This is a quick sequence that I incorporate into my BJJ warm up.
Its a great way to wake up the shoulders and perform a “Jiu-Jitsu-Specific” technique as well.
Basing on the hand will activate the muscles in the shoulder and shoulder blade area while performing the sit-through technique.
Adding a bit of rotation to the body will provide a bit of a pec and chest stretch.

In this video, we go through a well-known sequence known as “The World’s Greatest Stretch.”
This is the variation that I use which has been extremely beneficial for my body when getting ready to train BJJ and also prior to lifting weights as well.

One of the essentials for BJJ and function in general is hip mobility.
Having restrictions in the hip and hip pinching can hinder normal daily function as well as multiple aspects of jiu-jitsu.
In this video, I give two basic variations on how to not only stretch the musculature around the hip but also increase space in the hip joint for better hip movement, decreased pain, and for better Jiu-Jitsu.

There are numerous factors that can attribute to injuries. The Americana submission rotates the shoulder into end-range external rotation which stresses the joint, muscles, and even bone.
Important things to work on are shoulder mobility and strength.
These are a few of the factors to help with injury-prevention and protecting the shoulder. This series of exercises are great for mobility and prime the musculature around the shoulder as well as assist with strength.

After close to 3 months of dealing with a finger injury (Mallet Finger), I returned to training with a few modifications.
I was still reluctant to use my hand as much as usual during training and was mindful about using the hand to grip as well as placement of my hand/fingers to keep the fingers protected. I also used a small splint on the finger covered by a neoprene finger sleeve which is made by “Luta Gear” called “Gripp Tap” for support.
I used the neoprene sleeve to protect my finger, to keep the splint in place, and also to ensure that the splint was covered during training to help protect my training partners.

In this video I take a step-by-step approach to improve the “Bump Sweep” for BJJ.
My training partner was having difficulty with generating the power needed for this sweep to more more effectively.
I demonstrate a stretch to open up the hips followed by a few really important techniques to help fire up the glutes and hips as well as to keep the knee safe when performing this technique in order to improve the effectiveness of the sweep.

A basic concept that is extremely useful for injury prevention by limiting overuse injuries, improving your BJJ, and improving longevity in the body is known as “rotating the tires.”
This is not anything new but its a great concept to think about as it can force your opponent into a position or side they aren’t as comfortable from, it will distribute the load on your body and help maintain symmetry, and it will limit overuse injuries.
Simple and effective. Give it a try!

Using this mobility drill can help with improving range of motion and decreasing stiffness in the shoulders and the mid and low back.
Make sure that you move within a comfortable range with is pain-free.
Adjusting the distance away from the wall will assist with amount of mobility/stretch.
Further distance from the wall = Less mobility requirement.
Closer to wall = more mobility requirement.

Dealing with an injury can truly limit so many things but working around your injury and staying active is important to allow a smooth transition back to the mats when you are healed and ready to return.
Here are a few things that I have been up to while injured:
1. Study BJJ Techniques
2. Strength Training/Supplementary Exercises
3. Train Around Your Injury If Able

In this video, I show some of my training session and how I train with one arm.
It has been a learning experience from knowing which positions I should try to implement and what to avoid during a training session.
It has been humbling but a great learning experience in developing my guard retention, mobility, and importance of control and position.
Thanks to my coach, Chewy, for getting some movement in with me during the roll and taking the time to teach and give me some advice during training!
