Kinstretch for Jiu Jitsu: Improving Overhead Motion
•••••••••••••••••••••••
Having overhead motion is not a movement that is typically emphasized for jiu jitsu but that does not mean it is not important. Many athletes will perform supplementary strength and conditioning techniques involving overhead movement (strict press, snatch etc…) without the necessary joint prerequisite to do so. The only problematic movements are those performed that the athlete cannot do without compensation.
.
One common sport specific position where overhead motion is needed is holding onto a single leg after an opponent sprawls.
.
Are you lacking overhead motion? Do you struggle with overhead exercises or do you have to give up after an opponent sprawls?
.
Check out my Online Kinstretch class on “Overhead Mobility”. This class is specifically designed to address your overhead motion.

Kinstretch is a movement enhancement system that develops maximum body control, joint resilience, flexibility and usable ranges of motion.

Online Kinstretch for Jiu Jitsu takes concepts from @kinstretch and applies it directly to jiu jitsu to help improve your joints for grappling. There are several follow along classes to help your jiu jitsu.
