Thread: Want to learn BJJ - however i have previous pec tear , so I’m gun-shy. How often

are you seeing folks getting injured in classes/practice?

I have no desire to compete this is strictly for self defense knowledge and a good workout.

Non competitors don’t seem to get injured too often.

Haven’t seen any crippling injuries but plenty of knee / shoulder tears with 1-5 months out in those of us who compete regularly.

Getting a MRI this Saturday for my knee that still hurts 2 1/2 months after a heel hook where my ankle popped. But still training for June Ibjjf Boise open... at least I’m getting it looked at right?
