Concussion Information & Policy
​

CONCUSSION ADVICE - WHAT TO LOOK FOR, WHAT TO DO & WHAT NOT TO DO!
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even a 'ding,' 'getting your bell rung,' or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.

What are the signs and symptoms of concussion?  Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or weeks after the injury.
If an athlete reports one or more symptoms of concussion listed below after a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body, s/he should be kept out of action the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion says s/he is symptom free and is cleared to return.

SIGNS OBSERVED BY COACHING STAFF  SYMPTOMS REPORTED BY ATHLETES
Appears dazed or stunned
Headache or 'pressure' in head
Is confused about what to do
Nausea or vomiting
Forgets an instruction
Balance problems or dizziness
Is unsure of score or opponent
Double or blurry vision
Moves clumsily
Sensitivity to light
Answers questions slowly
Sensitivity to noise
Loses consciousness (even briefly)
Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy or groggy
Shows mood, behavior or personality changes
Concentration or memory problems
Can't recall events prior to hit or fall
Confusion
Can't recall events after hit or fall
Just not 'feeling right' or 'feeling down'

Did you know?
  • Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
  • Athletes who have, at any point in the lives, had a concussion have an increased risk for another concussion.
  • Young children and teens are more likely to get a concussion and take longer to recover than adults.

Concussion Danger Signs   In rare cases, a dangerous blood clot may form on the brain in a person with a concussion and crowd the brain against the skull. An athlete should receive immediate medical attention if after a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body s/he exhibits any of the following danger signs:
  • One pupil larger than the other
  • Is drowsy or cannot be awakened
  • A headache that not only does not diminish, but gets worse
  • Weakness, numbness or decreased coordination
  • Repeated vomiting or nausea
  • Slurred speech
  • Convulsions or seizures
  • Cannot recognize people or places
  • Becomes increasingly confused, restless or agitated
  • Has unusual behavior
  • Loses consciousness (even a brief loss of consciousness should be taken seriously)

Why should an athlete report their symptoms?   If an athlete has a concussion, his/her brain needs time to heal. While an athlete's brain is still healing, s/he is much more likely to have another concussion. Repeat concussions can increase the time it takes to recover. In rare cases, repeat concussions in young athletes can result in brain swelling or permanent damage to their brain. They can even be fatal.
Remember: Concussions affect people differently. While most athletes with a concussion recover quickly and fully, some will have symptoms that last for days, or even weeks. A more serious concussion can last for months or longer.

What should you do if you think your athlete has a concussion?  If you suspect that an athlete has a concussion, remove the athlete from the activity and seek medical attention. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself. Keep the athlete out of involvement on the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion says s/he is symptom-free and it's okay for them to return.
Rest is key to helping an athlete recover from a concussion. Exercising or activities that involve a lot of concentration, such as studying, working on the computer or playing video games may cause concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse. After a concussion, returning to sports and school is a gradual process that should be carefully managed and monitored by a health care professional.

At 36E fitness & Exalt Jiu-Jitsu, we take concussions seriously. If you are suspected of having a concussion, you will be immediately removed from class/training. You will need a written clearance from a licensed physician to return to active training.  No Exceptions.

Self Defense Jiu-Jitsu

1/6/2023

Introduction

​Self-defense is a key aspect of Jiu-Jitsu training, and it is one of the primary reasons that people are attracted to this martial art. While Jiu-Jitsu is often associated with competition and sport, it is also an incredibly effective system for defending oneself in real-world situations.
 
One of the key benefits of Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense is its focus on technique over strength. In Jiu-Jitsu, smaller and weaker practitioners are able to defend themselves against larger and stronger opponents by using leverage, positioning, and timing to their advantage. This means that even if you are not physically imposing, you can still defend yourself effectively using Jiu-Jitsu.
 
Another key aspect of Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense is its emphasis on grounding and control. In a self-defense situation, it is important to be able to control an attacker and keep them from being able to continue their assault. Jiu-Jitsu provides a wide range of techniques for taking an attacker to the ground and maintaining control until help can arrive.
 
One of the most important things to remember when using Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense is to remain calm and focused. It is easy to get overwhelmed in a high-stress situation, but by staying calm and thinking clearly, you will be better able to use the techniques you have learned.
 
Overall, Jiu-Jitsu is a highly effective martial art for self-defense. Its focus on technique and control, as well as its ability to level the playing field for practitioners of all sizes and strength levels, make it a great choice for anyone looking to improve their ability to defend themselves.

Hello ! My name is Evan and I am the owner of 36E Fitness & Exalt Jiu-Jitsu. As a longtime workout enthusiast, I knew early on that I wanted to pursue a career in the fitness industry. I eventually became certified in both Personal Training and Wellness Coaching, to better assist my clients.

36E Fitness was created to counter the complaints that I frequently heard while working in the big box gyms. I decided I would design high end studio gyms to allow one on one and small group training. There will never be long contracts, additional fees or cancellation headaches at 36E.

As a trainer and coach, I find happiness in working closely with clients and helping them fulfill their goals. I am a firm believer that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Along with my partner and soulmate Jeanette Rilling, we strive to bring you the best experience we can. ​Our mission at 36E is achieving goals !
