About this listen

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.
