MARTIAL ARTS FIRST AID KIT
Rapid Recovery & Mobility Restoration for Martial Artists
For Judo • Jiu-Jitsu • Wrestling • Muay Thai • Karate • Kempo • Taekwondo • Kung Fu • Krav Maga • Kickboxing & More
Training Takes a Toll
If you’ve trained long enough, your body has the receipts.
The stiff shoulder that never fully recovered.
The ankle that still rolls too easily.
The wrist you tape before every class.
The neck that feels compressed after every hard round.
You’ve earned your stripes, your rank, your scars — but here’s the truth most martial artists don’t want to hear:
If you keep training like you’re 25, your body will make damn sure you don’t keep training much longer.
Going hard is necessary — rolling, sparring, clinching, getting after it…
But if you don’t pair intensity with recovery, you’re speeding toward the one thing you fear most:
Being forced off the mat.
The Adjustment That Keeps You Training for Decades
As you get older, recovery isn’t optional — it’s a skill.
And one that most martial artists never learn until it’s too late.
These 4-hour, hands-on workshops are designed to teach you how to:
Release old tension patterns
Restore mobility
Calm the nervous system
Move the way you used to: fluidly, powerfully, pain-free
Small tweaks. Small shifts.
Big results.
Common Injuries Addressed
Neck
Neck cranks & choke tension
Herniated or bulging discs
Chronic tightness & nerve irritation
Shoulders
Kimuras, Americanas, Omoplatas
Frozen shoulder, limited range
Postural strain from rolling or striking
Elbows
Arm bars & hyperextension
Pain at end-range flexion/extension
Lingering inflammation
Wrists
Wrist locks & compression strain
Carpal tunnel, forearm tightness
Difficulty gripping (gi, glove, weapon)
What You’ll Leave With
Noticeably increased range of motion
Reduced pain, stiffness, and achiness
Techniques you can use before, during, and after training
A first-aid toolkit that makes recovery part of your practice
These methods work instantly — no force, no pain, no risk.
How It Works (The Method Behind the Results)
The techniques in these workshop are based on:
Martial arts principles, and
Osteopathic Positional Release (Strain/Counterstrain)
This is the opposite of “grinding through pain.”
It’s about teaching your body how to let go.
You’ll experience how a small, precise positional shift can:
Release a locked joint
Calm the nervous system
Restore movement immediately
Reduce years of stored tension
Imagine your body unlocking instead of resisting.
This is the missing link in most martial artists’ training.

Important Note
This workshop does not repair:
Broken bones
Torn tendons, ligaments, or muscles
However — by releasing the protective tension patterns around old or new injuries, the body can:
Heal faster
Regain mobility
Reduce compensation
Dramatically decrease pain
This is how you get back on the mat faster — and stay there.
