Competing In & Training Jiu Jitsu With A Torn ACL

I recently started another blog called, injuryhealthblog.com, it is going to be my new place to house injury-related and health optimization content; however, I have been dealing with an experience for the past several months (honestly, years) that I think is much more appropriate for BishopBjj.com. That experience is training Jiu Jitsu with a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament).
Below, I’ll tell you about my first ACL injury and subsequent surgery, my second ACL injury, and my experiences training jiu jitsu and competing in sporting activities without an ACL.

Predictions for Jiu Jitsu Trends 2017

It may have been one of the most progressive years in jiu jitsu history, and looking back, there were a lot of unprecedented things that happened that will likely shape the future of our martial art for years to come. Ultimately, it paints a very vivid picture for jiu jitsu trends I believe we will see in 2017.
