In the second episode of The Jiu-Jitsu Safety Manual, Dr. Mike Piekarski delves into the critical topic of arm injury prevention and treatment in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The discussion begins with an overview of common arm injuries, including shoulder, elbow, and wrist issues.  We explain the mechanisms behind these injuries, such as posting during takedowns and the rotational force of techniques like the kimura.
