I'm a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt teaching out of Movement Martial Arts (www.movementmartialarts.com.au) in Macquarie Park, NSW Australia. I have been on the mats for more than 10 years, training, competing and teach. As such, I have suffered pretty much most of the injuries that come as part of the package of being a lover of the grapple arts.

​

Having gone through so many physical issues, and seeing my students and fellow grapplers suffer through the same, it occurred to me there was a real lack of available information for grappler's health. The aim is to provide some solid information here that you may find helpful to keep you training.

​

I have visited plenty of physiotherapists (a couple of which asked if BJJ was like karate), and know how important it is to receive quality advice. This is why I have also included a list of BJJ experienced physiotherapists, in case you wish to visit a professional for further help.

​

My main goal with Happy Grappler, is for my fellow grapplers, to be able to train in the the sport that we all love so much, for a lifetime :)
