BJJ and Judo Injuries

Grappler Blog Aug 10, 2009, 2:56 am
There should really be more information about injuries for bjj and judo. It seems that you go to your club, you train and if you get injured you don't really get much advice about what to do. It is basically your responsibility and thats it.

This is why I made this post because we want to provide people with as much information as possible. Ideally of course the academies should give the names of the doctors they recommend but we are far from this at the moment.

BJJ Poll: Does Your BJJ Academy Charge for Belt Promotions?

Grappler Blog Aug 10, 2009, 2:54 am
Charging for belt promotions is a really bad idea I think. This is an important moment for people who have been training for years. Don't spoil it by charging money for this. Charge more for lessons instead in my opinion.
