Can You Train When You’re Injured ?

We’ve all been there before. 

 

Training is going well. . .

 

and then BAM. . . you get injured. 

 

And a knee injury can be one of the worst.

 

So what do you do when you’re injured? How do you still train and progress?

 

Yesterday, I drilled with one of my young up and coming Blue Belts.

 

He’s primarily a No Gi grappler and has been killing it in competitions. 

 

He also lost over 100lbs with BJJ training!

 

Right now, he has a knee injury and so we worked around it. 

 

Have a Knee Injury, Try This . . .

 

1 thing that we focused on was grip work. 

 

If you look at my Chewjitsu instagram stories right now, you’ll see he and I grip fighting on my story. 

 

We did this for two reasons. 

 

1. Because his knee is hurt and this puts little pressure on it. But benefits his entire game. 

 

2. He’s better in No Gi and wants to improve his gi game. And to be good in the gi you have to grip fight! 

 

So we spent a large portion of the grip fighting session working on the techniques I outline in my Get a Grip grip fighting system.

And for you, if you ever experience a knee injury or something that prevents 1 part of your game.

 

Don’t get too down on yourself.

 

Instead, think about how you can work on another part of your game.

 

There’s always something you can do. 

 

Some of my biggest break throughs have come as a result of being limited on what I could do.
