In my opinion, one of the most important aspects of being effective at jiu-jitsu is to have solid cardiovascular endurance. There is nothing worse than tiring out in the middle of a roll and getting crushed by your training partner or worse at a tournament because you “ran out of gas.”

If you want to get better at cardiovascular endurance for BJJ, then the obvious thing to do is to train jiu-jitsu.

But what if you can’t get to the gym? Well then this is where you have to look at other training tactics such as solo drilling.

I love using a heavy bag to work on guard passing drills for BJJ-specific endurance, timing, and muscle memory.

The type of cardiovascular activity you perform should also mimic or simulate the type of tournament you want to compete it.

If you are further out of competition, or have not trained in quite some time and feel out of shape, then check out some of my favorite cardio activities such as running or using the Airdyne bike along with interval sprint work to build up your endurance.

This movement sequence has been a useful flow drill for Jiu-Jitsu to activate your hips through the bridge and hip escape sequence followed by a shoulder roll.

This sequence has been useful to warm up the hips and back and is a great technique to practice guard retention or with getting more comfortable with inverting.

Make sure to start slow and controlled with the movement. It is important to avoid rolling on your neck by tucking the chin and rolling over the shoulders and upper back.

Getting into the 90-90 position is very important as it is a great way to work on hip mobility necessary for general mobility and getting into certain guard positions in BJJ.

I discovered that using a wall can be both a great way to isolate the hips and limit compensation. Using these techniques as part of a cool down or accessory mobility work is crucial in providing the necessary hip motion thats needed in guard retention in BJJ.

Also, the more mobility in the hips, the better the positioning of the legs and the less stress on the knees. Better hip position equals less stress and injury to the knees.

Give this a try while performing all of the movements to comfort.

Holding 5-10 seconds per movement into external and internal hip rotations at 5 repetitions and then alternating positions and performing the other side. 2-3 sets total.

Whether you are going for a takedown, defending a takedown, passing the guard, or even when exploding to a new position, the feet are integral in being effective in all of these tasks.

In this video I share a multi-faceted approach on how to deal with foot pain.

1. The video demonstrates a way to stretch and reduce tension in the plantar fascia (the tissue under the foot).

2. Mobilize and improve range of motion in the ankle joint.

3. How to stretch the calf muscles.

This is a solid warm-up (shorter hold times and more dynamic stretching) or a great cool down to decrease tightness, pain, and stiffness after a tough training session (longer stretches and hold times).

This one tip will make your recovery more effective and reduce tight muscles as well as stiff joint.

The key is to perform your recovery work within 15 minutes or less after you have completed your work out. The reason is simple, the muscles are still warm and more easily stretched out and moved.

Doing this will keep the muscle from getting so tight and will make your recovery more comfortable and more effective.

Muscle imbalances occur not only in BJJ, but from life in general. Most of the things that we do throughout the day places us in a forward head and rounded shoulders posture as well as a bent trunk along with bent knees and hips.

A great way to think about muscle symmetry is to stretch the areas that are tight (neck muscles, pec, front of the hips, and hamstrings), while strengthening the areas that may not be activated as much (back of the shoulders and shoulder blade musculature, glutes, and outer hips).

These are just general guidelines and just because muscle are tight does not mean they are strong and vice versa, muscles that are stretched/loose are not necessarily weak, but these are just general guidelines so take this information with the idea that there are variables and not absolutes when discussing posture and muscle symmetry.

Here are a few of the videos I recommend but there are plenty on my page and other pages so feel free to explore and see what works!
Also, check out my e-Book for healthy shoulders, which is a good place to get some solid stretches and strengthening exercises as well!
