Hong Kong’s biggest BJJ, or brazillian Jiu-jitsu, tournament was held on September 5, 2015. I, Dr. Bluestein, was lucky enough to be a part of the event team. I took part in ensuring all participants were registered and their weight was on point for the competition. I also helped with the overall operations of the event in a supporting role.
I love to see athletes participating at the highest level. I observed some minor injuries that occurred during the competition, such as bloody noses, contusions, sprains and strains that were handled by the St. Johns Ambulance team. There was one major injury, a dislocated elbow elbow, suffered by a fellow team mate. He is doing well now and is recovery is ongoing.
I noticed some competitors complain of neck pain, for more information on reducing neck pain during your BJJ (jiu jitsu) , Muay Thai, MMA, or wrestling, click here.
