, numerous microinjuries including a snap of my big toe which took 8 months to heal. Just recently I came back to training bjj 1x a week and guess what? My other big toe got injured in the 2nd session. The pain is nearly gone after 2 weeks, but just last session my elbow was crushed by a bigger guy. I had 5 sessions last month, 2 of which ended in pain. And it has always been like that since I started bjj. The one thing I can confidently say - my connective tissues/joints are just weak af. They are small, tend to hyperextend and heal very slowly. Training calisthenics with lots of isometric movements do help, but man some people just have stronger/larger/fuller joints and rarely have any injuries. And I know these people personally. I agree to everything you’ve said in the vid, but I also wanted to share my experience and add that genetics/body composition play a huge role, just like in every sport. Btw, I’ve learned to roll smoothly, not maxing myself out, and mostly working with higher belts because there’s only 3 of us whities at the gym. Still get injuried as a mthfckr 😂 To add, I’ve got Bsc of Sports Science, my lifestyle, diet, recovery and supplementation is on point, I’m 31 y.o. Leaving this here as someone might find this relatable.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I appreciate you watching as well. That said, a lot of people also have incorrect training but among all, tissue adaptations take time.

Every time I go to BJJ I never go 100%, even if my partner goes 100% I just focus on having good technique and keep calm under pressure. If someone seems to be stronger and more skilled than me then I just focus on escapes and frames. Never got any serious injuries from BJJ. I recently hurt my ribs and it was not because of BJJ. Got it from boxing x) You can learn a lot from trainging and learning without going 100%. You can train with 75% strength, controlled speed and focus on technique and you can easily sub stronger guys that go 100%.
