JT & Joey tell their own stories of torso trauma and give the best approach to recovering from this terrible scourge of the grappling game.

  • Initial Treatment- Stabilise; Can you cough without pain?- Build back Range Of Motion- No sit up = No BJJ It can be frustrating as this injury will require patience as it takes months to fully settle down but your management and care using these tips will reduce the time off the mat.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
