fnunderful - Sometimes my wife lets me porrada - AskrensFro - I've heard this is more common than you think due to chokes
I'm notorious for fighting in chokes and have a rep of "being hard to choke out." I bait my open neck so I can pass or set things up. I always joke that I can hold out in strangles because my head is so big and my brain so small, I have the Homer Simpson peanut brain.
Over the past two years or so my wife and those around me notice some cognitive changes that are not for the better. I'm becoming more forgetful, and my brain just pauses for moments at a time and I forget what I was doing.
We were curious if this was partly due to bjj. I stopped striking a couple years back as my reflexes have dulled considerably.
I'm curious if I have suffered something like this in the past
Old age and weed?
Only late 30s and no weed, booze, or drugs for the last 5 years and the symptoms continually get worse. I am type 1 diabetic so that may be a part of it too but my wife's colleague is a neurosurgeon and told me getting choked out daily is not good for the brain at all.

MarsMan- unfortunately we can't do anything to stop the stroke besides TPA (pretty much liquifies clots and prevent brain tissue damage; it can reverse some neurological deficits) it has to be given in 4 hrs from onset of stroke though.

I would be interested in seeing a thread on why you quit...
I need to get checked...I am starting to channel my Brad S when it comes to eating chokes...did I just pass out? Did blood just squirt out of my forehead...so what?
Risk factor- age 30+, sick within last month prior. Other issues such a ehler danlos and other physical rare anomalies in young healthy people.

Bro,
I dunno what is true, so many differing opinions.....but try keto maybe? My doc recommended it, my bro5her in law's doc does to. Others swear the opposite....who the fuck we gonna believe. I been watching vids featurin g a cardiologist pushing it and he was a vegan at one time.
Supposedly better for brain because of the a imal fats. Of course it also benefits insulin resistance, glucose and diabeties. Ive been bugging wife because she eats so much carbs, shit carbs especially, and we been dealing sith her mom who has alzheimers for last 10yrs. Anyway, one thing pushed about keto is it helps brain function, so maybe something to look into.
Take care

This thread has me rethinking some aspects of my training :(
I push my partners to smash me...especially attacking the neck. Lots of pressure and cutting/rotational force with forearm. And lots fighting off the chokes xtil you cant fukkin see.
OP,
Would you say lapel contributes more due to greater force applied and smaller surface area focucing the force.than say a forearm?

Thanks for the reply man.
Knowing there's nothing to do immediately is a little bit of a relief (from the responsability), but a little unsettling as well.
Yep, only thing is call an ambulance as soon as possible.

Sounds like how I used to train. Definitely different now. Tournaments I assume most will still vigorously try to get out but practice is practice. Jist being comfortable in a position doesnt take away risks.
I get bad headaches almost all the time after training. I have to see a dr about it but this is one of the things I worry about. I also let myself get deep into chokes and fight out (or tap). It's like my hobby inside of my bjj hobby. Never went out though. If I can't train hard smashing bjj I don't even want to do it.
Steroids can also will increase blood pressure which can also cause hemorrhagic strokes. Testosterone as well as epo can cause polycythemia will increase hemoglobin and hematocrit this increasing clotting but again though, the vast majority we are seeing are from tears in the carotid and vertebral arteries.
For the vast majority of people isn't it safer and better to tap out once you're put in a tight submission hold and you feel the pressure? I get it's different for competitors and at times during training you want to push yourself or your opponent, fight out of a submission, etc. but most of the time it's kinda silly, just tap and reset, you were 99% of the way to getting submitted, why risk your health?

For me my consciousness outlasts many guys grips, and I'm great at playing possum. There's something about letting someone try to choke you and not be able to that mentally defeats them and sets the tone for the rest of the match.

I do a diet that's extremely close to keto because I'm type 1 diabetic and it helps keep my glucose levels in check. It's not a perfect keto due to me needing carbs especially after a grueling training session or workout.
Thank you though I appreciate you Sarge, for real. Next time I'm back in the island I'm gonna make a trip to train with you and of course if you end up in LA hit me up for some food or training. Also got some fire arms safety shit I'd like to pick your brains on

I've always been paranoid about tapping from a choke before going out completely.
When I've caught people with chokes and they've gone unconcious, it's not apparant that they're 'out'. They don't shut their eyes and go limp right away. Often times their eyes are still open.
Luckily I've had the wherewithall to check to see if they're still there instead of just squeezing.
I'm not putting my health in the hands of someone who may or may not have the state of mind to adequately protect me.

Let us know how it turns out. I’ve always played that game too of possum as well. I didnt even feel like the choke was a threat when my artery tore in my neck but my buddy has a strong x choke grip from the bottom. But its better to just tap when choke is in.

Yeah, i would tap to pressure now. Face smash or whatever. The torquing of the neck is risky even if it's somewhat risky.
jv071481 - I think everyone assumes more caused by steroids then anything else. I've worked in emergency medicine for 10 yrs. Right now Chris and I have been researching it. Most are caused by dissections (artery tears in the neck) being sick the month before, over 30 yrs old has something to do with it but rarely involves illicit drug use.
I haven’t had a chance to listen to this vid yet, but I know a woman who this happened to and I was told that women are more susceptible to the artery tear in the neck

I think there might be truth to that. Out of almost 70 now, 4 of them are female which seems like a high percentage for how many do jiu jitsu in comparison to guys.
