I completely tore my ACL a couple of months ago and have been out of BJJ ever since. PT has been going well and my range of motion and strength are much better.
My PT cleared me to do gentle BJJ drilling when I feel ready (still working on being able to sit on my heels before I try this…haven’t been able to do that since the injury).

Anyone out there go fully back to BJJ without surgery after an ACL tear? How did it go? Any lasting problems?

Surgery sounds so painful and it takes such a long time to recuperate…I’m wondering if I really need to do that to get back to where I was before snapping my ACL. I’d love any feedback from those who went non-surgical OR those who opted for surgery on how BJJ is going.

Thanks!
