Train Injury-Free as a Masters BJJ Athlete
Train Injury-Free as a Masters BJJ Athlete
Let's face it: as a Masters level BJJ athlete you're not as young and fresh as you used to be. As soon as you hit that 30-year mark, everything starts to feel a little different. You just can't train like you used to.
Even those super human Masters athletes that still manage to hang in the adult divisions aren't training like the average 20s aged jiu-jitsu athlete. They have to train smarter. Why? For one, they can't bounce back from injuries as fast as they used to. So, preventing injuries is the name of the game for Masters level athletes.
But how exactly do you train smarter?
Here are my top four "smart" tips for training injury-free as a BJJ Masters level athlete:
- Cross-Train, for Safety
- Choose Your Rolls Wisely
- Self-Care is Key
- Be Kind to Yourself
