    Episode 120 - BJJ Injury Hell: Broken Arm, No Training, and the Real Cost of Jiu-Jitsu

    20/1/2026 | 1h 7min
    In this episode of the BJJ Balance Podcast, we get real about the hidden cost of jiu-jitsu — injuries, surgeries, weight gain fears, and the mental struggle that comes when training is taken away.
    One of us is dealing with a scaphoid fracture, possible rotator cuff damage, and a full arm cast… which means no rolling, no lifting, and no stress relief. We talk honestly about how hard it is to stay disciplined when you can’t train, how easy it is to slip back into old habits, and why jiu-jitsu becomes such a huge part of our identity.
    We also dive into:
    How BJJ injuries really happen
    Why cardio without rolling sucks
    The mental health side of training
    The fear of weight gain when sidelined
    Why jiu-jitsu is different than every other sport
    This episode balances real talk, dark humor, and the kind of conversations only jiu-jitsu people truly understand.

    Gordon Ryan’s legacy, teaching future & competition future
    Craig Jones’ role in keeping jiu-jitsu entertaining
    PGF, Real American Freestyle, and missed opportunities
