How To Fix Your Stiff "BJJ Knees"

June 26, 2020 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In this video I answer a Youtube question about a knee injury that has limited the amount of bend in the knee. I discuss any whether there are some dangers in training without full knee motion.

I also talk about a few positions to avoid as well as position to use if you have limited knee bending and a really effective technique that can help improve knee bending (aka knee flexion).

Using this mobility drill can help with improving range of motion and decreasing stiffness in the shoulders and the mid and low back.

Make sure that you move within a comfortable range with is pain-free.

Adjusting the distance away from the wall will assist with amount of mobility/stretch.

Further distance from the wall = Less mobility requirement.

Resisted Wall Angel

October 24, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

The Wall Angel is a great exercise for general motion and correction of impaired posture/tightness that may come from training Jiu-Jitsu or excessive sitting.

Adding a resistance component is a great way to combine strength, mobility, and postural correction all into one technique.

This video includes three variations with the traditional Wall Angel, Resisted Wall Angel, and the modification to the Floor Angel with Resistance.

These are great to implement as a warm up, rehab, or as a general maintenance exercise. Sets and Reps: 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions.

*** Check out my new warm-up series that was created specifically for grapplers!

The warm-up includes dynamic movements, stretches, range of motion exercises, muscle activation exercises, and a bunch more content that I have used myself and with my training partners to allow for an effective and useful warm-up to keep you healthy and training.
