Ever been choked out unconscious in Jiu-Jitsu?
Or have you ever seen someone get put to sleep on the mats?
Well, what about seeing a training partner being put to sleep without a choke being applied at all?
That’s what happened to Craig Jones.
He shared the crazy story in a recent “El Segundo Podcast” episode:
I remember… I can’t say his name here.
One of the guys I was training with, he is in the Front Head…
I don’t have him in the Front Head, someone else has him in the Front Head. I’m just watching him train.This guy has him in the Front Head – and the guy just passes out.
So, the guy is in the Front Head. But not in the choke…
And he collapses to the ground and then wakes back up.
Craig and the rest of the team tried to convince the person that he just went out. But he wasn’t having it:
And we’re telling him, like: “Hey bro, you’ve just passed out. Maybe go see a doctor.”
And this person was insistent that the other guy had choked him unconscious – and that we were just lying to him.
That we were just joking around with him.I remember, there were like 5 or 10 of us, and we’re like: “Hey man, you just randomly collapsed during a roll. Maybe see a doctor?”
And he’s, like: “Nah, nah, nah. He must’ve put me to sleep. You guys are just f*cking with me.”
Craig concludes:
It’s wild how people will have a clear medical problem, or a potential medical problem, and try to ignore it.
