In this episode, I talk about the mindset around getting injured in Jiu Jitsu. Some older grapplers say you should keep quiet when you feel pain. They think saying “I’m hurt” makes you weak. Not only is that idea wrong, it is dangerous. When we face pain early and fix it, we stay on the mats longer and play better. Learning how to work around an injury is smart, not soft. If we change the way we think about pain, we can train harder, feel stronger, and enjoy grappling for many more years.
Key Takeaways
- Admitting I’m hurt does not make me weak.
- Fixing small hurts right away lets me roll longer and have more fun.
- The “just tough it out” rule is old and needs to go.
- Smart training around an injury keeps my body strong and my skills sharp.
- Pain is only a signal. When I listen, I heal faster.
- Asking for help shows strength—it keeps me and my teammates safe on the mats.
