🥋 Is Jiu Jitsu Good or Bad for You?

What up Flowrollers, it’s a great day to avoiding eye contact with anyone who looks like they've taken a judo class before.

Let’s get to it, slap-and-bump 👊🏻

THE MAIN EVENT 🚨

Is Jiu Jitsu good or bad for your body, long term? There was a big debate on this topic over at r/bjj yesterday.

We all know that grappling can be tough on the body. From twisted fingers to bruised ribs, everyone who seriously trains Jiu Jitsu has some war stories.

I think this post summed things up well: yes, you are going to take a beating from Jiu Jitsu. But as you get old… you’re going to take a beating from something, even if that “something” is sitting around doing nothing. Let’s get those crooked toes and tweaked necks on our own terms.

DEAL OF THE DAY 💰
