The specific injury area I want to address today is that involving the neck. Neck injuries are actually very common in BJJ. We are always getting put in positions that put a strain on the neck, whether itâs a headlock, we are inverted, or even getting stacked. That part of our body takes a beating in this sport. Now obviously the neck is a vital anatomic junction.
Legal Moves. BJJ is a more violent style of grappling because it permits moves that more directly threaten damage to the joint. Choking, arm bars and ankle locks are three common examples of this kind of move. In wrestling, some of these moves are illegal and result in penalties or disqualification.
