If you have difficulty with maintaining your base and posture when in closed guard, this sequence of exercises can be really helpful in improving your position.

Even if you can’t sit back to your heels very well due to knee or muscle tightness, making this modification can be helpful!

I am in the process of finishing up my new course on how to “Improve Your Base In Closed Guard (How To Sit Back On Your Heels)” will be out soon!

The post Improve Your Base In Closed Guard (Even If You Can't Sit Back On Your Heels) appeared first on jitseasy.

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.
