Hip Mobility Drill for BJJ – Lift Offs #shorts

Hip Mobility Drill For Jiu-Jitsu: Part 2

90-90 Leg Lifts

Begin in the 90-90 Position.
Move into your end-range by moving your chest towards the leg you are focused on, and then slightly move away to allow for some available movement of the hips.

Keep a braced and stiff upper torso and focus on actively lifting the front leg 5-10 reps of 5 seconds. Then perform actively lifting the back leg 5-10 reps for 5 second holds.

This will help close the gap between passive hip motion (the ability to move your leg without using your muscles) and active hip motion (using your muscles to move the hip through or to a specific motion).

The more active control you have over your hips, the better function and capability, and ultimately control you will have over your joint.

Loosen Tight Hips With This Quick Movement Flow (Great For BJJ)

Gary Berger — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 20:30:04 +0000

This video clip was taken from the update to my Grappling RX – Optimized Hips Course. You can find the full video included in the course at https://www.grapplingrx.com/optimizedhips.

This basic movement flow is called a “Bear Sit” to “90-90” position and is a quick and simple hip opener for tight hips and muscles.

As a dynamic movement, you are not only stretching the hips and surrounding muscles but you are engaging the muscles and getting the areas primed for movement. It literally takes a few minutes to notice a change in the mobility of your hips.

These are movements that are from the Kinstretch course that I took and is a joint training system that I am not only trained in but use regularly to improve my own hip health.

I will be offering in-person and on-line classes coming up soon.

Fix Tight and Pinchy Hips With This Weird Technique

Gary Berger — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 20:11:44 +0000

Hip tightness and pinching in the hip joint can be a limiting factor in movements such as squatting or when getting into specific jiu-jitsu positions as well.

I started using the “Bear Crawl” position with a band to address this issue. This technique is great because it addresses the hip joint on multiple levels.

First the joint moves through its available range actively, then the mobilization band is used to focus on the hip capsule addressing the “joint glide,” as well as to create additional space in the hip joint to give clearance from the tissue pinching up into the capsule, and third the muscles surrounding the hip are activated allowing the muscles to fire and wake up which provides for a more complete and thorough technique that actually works well and quickly.

Here is a link to some monster bands that work pretty well https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAPYKRG/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=jiujitsupt-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=c65b1520d9eaf4232acf670de775d708&creativeASIN=B00NAPYKRG
