Injury Recovery for Martial Artists
4-Hour Hands-On Workshop
Does This Sound Like You?
- That ankle sprain that never healed right
- Wrists that ache after every grip
- Shoulders sore from arm bars & Kimuras
- Stiff neck from cranks or throws
- Knees that won’t let you kneel anymore
- Muscles so tight you feel “old” on the mat
You love training… but your body isn’t bouncing back like it used to.
The Hard Truth
Nagging injuries don’t just “go away.”
Left unchecked, they lead to:
- Slower recovery
- Loss of mobility
- Chronic stiffness & pain
- Arthritis, joint degeneration & eventual joint replacement
And worst of all? Having to give up the training and camaraderie that makes martial arts your way of life.
The Good News
It doesn’t have to be this way! This 4-hour workshop will give you the tools to:
- Recover faster from common martial arts injuries
- Restore mobility & flexibility
- Relieve pain with movement & breath
- Build resilience so you can train for decades to come
What You’ll Learn
- Recovery drills for ankles, wrists, shoulders, knees, neck & spine (and anything else you need help with!)
- Breathing techniques to release pain & tension
- Movement strategies to prevent arthritis & joint wear
- A First-Aid Kit of tools you can use immediately after training
What this Isn’t
Martial Arts First Aid Kit isn’t just some random breathwork and stretches thrown together by some wanna-be expert! This is the culmination of 34 years of Martial Arts training (Judo and Systema) along side over 25 years of Osteopathic Bodywork training and practice. This program is the sum total of experience, blood, sweat and tears…and more practice! These are martial arts principles applied to teach your body to heal. These principles have been field tested on Martial Artists, on First Responders, Military/Veterans and on people from all ages and walks of life. THEY WORK. And now we are bringing them to the Martial Arts community in an immersive workshop format.
