Here is a question Chewy and I received during a live episode of The Chewjitsu Podcast.

We were asked about taping the fingers and toes for BJJ.

After close to 3 months of dealing with a finger injury (Mallet Finger), I returned to training with a few modifications.

I was still reluctant to use my hand as much as usual during training and was mindful about using the hand to grip as well as placement of my hand/fingers to keep the fingers protected. I also used a small splint on the finger covered by a neoprene finger sleeve which is made by “Luta Gear” called “Gripp Tap” for support.

I used the neoprene sleeve to protect my finger, to keep the splint in place, and also to ensure that the splint was covered during training to help protect my training partners.

Dealing with an injury can truly limit so many things but working around your injury and staying active is important to allow a smooth transition back to the mats when you are healed and ready to return.

Here are a few things that I have been up to while injured:
1. Study BJJ Techniques
2. Strength Training/Supplementary Exercises
3. Train Around Your Injury If Able

Just type on BJJ fingers into Google Images and you will see what happens when you get injured fingers in Jiu Jitsu. It’s not pretty. But it does not have to be that way. There is a simple technique a simple hack that can change all of that. It might take a while to adjust at first but once you do…all those aching and injured finger days will be behind you. And what’s better – your grip will strengthen. Check out this video where I describe how to do this hack. I know you are going to love it. Give it a try. Let me know how you go.
