Lend me your ear
Prevention or Crisis Care? It’s up to you....
I do remember the second time my ear received similar damage by way of a triangle in BJJ, and from there I spent 2 years figuring out how to hold steady compression on my ear for 4-7 days, and thought that if I could compress it before it fills, I would be spending more time on the mats and less time running around looking for solutions with a throbbing ear. Kind of amazing to think about how painful this condition can be, and realize it’s been happening for thousands of years.

The reality of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Cauliflower Ear
I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu almost 15 years ago. Since then, I've had 2 major incidents that have caused serious issues with my ears. My first experience was when I was a new white belt. Another white belt caught me in a tight triangle choke and of course being a new white belt, I had no idea how to escape and pulled my head out of the triangle with every bit of strength I had.
