The story of my trip around the world to train, teach and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other grappling arts.


Knee probably not as bad as I feared

Just got back from the physiotherapist. She thinks I might have a very small injury on my meniscus, that can get annoyed sometimes if I do a wrong movement. It most definitely comes from the toehold I was put in at a turnament six months ago. I should be able to train on my trip as long as I ice and rest for a few days it if it hurts again. And I should get an MRI scan when I get home in the summer.

So all in all, it is good and bad. I definitely have problems with my knee, but hopefully not so bad that I can’t train during the trip. Any training before I leave is not happening though.

Two weeks of upperbody training coming up!

    Man, I hope the meniscus injury is minor.I would suggest getting an MRI for safety as soon as possible. I have had a couple injuries become more serious because I didn’t get em checked out. Keep u the good work.

    Yeah it is my plan to get one when I get back from the trip. It is free here in Denmark, but I can’t get an appointment for it before I leave, since there is a waiting list.
