I got a question asking “Moved to a new city and can’t develop my BJJ routine, how do I get back in the groove?”

This is something that I had to deal with early in my start in BJJ. Here’s what happened:

After about 2 years of training at my current gym, I found out that my gym was closing. My friend/training partner (Adam) and I weren’t exactly sure what to do next. We really didn’t know if we would keep training. There was definitely a period of uncertainty. I had been off the mats for a couple of weeks and didn’t really know if I wanted to train anywhere else.

We found Derby City MMA (my current gym) and went to try it out together. The gym environment and training was awesome, and it’s the current gym we train at to this day.

If we didn’t make time to seek out a new gym and good thing we were in it together and still wanted to train, we were able to find the right fit to keep training BJJ!

So with that said, I wanted to share a few ideas that might help you get back in the flow of things if you’re feeling stuck or can’t get back in the BJJ groove

In this video I discuss an important concept in improving performance and reducing injury risk known as “Load Management.”

What is load management you ask? Well its pretty much the “burden” or stress you put on your body.

There are 2 types of load that you can put on your body: External (how long you train…minutes and days) and the internal load (the physiological effects, or how your body feels).

Too much load can lead to injuries and too little load won’t stimulate the body enough to promote strength changes and won’t improve performance.
