There should be a seminar for the severity of any kind of injury in this sport. Maybe get a medical pro to have a friendly and informative talk with all the participants. This may change people's experience and make the sport more likable. Also they might come back after an injury because they were oriented into recovery or where to go and how to do it : ) .
Agreed! But it's a two way street, whenever I talk about prehab or risk avoidance to beginners most people (especially the younger ones) don't take it seriously until it happens to them. It's just one of those human things to not worry about something until it happens to you. There's also the crowd that think injury is always a risk in the sport and they rather have a more open rule set and allow poor technique to be done if it means a score during practice. Then there's also the issue that there are a lot of licensed people out there that are not very good at what they do or give poor advice. I personally have gone through a lot of bad Physical Therapists before finding one that figured out what my problems were and helped me treat the root cause. -Anthony
Well said. Didn't think of this, everybody does have a different outlook and experience. Mine was unforeseen and impacted me horribly because it made me loose 6 months of work, and my mobility has been extremely limited and now have a high chance of terrible arthritis in my 40s. Thats life though in the martial arts: /@@tatamitalk
In BJJ definitely, but in a Judo context, especially more modern sport Judo falling with / on top your opponent is basically a requirement and is often encouraged very early on to beginners in many clubs. Having people try to finish throws standing especially for recreational and self defense focused practitioners makes a lot more sense and mitigates a lot of the chances of serious injuries occurring. Whether or not beginners with an intention of training for sport should start that way or not is up for debate imo. - Anthony
Thank you for the video! Do you have any tips or advice on incorporating physical therapy exercises into your routine when you're already tired from training and everything else?
you should be working with your physical therapist since everyone needs are different. In my case, I was able to incorporate a lot of things into my warmup and cool down routines such as forearm planks and side planks, Copenhagen holds etc. There are some other exercises such as assault bikes and RDL's that I was just able to incorporate into my regular workout sessions. - Anthony
You did not ask me, but Strenghten your core and lower back to protect your back, Strenghten your legs , and glutes to protect your hips and knees, Strengthen your neck and shoulders to protect your head. And make sure you havce solid ankle mobility and strengh because this will dictate wether your body ends up in the right position for a throw, counter, ect.... NOT MEDICAL ADVICE JUST STUFF IVE BEEN THROUGH AND LEARNED AFTER 15 YEARS, AND WISH I KNEW EARLIER.

Watch Danaher talk about catastrophic injuries. Uncontrolled jumping stunts is the main source of this.

Just ban Tani Toshi and lookout for lazy judoka who use their weight to throw inexperienced practitioners @@tatamitalk
