hey guys ...I've been training BJJ on and off for a few months now and I think I might have to call it quits....

Thing is, I am a professional musician (guitarist) and my fingers are getting really stiff after training cos of all the gripping etc.. sure my grip is gonna get stronger ... but all the dexterity in my fingers for playing guitar is going!! This is a really tough call cos I LOVE training ....

Maybe I'll just stick to no gi training? there is less demand on the fingers there.. I train Muay Thai as well so maybe I'll just do that.....
But I want some ground work too dammit!!

Any ideas anyone??
