![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | You should wait and rest. Jujitsu requires a lot of stress on the shoulders especially doing arm bars and taking falls. Rest up and make sure you are healed then go for it once you are 100%

![]() | Hardball: Thanks for the advice - unfortunately, I'll never be completely healed - the ligaments that attach my collar bone to my shoulder blade are completely ruptured, and 2 orthopedists have recommended against surgery. I'll always have some instability in my right shoulder. I'm thinking BJJ is not an option, sadly. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I had severe shoulder problems from swimming, powerlifting and ukeing. Rest will do it. I healed mine without surgery. You need a good physical therapist. I was healed by using resistance bands. Talk to a P.T. How old are you? If I can heal in my 40's, I'm sure a younger man can heal. Remember R.I.C.E. rest ice compress elevate

![]() | Thanks for the encouragement Hardball. I'm 43 - an old man. My plan is to see how far I can get it with PT, then there's a friendly BJJ gym near here and I'll go and check it out. Cheers. |

![]() | Hardball - that's a very good point, about falling properly. Thanks for pointing that out. I don't plan to give up mountain biking, and falling off comes with the territory. Soon as my shoulder feels solid, i'll give BJJ a try. One other thing - have you come across Indian Clubs? It's a kind of exercise that's supposed to be really good for shoulders. |
