Talk to your surgeon: Although a total shoulder will relieve pain, it is susceptible to injury and dislocation. Brazilian jiu jitsu may place a lot of force across your shoulder joint at times. It would be best to discuss your restrictions with your treating surgeon.

Probably not: It would probably be best to avoid throwing people or being thrown to the grown after total shoulder replacement.
