In this video I show another version of a way to decompress your spine which is a way to relieve tension and tightness in the low back area.

All you need is an exercise ball and a belt.

Hold times can vary but try 30-45 sec hold with a 15-30 sec rest for about 5 minutes to start.

Here is a link to another version of this technique using a monster band and a belt:

Low Back Decompression (With A Band)

Gary Berger — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 16:30:01 +0000

If you get tension, tightness, or pain in the low back whether its from a tough training session, lots of sitting, or even if you have a demanding standing job, then you ay benefit from this technique.

I received a question about how to relieve low back tightness after BJJ class which inspired this video…and if you are someone that doesn’t have a bunch of equipment then this is perfect.

Spinal decompression simply creates a little pressure relief in the spine which can alleviate the feeling of tightness or tension in the low back and the surrounding muscles.

I recommend using a monster band (thick rubber band) around the hips and in this video I used my belt to anchor the band to the wall.

Hold times for the exercise can be 3-5 minutes for 1-2 sets.

This is best performed as a cool down or on a recovery day.

Roll Longer As A BJJ White Belt With These Simple Tips

Gary Berger — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 18:21:31 +0000

www.Chewjitsu.net

How to roll longer as a BJJ White Belt is something that I get asked all the time. Both from my students and from my Chewjitsu group online.

I remember this being an issue for me. Even though I was a young wrestler, I still struggled with being able to roll for a long period of time. I found that I just gassed out so quickly and it was frustrating.

One of the reason I has such a problem when I tried to roll longer as a BJJ White Belt was that I didn’t breathe correctly. It was really bad at times.

So bad in fact, that one of the commands my coach had drilled into my head was simple, “BREATHE!”

Yeah, that’s right. Not only did I drill my techniques but I also had to drill my breathing. When he yelled breathe. I was take a very deliberate breath.

In addition to breathing. Another thing that someone roll longer as a BJJ White Belt is to be more conscious of when they are using energy. Often I’ll see white belts being very tense and using LOADS of energy, yet nothing is happening. Learning when you can conserve energy and when you need to expend it is one of the cornerstones to becoming more efficient.

In this video I share some details on both of these tips.

If you’re trying to roll longer as a BJJ white belt. Listen to the tips and give them a try!

Thanks!
-Chewy
