How My Coach “Chewy” Got Back To Training After A Badly Broken Nose

Gary Berger — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 17:54:10 +0000

I got a question on Instagram from a BJJ practitioner who suffered a facial fracture and was nervous about getting back to training due to fear of re-injury.

My coach Chewy, (some of you may know him from the @Chewjitsu youtube channel as well as the @ChewjitsuPodcast has some experience with coming back from a facial injury.

Chewy actually got kneed in his nose quite a few years back, which resulted in a nasty fracture requiring surgery and some time off the mats. So I felt that Chewy would have a great take on how you can come back from this type of injury because he has done it and continues to train and win at a high level.

Hope you enjoy!

Gary Berger — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 16:00:08 +0000

My advice if someone tells you to stop training.

1. Have a questioning attitude (why should I quit)
2. What modifications or changes could help keep you safer on the mats while training.
3. Find a healthcare provider with knowledge of grappling.
