I recently saw an interview with professional Jiu-Jitsu athlete and member of “B-Team,” Nicky Ryan. Nicky Ryan and “The B-Team” were on episode 363 of @lexfridman podcast and they were discussing his knee injuries. Nicky explained his rationale for not fixing his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and how he has continued to train without this ligament in the knee.

I go through some ideas on the purpose of the ACL, my recommendations on whether you should have surgery to repair your ACL, some myths and facts about what can happen to your knee if you do or don’t get the ACL fixed, ideas on BJJ longevity, rehab, and prehab.

I also discuss a research article with some interesting ideas on what happens to your knee when you sustain an injury such as the ACL and whether having surgery can decrease the risk of arthritis in the knee.

Here is the link to the article that was mentioned: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7083996/
