Don’t Come Back To BJJ Quickly (Advice After 2 Knee Surgeries)

Gary Berger — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 19:04:41 +0000

In this video I share a cautionary tale of how I did permanent damage to myself from returning to hard BJJ training too quickly after a layoff from Jiu-jitsu. I’m sharing this because a lot of people (including my students) are coming back to their gyms after the lockdown and quarantine and I’d like to make sure they don’t injure themselves like I did years ago.

In the video I’ll talk about 2 of my layoffs that came from minor injuries and then led to bigger injuries when I tried to resume my normal Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, lifting and conditioning training schedule too quickly.

This situation was created by a poor mindset and so I hope that by bringing it light I can help steer you away from making the same mistake I made twice in my life.

So watch the video and take the lessons to heart if you’re coming back to training after the lockdown.
Hope the video is useful and thanks for watching!

How to Get Back into BJJ after 1 Year Off (This Part is Gonna Suck)

Gary Berger — Sat, 30 Dec 2017 02:00:07 +0000

Getting back into BJJ after a long layoff can be tough. For numerous reasons.

In this video I answer the question Jacob sent to me about his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

His question was

“I trained BJJ for about a year and then had to take a break for school reasons and it’s been another year since I’ve trained. I’ve forgotten a lot of passes, submissions and guard work. How do I get back into the swing of things going back to the gym?”

So in this video I share details about the 1st lay off I had as a Blue Belt and the frustrating problems I experience when I came back.

I discuss the most frustrating issue I dealt with which primarily stemmed from my identity that I had developed prior to leaving the gym.

I was really good, and when I came back to Brazilian Jiujitsu training with everyone in the gym. I had lost my step a bit and it was a bit of a blow to the ego.

So if you’re in the middle of a period of time off from BJJ or maybe you are getting back into BJJ after a time away. Hopefully this video is helpful!
