Finger Injury Vlog 5 – Returning To Full Training After Finger Injury

February 3, 2020 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

After close to 3 months of dealing with a finger injury (Mallet Finger), I returned to training with a few modifications.

I was still reluctant to use my hand as much as usual during training and was mindful about using the hand to grip as well as placement of my hand/fingers to keep the fingers protected. I also used a small splint on the finger covered by a neoprene finger sleeve which is made by “Luta Gear” called “Gripp Tap” for support.

I used the neoprene sleeve to protect my finger, to keep the splint in place, and also to ensure that the splint was covered during training to help protect my training partners.

Finger Injury Vlog 3 – How To Train BJJ With One Arm

December 26, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In this video, I show some of my training session and how I train with one arm.

It has been a learning experience from knowing which positions I should try to implement and what to avoid during a training session.

It has been humbling but a great learning experience in developing my guard retention, mobility, and importance of control and position.

Thanks to my coach, Chewy, for getting some movement in with me during the roll and taking the time to teach and give me some advice during training!
