BjjBrick Q&A 13 How to Avoid Cauliflower Ear 

Thanks for the advice! Going to get my ear drained tomorrow. 4 months and no issues. Switched gyms and on the third day (today) I got a small bump at the top inner part of my ear after rolling with some aggressive people. I'm going to also order headgear.

Wrestled for a decade with no cauliflower ear, he’s right in general don’t leave yourself compromised

It is actually a big deal. If you feel your ear is sore but not puffed up, you've got yourself a minor damage. The cartilage might've broken a little but with no fluid in it. No draining is needed, but it grows thicker. When there's a major damage and you get fluid in between the layers of your ear, you'll notice it immediately and the damage is IRREPARABLE. Drain and pack it RIGHT AWAY to minimize the swelling. But the ears just don't get back to their original shape. Always wear headgear and be safe.

Wearing headgear is a no brainer.enough said.If cauliflower ear ain't a big deal to go for it.

especially kelvin gastelum with the cauliflower ear

Check out ear splintz.. expensive but maybe you can get the putty used somewhere else for cheaper

I only got it on my inner circle of the ear..

Oh and if i say my ear is starting to hurt they will just rub on it haha..

Does it hurt less when u have cauliflower ears? Like calusses

I got it after my first BJJ class lol.. didn’t know what if was so it took me 2 weeks to get it looked at. Ended up having a doctor cut it to drain it and put in 2 stitches. Hoping it won’t look horrendous once I get them out 🤣

how to get cauliflower ear fast

I've never stepped foot in a mma or boxing gym, but I think of myself as a natural fighter and learn at home of RU-vid. I'm thinking of going to a mma gym to train and try to go pro, but I really don't want to get cauliflower ear and go through the process of draining it.

1:01 is that a Ben Askren photo?

are you doing bjj, are you gonna stick with it, is it in your genetics to get caulli.... then you gonna get it.

Just accept if you do mma/bjj/fighting in general your ears are gonna get fucked and move on.

Answer to first question. Dont do bjj

Go for the cauliflower ear. Everybody who sees it will think you are a total badass and not mess with you.

If you're worried about it, just keep being weak, and quit after two stripes on the white belt.
