I was wondering how your joints are holding up after years of joint locks and submissions. Are there no side effects, do they hurt constantly, are they even stronger now, etc.?
from basketball to baseball to football to mma my knees are fucked pretty good, never had any serious ligament damage but they hurt everyday oh well. and im only 19
My wrists & knuckes snap crackle & pop, my neck is pretty much permanently stiff & sore and my shoulders ache (I think partially because of a pushbike stack when I was a teenager too).
... and I'm still doing my Judo, BJJ & MT. The possibility of a brain injury has crossed my mind......
I think if your tapping out when ur suppose to... you shouldnt really receive too much joint damage from sub grappling.
I mean the idea is to tap out BEFORE it hurts to the point of damage , right? at least thats what ive been doing...
just every once in a while if somebody cranks a sub too hard.. itll be a lil tender for the rest of the night and the next day it's 100%. and that is rare
if you notice.. a lot of the ppl here who are saying their joints are messed up is also due to other activities. Although i can see wrestling taking a toll on the knees and other areas
