Alright guys, I think this is something all of us who do BJJ need to think about.
Here's my point: I'm a 20 year old male who is in pretty good shape. Every night after BJJ I come home with aching ribs, sore back, and blisters on my toes. Don't get me wrong, I love the pain. BUT, do you think we're going to be able to be doing this stuff 30 years down the line? You look at a typical BJJ class, the students are pretty much 18-30, rarely do you see someone over 40 cutting it in class.
I think we should realize there's a price to BJJ. Because we are learning one of the most aggressive and physical MA's in the world, I think our bodies might be worse off in the long run.
