I did no-gi Bjj for a good while and dabbled in striking/mma (was pretty irregular with training and I'm an engineer so I'm not looking repeated CTEs). I swapped it for climbing, as I definitely don't have time for both. I miss the physical challenge but I don't miss the nearly constant injuries. The writing was on the wall. I've seen so many knee and shoulder injuries. My neck creaks, I most likely have sciatic nerve issues, I completely dislocated my thumb, I've broken a rib, intermittent elbow tendonitis.. the list goes on...

Bjj and combat sports culture is strange. I paid attention to it probably more than I should have. I honestly don't miss that juvenile drama part even the slightest. 

Yeah…true.. I broke a few bones and had a shoulder come out in a match once.

Lol the culture is unique. I’ve been to a few UFCs. Hilarious crowd every time.

Any wrestling fans here? It’s incredible watching Penn State in the midst of one of the best college sports dynasties ever.  There’s so much good philosophy one can gleam from coach Cael Sanderson about the pursuit of excellence

Yessir. Admittedly I haven’t followed college wrestling closely for about 10 years, but PSU doesn’t miss, I do know that.

I still watch Bo fight…

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
