Used to do BJJ. Then this happened:



Was on bottom, attempted a gogoplata when my partner rolled his weight across my body right before he was about to tap. Snapped my femur like a baseball bat. And yes, it hurt A LOT.

Now I'm part titanium.

Any tips, ideas, motivational strategies any of you fellow fighters can offer?
BJJ is more mental than anything. Watch some of the Marcelo Garcia instructional videos. That guy knows his omaplata better than anyone I've seen. Watch some of the other videos, get different techniques to try. Always have a bag of tricks. If one sweep doesn't work, make sure you know 2 or 3 others. If you keep getting tapped by one move, learn the counter and the flow from the scramble.
