What is wrong with BJJ and should I do it?


  1. Time commitment: BJJ requires significant time and dedication to become proficient. Achieving higher belt ranks and mastering the techniques often takes years of consistent training and practice. This can be a drawback for individuals with limited time or other commitments.

  2. Injury risk: Like any combat sport, BJJ carries a risk of injuries. Joint locks and chokes can potentially cause damage if not executed properly or if practitioners do not tap out in time. Training intensity and sparring can also lead to strains, sprains, and other injuries.

  3. Physical demands: BJJ is a physically demanding sport that can be challenging for individuals who are not in good physical condition. It requires strength, flexibility, endurance, and agility. The physical demands of the sport may discourage some people from participating.

  4. Lack of standardized curriculum: BJJ does not have a universally standardized curriculum, which means that the quality and consistency of instruction can vary. Some practitioners may find it difficult to navigate the different teaching methodologies and training environments when starting out.

  5. Limited emphasis on striking and self-defense: BJJ primarily focuses on ground fighting and submission techniques. While it is effective in grappling scenarios, it may not provide as much training in striking techniques or self-defense situations where standing techniques are more relevant.

  6. Cost: Training in BJJ typically involves joining a gym or academy, which can come with membership fees and sometimes additional costs for equipment, uniforms (gi), and competition fees. This financial commitment may be a barrier for some individuals.

  7. Joint and muscle injuries: BJJ involves various joint locks, submissions, and throws, which can put stress on the joints and muscles. Improper technique, overexertion, or inadequate warm-up can lead to strains, sprains, dislocations, and other injuries.

  8. Skin infections: Close physical contact and the presence of sweat on the training mats create an environment conducive to skin infections. Conditions like ringworm, staph infections, and bacterial infections can be transmitted if proper hygiene practices, such as regular washing of the gi and showering after training, are not followed.

  9. Bruises and abrasions: Due to the nature of the sport, participants may experience bruising and abrasions from contact with the mat or from grappling with opponents. While these injuries are usually minor, they can be a part of regular training.

  10. Concussions: Although not as common as in striking-based combat sports, head injuries, including concussions, can occur in BJJ. Accidental falls, sweeps, or submissions that involve impact to the head can pose a risk. It is important to train with caution and be mindful of potential head injuries.

  11. Overtraining and fatigue: BJJ training can be physically demanding, and pushing oneself too hard without adequate rest and recovery can lead to overtraining syndrome. Overtraining can result in decreased performance, chronic fatigue, increased risk of injuries, and weakened immune function.


BJJ training like any sport, it has its own set of advantages and disadvantages that can vary depending on individual preferences and goals.
