Ouch. How long have you been training bjj/how long was it before you started getting those bulging neck discs? Are they reversible? I'm guessing you mean herniated discs

Went to try out a BJJ class the other day by a well known Brazilian teacher who has won many competitions. While I was there one of his senior students injured his knee while rolling and he was...

Coincidentally, have been watching the film 'Gracies and the birth of vale tudo' tonight and at 34 minutes in Ryan Gracie is in a fight with a family competitor and is bitten on the ear while having...

One idea I have is to buy a regular dumbell with collars where you can add/substract weight and put a bunch of duct tape around it until its thick handled- think that'd work? The above response is a...

I'm thinking it'd be nice to have a thick handled dumbbell to practice side press and windmills with (and maybe saxon side press). The one's in the Ironmind catalog start at 130$ a pair. Any tips...

I live in Vancouver and have given up on finding good, practical, authentic hsing i or bagua here and have studied with or checked out pretty much all the well known teachers of those arts here, or...

What is this "pork" object you speak of? My data banks tell me this does not fall into the category of "kosher", or acceptable food items. I'm looking forward to returning to Los Angeles shortly...
