Thanks for the ideas for how to pass the ‘down’ time. Knock on wood, in my 1 plus year of BJJ, worst injuries kept me out only a couple weeks (strained MCL), and I was too depressed to go to class. These ideas helped me see a better way for fighting the moody blues.

But, Caleb, I have one question – how fast did the soccer moms at the park call the cops and try to get your name on the local sex offender registry? LOL

[...] March 3, 2009 Inspired by Caleb’s post (and the comments) at Fightworks podcast about his Gi-Smell Pull Ups, I decided to get back into training way before my cast comes off, which comes off this week Friday [...]

Caleb you are not the only weirdo in the park looking silly, I am the weirdo doing shots up and down the track, because leg work is all I can do. The elbow is still not close to being better.

As far as attending class while injured, I am there just as much as I am when I train. I sit on the side, pay attention to moves, and during live rolling sessions I coach and sometimes Heckle. I can’t help that, its the NY’er in me.

Feel better Caleb.

Trey that is a great idea for an upcoming BJJ Poll!

When I separated my shoulder last year, I went back to class in less than two weeks. I was very limited but I did everything I could including one-armed push-ups. My instructor also rolled with me stating that I might someday need to defend myself with one arm injured.

My question to you and the mighty 600,000 is whether they attend class when they’re injured to observe and/or instruct?
