Any recommendations for sports that get you in shape but are less injury prone? Boxing was perfect but got a concussion a few years ago and can't pursue it at the level I want to anymore.

I wanted to. A friend of mine whos done it for years said I should expect ligament injuries, “it’s just the reality with different partners at different skill levels and temperaments” You tried?

For less than a year nature the pandemic shut that down and haven’t been back for other reasons. Now I just have a home gym. It was very enjoyable, but demanding time and energy wise. Also definitely hard on the joints.

Do any sport regularly for a long time and injuries occur. It’s the flip side of adaptation. To min. injury I reckon multi sports simultaneously is best. For sole sport, BJJ isn’t bad; “the gentle art”. Just nope out of riskier parts (standup, jacked 20 somethings), Plus, you quickly learn to protect yourself.

Its all about learning to express when someone is going to hard and being OK with walking away from the middle of a roll, as well as tapping early and often. But even so you just never know. My first open mat with Covid I rolled with a white belt who ripped an ankle lock from z guard, I was out for 9 months.
