Hi All,

I’ve been doing brazillian JiuJitsu for the last 7 years and recently got a pretty bad shoulder injury that’s going to keep me out for a while. I will likely be on the mats again at some point but not sure when.

I’m looking for something else to do in the meantime (and maybe for the long term). If your dad was in the same position as me, would you advise him for or against skateboarding? And if for it, how long should I try it before i decide if its for me or not?

Thanks!

    Wear protection and do daily exercises that strengthen your overal physique. If you indeed practised Brazilian jiu-jitsu then you already know how to fall, therefore you’re less likely to be hurt by trivial stumbles that would hurt other beginners completely new to any kind of intensive sport.
