Normal to be sore after BJJ?

After reading this thread, the psoriasis and bjj thread, and the arthritis and bjj thread, I think I just convinced myself to quit training.

I don't need to be able to choke a mythical attacker this badly. I already have a purple belt and a bad back, time to call it a wrap. Phone Post 3.0

I'm 30 and will give it a hard 5 years and hopefully retire without injury. Seems like a ton of guys get broken down. I also train in MMA and might fight a few more times. Hopefully nothing bad happens. I love it too much to quit now while I still have some prime athletic years. Phone Post 3.0

HGH or TRT

there's a reason all pro athletes are on one or the other or both.

I dont need to choke a mythical attacker either.

Self defense is actually not on my list of priorities in training.

I just fucking love it.

Number two sounds like you have a rib out of place.

You'd get sore if you just sat on your ass for ten years too, so might as well be sore and have a black belt too. Phone Post 3.0

Have not been on the mats for close to year

When I was training I was sore after every class

The worst and only chronic injury I had was neck pain do to cervical herniated discs

Other nagging injuries that hurt at one time or another

Ribs were always sore

Wrists were sore

Hurt my knee once and it swelled up

Bunch of scrapes/cuts

Ring worm


Now that I have not trained my body feels much better and I ask myself is it worth it to return?

I am a hobbyist purple who trained 2-3 days a week.

I miss it like crazy!
