We could be misunderstanding each other but usually a ligament tear is more of a POP imo.
This test works, I tried to find a better video but basically if the lower part of your leg moves forward or backwards more then your good one, and I mean theres a noticeable difference, then theres a good chance of a ACL tear. That said of course still get it checked out but you might want to try this.
Got MRI results. Partial tears of the popliteus tendon and muscle, partial tear of the medial meniscus, severe tear of the LCL. GP said I probably need surgery, but even if I don't it will all take several months to heal. fml. Seeing a couple of ortho surgeons next week.
Ah man that is so lame. I am not sure if the LCL is worse or better compared to a ACL, I do know it is much more rare. You will need surgery. Don't listen to anyone that says you can live without it, and it will heal on its own good enough. Sure you will be able to walk around and do normal stuff, but you will hate your life when you try anything athletic. My surgery where my body rejected my ACL, I was so mad and frustrated and went without a ACL for a year and a half. I lived a normal life except I was not able to do any real sports and just snapped one day and got it all fixed again. I got meniscus repaired and a full ACL replacement, did all the rehab and started BJJ a year later and am so glad I got it all over with.
Really sucks man, but it happens to top athletes as well and just got to bite the bullet and get it fixed. Hope it all works out.
hi guys, just noticed this thread and thought i would start posting in it. As am taking up BJJ this year and really pumped about learning it properly and nailing some of the technique, never rly done any grappling or anything like that before.
Just feel like its something I should do - not really interested at competing at a serious level or anything like that - just want to pickup the basics really quickly and then carry on as a hobby. Sorry to hear about the injury matrat, hope all goes well with your recovery. I've been sidelines soo much in the past so I def feel your pain.
I slightly pulled my neck/right shoulder in training a week ago, it hurt for 2-3 days and pain was gone after that.
But i just noticed my right arm lost considerable strength. Can barely curl 1/2 of left arm, and leaning ridiculously to one side when doing chin-ups. Arm strength was very close to even just a week ago.
Anyone here ever experienced something like that before? Should i see a doc?
even though this thread does not get updated as much as I would like I think we should limit injury discussion a little bit. Maybe if you get hurt bad you can post but if you are doing bjj you are always hurt.
If you decide you want to get good at bjj you are going to be constantly injured. maybe not big things like acl or torn shoulders etc, but you are going to always have something hurt.
Agreed, as long as its within reason. That said plexiq get it checked out, strength loss is strange.
Another tournament coming up next month put on by the same people. I would have to start cutting weight now, and meh I just don't feel like rush jobbing and weight cut and getting back into shape for a tournament in just over 3 weeks. I wasn't prepared for the last one, and I wont be for this one. I got a email from my instructor saying they are going to probably test me for my blue next time the black belt comes to town, so I think I will focus on that and go get my ass kicked at the blue belt level in competitions. More fun that way.
Now some content! This guy has been putting these videos the last little while and they are great little refreshers and general outlines.

Sure, but I don't think it's bad if it's someone asking a question. I lost my hearing for like 3 weeks after grappling. I'm pretty sure my coach perforated my eardrum on accident. That was kinda scary. Anyway, sometimes injuries are weird and you want confirmation that they're standard.
Had a awesome no gi class tonight, my wrestling is really starting to feel like it coming along. I hit a north south choke from the mount tonight, like grabbed the neck and backstepped off to the choke and got the finish, been wanting to do that one for awhile. I really need to get back into shape though, time to stop the bulk I think and cut. Also I put up a video of me hitting the pads in the striking thread if you wanna see me look like a noob at something.
Just started sparring bjj and I have a distinct weight advantage over the students which frustrates me a little as I don't know if I'm actually doing well or just getting into good spots due to my weight advantage.
Also I'm finding that I'm getting into the mount quite easily versus some opponents but then struggling to submit - anyone got any simple submissions from the mount that are easy to practise without a partner??? Cheers
