Join Sarah for a Yoga for BJJ chat and talk about hips in relation to bjj

The “90-90” position is one that I have found to be one of the most beneficial for Jiu-Jitsu.

Simply, it checks A LOT of boxes. This position can improve internal and external rotation, protects the hips, knees, and even the low back from injury, and will make your S-Mount in BJJ better in your ability to safely get into the position, maintain position, and go for submissions from the position.

In this video we work primarily on the back leg which can be focused on working the Internal Rotation component of hip mobility.

We start with a basic stretch, then a muscle activation exercise, and end with the most difficult portion where we hover the hip and not only activate the muscle around the hip, but get a dynamic stretch as well.

This position is also one that I delve into in my new course “Grappling-RX – Optimized Hips.” Find out more about my brand new course at https://www.grapplingrx.com/optimizedhips

Presenting the 4 stretches every jiu jitsu players hips are craving. You might not know yours are, but trust us – they are.

Contrary to jiu jitsu, don’t go too hard when trying out these poses. Only go as far as it feels slightly uncomfortable, but no joints are breaking, no ligaments being torn. It will get easier with time and consistency.

Train smart – Fight Forever

Here’s a relaxing way to open up your hips while moving in sync with your breath.

Sebastian filmed this video in 2014, but the stretches are timeless. If you do jiu jitsu, your hips need them to counter all the folding and stacking your body endures.

Give it a go, and don’t forget to breathe deeply ?
