If your martial training damages you so much that you could not defend yourself or lead a normal life is it worth it???

I ask because I saw an interview where a prominent BJJ player stated that after all his Jiu Jitsu training, he could not wash his hair.  That’s not healthy… (also this wouldn’t affect me)

Someone else I know who practiced Judo can not walk anymore due to the knee damage he suffered from the sport.

Many Boxers, including the greatest of all time, Muhammad Ali suffer from serious brain damage.

If you utilize performance enhancing drugs to improve your martial training but suffer a shorter life span or illness.

Is that worth it?

Be healthy, eat healthy, train healthy and live a long prosperous life!

See You On The Mats!!!
