Well, my back didn’t take terribly kindly to me doing BJJ. I went on Saturday and on Tuesday. I participated in about 75% of class and I rolled in each class. At the time my back felt fine for most of it. Wednesday I went to the gym and my back felt off. I don’t […]
I’ve been back at BJJ twice, after being gone for nearly 6 months due to my herniated disc. On Saturday I made it to the huge, teamwide training and had the opportunity to roll with the purple belt from my academy. On Tuesday I made it to my own personal BJJ gym. There were only […]
I wanted to share what it was like going back to BJJ after nearly a 6 month break off the mats. I herniated a disc in my back in October 2011, and since then I’ve had physical therapy, started lifting weights, but have continued watching BJJ, and going to class. For me to go back […]
After much anticipation, I’m pleased to announce that coming this Saturday, 3/31/12 to a BJJ gym nowhere near you, the saga continues! Finally, the wait is over! Tell about your favorite part of “Return of the Jiu Jiu!” Did you like the part with the laser beams shooting out of her eyes? Or the flying […]
So today I went in for my physical therapy assessment. Thankfully it’s in the same building as my spine doctor – so he was able to access my MRI, no problem. Since my horrid spinal injection, I’ve had little to no pain. On the 1-1o pain scale they have a cute little chart: I prefer […]
Huzzah! Let’s celebrate! Okay, what’s been going on with me: I had surgery on my back and was told one month with no BJJ. The surgery was to remove a small epidermal inclusion cyst from the upper part of my back. I ended up with 7 stitches – 2 on the inside and 5 on […]
Small update. I had a reaction to some of the pills I was taking. A very bad reaction. Starting at 5:30 am I couldn’t keep food down. At first I thought it was my dinner, so I made an egg sandwich and went back to bed. Woke up and threw it up at 10:30. Switched […]
So I went in to the specialist this morning. I was lucky that I had a Korean friend with me. We got me to the hospital and I had been sitting for nearly an hour when we got to the area (I had gone in to get my stitches looked at), and all the sitting […]
I write this in a supine position, unable to freely move. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit how it happened. I decided to do some squats–no weights, just a little exercise. I did 2×25 and at the end my back felt REALLY tight, so I stretched it out. Less than an hour later I couldn’t […]
Looks like the theme is accidents. First, Seymour writes an article called BJJ Burst My Eyeballs (warning, extremely disgusting photo, but no eyeball fluid) and then Georgette wrote an article about the scariest moments in jiu jitsu. Well, after being grossed out and scared, I thought I’d write something slightly more stupid. That’s right, stupid […]
