Knee injuries are very common in grappling and Jiu-Jitsu. Some of these injuries include damage to the meniscus (cartilage in the knees) and can occur from rotational forces.
The knees are a hinge joint, however also have a rotational component and if you don’t train the rotational component, then you will be more susceptible to injury.
Check out the three exercises you can include today to build stronger and more resilient knees.
The exercises include foot sweeps, isometrics, and banded exercises.
2-3 sets of 5-10 repetitions.

In this video, I answer a question from Kim, who was asking advice about how to get back to BJJ training after having an ACL reconstruction surgery in her knee.
The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is a ligament responsible for helping stabilize your shin bone relative to your knee and in many cases requires surgical repair if injured badly enough.
ACL Reconstruction can vary in duration and has. fairly lengthy rehab and recovery time. If you have had ACL surgery this video will be helpful, and if you’ve injured your knee and are wanting to safely get back to training BJJ, then this video has some important information to help your return to the mats.

If you’re dealing with stiff and achy knees, try this exercise.
Knee CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations) are a great warm up, cool-down, and generally a great mobility exercise.
