Got my second dose of Moderna today. Kesting just released a good podcast with a NYC doc talking about when to return to training and figuring out your personal risk and the risks to those in your life. I'm going to give my 5G a few weeks to sync up then I'll see about going back to BJJ, maybe...

Having gone through the GB self defense curriculum as an instructor I'll say it's mostly substandard, pretty much on par with hapkido or any other TMA. But that's true of a lot of BJJ self defense classes. The benefits of a GB gym would be the sparring and comp training, depending on how...

Stephan Kesting has been putting out good podcasts/videos about BJJ and COVID since the pandemic started. Here are some of the most recent ones:

If you can get the vaccines definitely do it. I've got my first shot and so have much of my close family. If we want to throw around personal acedotes, my 88-year-old great aunt got COVID and was fine. A friend in his 60's got it and died. My uncle got it and was fine. Another friend in his...

I haven't trained since Mar 2020. I'm in the last group to get the vaccine so I'll be waiting a while longer. From what I've read, you should give the second dose a few weeks to have its effect. I read in an AMA by Johns Hopkins that they anticipate that even if it's possible for a vaccinated...

Since I got the ping about being quoted in the necro, here are some more thoughts. I don't remember what I wrote earlier in this thread so maybe I'm repeating myself... Over the last few years I have gone pretty deep into the recovery/pre-hab and mobility work. I've got two certifications from...

Ask Todd for his recipe, I hear it's pretty good

This post isn't really about OP but I thought you guys would be interested in Groupon experiences of business owners. From the restaurant owners I've talked to about Groupon, they've said it sounded like a good idea at first (and Groupon has a sales force that calls up restaurant owners to make...

To be honest I used to be one of those BJJ hipsters because there is a certain pride one feels being a "small and weak" guy who can still beat people up, but it is not the right way to train if you want to be healthy as you age. You don't need to hulk out or become a power lifter but if all you...

Here is a lesson I had to learn before I could fix a lot of the chronic pain and nagging injuries I had from BJJ: Improving athletic traits does not equate to improving your health as a human. Being a better athlete often makes you a worse human (not morally, just physically). In fact, you...

"Bad" is relative to what you want to do with your neck. The average person does not need that much neck strength and traditional physical therapy would look at something like a wrestler's neck bridge and cringe because they're taught you're going to harm yourself. The neck is not really...

So I'm not going to claim I'm a wizened old timer because any time someone in their 30's complains about being chronically sore and injured, someone else in their 40's calls them a child, then the 50 and up crowd tells all the kids to get off their lawn... But... After 15+ years of BJJ I have a...

Look for a FRC/FR specialist. That's the joint care system I've found: https://functionalanatomyseminars.com/find-a-provider/

[Edit: Whoops, wrote this for elbow tendinitis without reading OP very closely.] Usually see improvement from light isometrics on both sides of the joint (at a few different angles of the joint), eccentrics, and working on forearm extension and opening the fingers (like against a rubber band...
