Today’s question comes from Frank who’s a BJJ coach wanting to get back on the mats with students after an ACL surgery. Now he knows he won’t be able to do full on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training like normal. But he wants to be able to coach on some level while his injury heals up.

In this video I share a few tips with how I got back on the mats to coach after suffering a meniscus tear and had surgery. A meniscus tear is definitely not as severe an injury as an ACL tear but I still had to deal with some of the same issues Frank is as a BJJ coach.

There are also some good tips in this video discussing coaching as well. So hopefully whether you’re a BJJ coach or not there is something valuable in it for you.

As always, thanks for watching.

In this video I answer a Youtube question about a knee injury that has limited the amount of bend in the knee. I discuss any whether there are some dangers in training without full knee motion.

I also talk about a few positions to avoid as well as position to use if you have limited knee bending and a really effective technique that can help improve knee bending (aka knee flexion).

In this video, I discuss the basic anatomy of the knee joint and specifically how the knee is effected with BJJ.

I go over the basic ligaments and the meniscus.

And I talk about one of the more common ways that a meniscus gets damaged during training and one position to look out for when training to keep your knees healthy.

Training BJJ after an injury or surgery is always a worry any grappler has. I’ve had a couple of surgeries and numerous smaller injuries. And anytime one of these happens I always wonder, “how’s training going to be when I get back?”

In this video I answer a question from a guy who is getting ready for meniscus tear surgery on a torn piece of cartilage.

In general meniscus tears are rather common and I’ve seen plenty of them in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

During the video I talk about some of the warning signs that a meniscus injury is brewing and how to proceed with it.

In my experience our bodies often try to tell us that something is up and we don’t listen. We don’t stretch, we don’t do anything strengthening we just keep doing everything exactly the same. And then something eventually goes wrong.

If you’re getting ready to have or have just had a meniscus surgery. I hope the video is helpful to you and your Brazilian Jiujitsu training. If you don’t train Brazilian Jiujitsu, no biggie, I hope the video is still useful.

And as much as it sucks to be broken or injured. Try to take the lesson away about what your body is telling you.
