About Jiu-Jitsu Medicine
A trustworthy source of information on health issues you grapple with.
Jiu-Jitsu Medicine is a combination of two passions. As a medical doctor, I'm often approached for medical advice in the BJJ community and the topics are either common or unique to combat sports. I started to write summaries about them to handout and then thought maybe others in the broad jiu-jitsu community would want to access this too. So Jiu-Jitsu Medicine is a space anyone can access that will have reliable medical information for those that grapple.
