Are HIIT workouts good for building cardio for BJJ? That’s the basic question from out friend from Germany (who I will call Karl for the video). Karl is a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and wanting to build his cardio and is wanting to know if HIIT workouts are useful for doing this.

In this video I give my answer to this question based on my experience. But I will add a caveat to everything I say in the video. What I tell you in the video is my experience and opinion. Use it and put it together with your own experience. Because we are all different.

Getting back to the video. I share why I’m not the biggest fan of HIIT workouts during my normal flow of training and the only time I’ll actually add them in.

Oh and at the end I take you for a quick tour of the weight training area in my gym.

Hope the video is useful for you and your rolling.

Thanks for watching.

Balancing time on the mat and time in the gym can be a difficult one to achieve. There are only so many hours in the day after all. Here are my thoughts on how to balance the two, and how your priorities should change as you get older and have spent more time training.
