My Student was Almost Blind for Life from a BJJ Training Accident

Today’s video is going to be a bit different.

#1 This is a call-to-action video. Guys, please trim your fingernails & toenails.

#2 if you’re new to Jiu-Jitsu and want to find some eye protection, this will be useful.

This idea came about because I was scrolling through the internet one day, and found a question related to a student of mine.

So, the question was basically about eye protection. The guy who asked it had some previous injuries that left him seeing only about 5% through one eye. He wants to make sure he doesn’t damage it even more and wants to protect the 1 good eye that he has left.

He was also wondering which type of eye protection he should get.

Lastly, he wanted to know what the culture of eye protection is in BJJ, if people would get pissed at him wearing it, etc.

Recently, one of my students, Brandon, got into a leg lock shootout with a crazy training partner when visiting a gym somewhere else. In the end, he was kicked in the eye and left blind for days as a result.

His doctor basically told him that he should not roll again unless he wears protection as it can permanently damage his eyes if something bad like that happens again.

He had gotten a pretty bad corneal abrasion that left him with an insane infection in his eyes.

Now he always trains with goggles & wears head gear to help keep them tight while rolling.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.
