It’s a huge inspiration to see the Purple-Belt @diegobritobjj totally recovered, showing on the video above one of his favorite techniques. Many young competitors would have given up the sport after such severe and repeated injuries. “In 2016, I tore my right knee’s ACL and my meniscus defending a position during a training session” he said. “During the surgery, the doctor noticed that my tendons were all ‘crambled’. He had to open my left leg to take pieces of tendon to use on my right knee. The procedure that was expected to take one and a half hour, took more than eight hours. Months later, at the same week that I was cleared to go back on the mats to train, I injured my ankle and my left knee, making me go through another round of surgeries.” He said.
The love for Jiu-Jitsu, besides his resilience and the recovery skills of this young warrior, featured in many international competitions, made him a great example of mental strenght for our GRACIEMAG’s readers in these hard moments of a pandemic.
Let’s move on, fearless readers! Never give up! Oss!
