If you’ve spent much time under heavy people in side control, you’ve likely put your elbows through hell framing at some point. This leads to some tendon strain and possible other injuries and chronic conditions. In this video, I talk with Dr Carlos about chronic elbow pain I’ve developed over the years, why it has happened, and then we kick it to his channel (link at the end) to see what can be done to help this. Hope you like this series!

HUGE shoutout to BJJ Physio for doing these collaborations & to MUSA Visual Media for the amazing filming and editing. Stay tuned for more of these collaborations over the next few weeks! The link for the medical breakdown of this rolling kimura is at the end of this video.

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

Build Shoulder Strength and Mobility With This Sequence

Gary Berger — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 16:30:02 +0000

Weakness and lack of mobility is something that most (if not all) of us deal with at some point.
If you are someone that sits a lot for work or practices Jiu-Jitsu, you will have shoulder mobility limitations and strength deficits.

By maintaining mobility and strength you will ensure proper shoulder function and decrease the likelihood of injuries in whatever activity you choose.

In this sequence, we focus on building shoulder health, stability, and mobility through three exercises and then combine these isolated movements into a dynamic movement that yields incredible benefits.

When performing this sequence, work in a comfortable range, avoid any pinching or pain.

Try These Techniques For A Tighter Triangle Choke

Gary Berger — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 16:02:12 +0000

If you have trouble finishing the Triangle Choke submission, then you could be lacking an important aspect of your hip mobility.

Hip internal rotation is not something many Jiu-Jitsu practitioners focus on, but it is a vital movement for having a tighter triangle as well as the ability to regain guard, and to maintain hip and knee health.

In this video I take you through three important components of improving hip internal rotation which will lead to more success in all of these areas in BJJ!

This video was inspired from a post that I saw on Instagram from BJJ Brown Belt @coach_christinamarie

Fix Your Bump Sweep

Gary Berger — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 20:27:21 +0000

In this video I take a step-by-step approach to improve the “Bump Sweep” for BJJ.

My training partner was having difficulty with generating the power needed for this sweep to more more effectively.

I demonstrate a stretch to open up the hips followed by a few really important techniques to help fire up the glutes and hips as well as to keep the knee safe when performing this technique in order to improve the effectiveness of the sweep.

One Concept To Reduce Injuries and Improve Your BJJ

Gary Berger — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 20:30:03 +0000

A basic concept that is extremely useful for injury prevention by limiting overuse injuries, improving your BJJ, and improving longevity in the body is known as “rotating the tires.”

This is not anything new but its a great concept to think about as it can force your opponent into a position or side they aren’t as comfortable from, it will distribute the load on your body and help maintain symmetry, and it will limit overuse injuries.

Simple and effective. Give it a try!
