Shoulder injury/surgery/return to Bjj

Cousin it

Hi all,

I used to train in UCD with Colm O'Reilly and the lads and a little bit with Dave Jones in Loughlinstown. This would have been about 4 or 5 years back.

Long story short had both shoulders dislocated in the same session (one way worse than the other) by some well executed arm bars.

Now, have been nursing this injury ever since (sometimes dislocates in my sleep or when I throw the ball in sports and as you can imagine I can't play most semi/full contact sports as a result).

I've been to see a consultant and had my MRI Arthrogram and I'm going to be getting keyhole surgery to get three pins to hold it all together. I asked his advice on return to MMA and he said yes to Bjj but no to Thai boxing. Now I'm not seeking medical advice but am just seeing has anyone been through similar and come back to fighting after this or similar surgery?


Right that's the main query out of the way, my other one is only a quickie: UCD still rocking a jitz/MMA club? Did a google search and found a boards thread from 2007 but no results for, "UCD MMA BJJ" so I did try haha

Thanks in advance

UCDMMA is still training, just not during the summer. We should be back in September.
