I used to roll BJJ with a 50-ish year old man. As a teenager he suffered a debilitating car crash and hip replacement at the time, resulting in his having a cane until his second replacement circa 2020. This allowed him to walk cane free and practice marital arts.
The technology is there for hip replacements, it would seem.
- zabzonk 3y agoas i said, hip replacement normally works very well. my 80+ mother had two after two bad falls, both worked really well physically, but she went off the rails mentally after the second. apparently there is a theory (sorry, can't find link) that doing surgery like replacements releases a lot of fat into the bloodstream that can drive you nuts. that seems to be what happened to my mum. i don't suggest anyone should not get a replacement based on my non-medic and probably wrong information.

- financypants 3y agoPracticing marital arts is serious business, this is surprising!
- exhilaration 3y agoVery true, functional hips are very important in the marital arts!
- JoBrad 3y agoYou just have to make sure your spouse is ok with you practicing with other folks.
- inglor_cz 3y agoThat would be extramarital arts, sir.
