How to Roll While You’re Injured to Recover & Improve in BJJ

How to Roll While You’re Injured to Recover & Improve in BJJ

From Chewjitsu

March 17, 2026

Getting injured is something that will eventually happen to every BJJ practitioner. So how you work around it is important.

There are times to take off completely and just rest, but there are also alternatives that will allow you to keep rolling while you recover. In this video I share an idea that I use anytime I have a small injury that's not too serious.

Doing this has allowed me to heal up and recover while avoiding making the injury.

Word of caution! The strategy I talk about in this video requires some discipline and intentionality.

But I hope it helps ya.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
