This drill is taxing but will take your gripfighting abilities to the next level.

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.

Sometimes to create the openings for a submission or sweep (or even just the ability to stand up) you need to get your opponent moving and unstabilised. This is one of my favorite drills to create that movement – it’s a great warmup drill with a lot of applications.
